Frustrated with Android Music

So I just got a Galaxy S3 and put a 16GB card in it. I can transfer music over just by copying and pasting into the SD card. But when I do that, I have no album info or art. I can manually go through and edit each one with an app but with over 1000 songs, that doesn't seem likely to happen. My iTunes library has most of the art and all the info. When going in to modify the music with a tag editor of all the info in Windows, it recognized everything. But putting it on the phone and it breaks the titles back down to primitive formats with track numbers and titles mashed together and is a huge mess.

There's gotta be a way to transfer my iTunes files to my Android. I've found several programs to do it with, but require my phone to be in USB Mass Storage mode, which the S3 can't do without being rooted. I don't want to root my phone just for this. Any ideas?
 
Rooting and flashing a new ROM on your phone is always better than stock. It gets rid of useless apps and can really speed your phone up.

Not if you root it, but when you wipe it and flash a ROM, yes.

Root = given access to "restricted" commands and allows apps to do more and other freedoms like that?

ROM = New OS essentially?

Lucas, I'll keep my badge regardless of my phone thank you.
 
Use either DoubleTwist or Google Play Music, both will sync your iTunes library to your phone.

I tried Double Twist but needed USB Mass Storage mode which I didn't have. I got it figured out. I think copying the files directly out of my iTunes media folder works just fine, but when I first did it the music wasn't shuffling and started at the top where there like maybe 70 songs that had track numbers and messed up info. So I thought it was all messed up as I flipped through a few dozen songs. After those the songs were normal with art and what not.

Whatever works, there are a lot better and more seamless ways of doing it though.

The way I have mine setup, whenever I make a change to my iTunes library (add a song, remove, change between playlists, rate it, etc.) it gets synced instantly to my Android without me having to do anything, even if I'm not on the same network. Google Music is awesome.
