There's plenty of ways to do file management on the iPhone...downloading MP3's directly to the music app just isn't one of them (for very obvious reasons I mentioned before).

linsiris...feel free to offer an example of this. I'd really like to see in what fashion it saves it to the device and how it could be used in the way one would expect to use an MP3 file (IE: listening to it). I will certainly admit I am wrong if i can see an example...to be honest, I've never actually given it much research since iTunes is such an easy layout to do this with, i guess i just can't see why someone would want their music saved outside of the native music app (given the features and near effortless UI it offers).
Also, in order to use it with the music app, you still have to connect to iTunes right? What's the point? Like adding a middle man.
Not really...there are apps (or used to be) that allowed files to be "saved" within the app, almost like saving the website address to an MP3 file on Safari and accessing it. Not really the same as saving directly to the iPhone (which, thankfully, is not possible since it would open the door to all kinds of issues that you find on other platforms that allow this kind of thing).
I always get wary of these threads when the first post says "I know on Android we can...", usually spells out the obvious.
Itools, works great and a lot easier than iTunes. From running the program to learning how to use it to putting some Spanish lessons mp3 on iphone without a sync took only a few minutes, too easy. Tip you to put the mp3's into iTunes then drag to itools, loads only the mp3 automatically.
Keith, I'm new to the iPhone/iOS world, having come from many years of Blackberry and Android. I have a pair of iPhone 5s's (one for me & one for wife). I have a bunch of classical music CD's that I can rip into MP3 files with no problem. Also, I know how to modify each mp3 file's metadata.Add music to your iTunes library and sync.

Thanks for your help!
- What is the best way to transfer these to the iPhone. I've never used iTunes except for the App store (I don't know if it even uses iTunes)?
- Does the iPhone have a concept similar to albums, so if you have a bunch of tracks (mp3 files) that you want to keep together, you can?
- How are the tracks stacked/ordered in the iPhone? Do you need to manipulate each track's metadata, such as the 'title' field?
- How are the albums arranged? Alphabetical order? By which metadata field?
- Do you know of any utility (I'm a Windows guy) to make this job easier?
Hello! Who is the "you" your talking with? The last comment was in May. There's another thread about your subject.When you say that it can't be any easier than adding it to iTunes and then syncing it, I must wonder if you realized that the extra step precludes it from being the easiest possible way to add music to a phone.
Someone sends me an mp3, I download it into my phone by clicking on it. That, is easy.
Adding it to a program after receiving it, then syncing two machines, is not the easiest method, by far.
I have a macbook pro, an iphone, an ipad air, and now a samsung galaxy S5 that is kicking my iphone to death in terms of capacity, screen size, chip speed, and the ability to change memory cards and.....batteries!
When my iphone and the rest die, I'm finished with apple. Paid too much for tech that is almost always behind the times, and less convenient.

There are also some apps on Appstore that you can download mp3
