I'm looking for the best way to get my music from iTunes locally onto my HTC One.

Preferably, I'd like to remove the remaining DRM on my iTunes music, and let google play music do the rest (the only songs not on play are DRM-protected).

From there I think I'd just download the library and put it on my phone.

But mainly I guess I'm asking how to remove that DRM?

If you are willing to pay $25 for the year, iTunes match will allow you to download your library drm free. That is what I did and then used Google Music to upload to the cloud.

You can make mp3 versions of your songs within iTunes itself then put it on any device you want. That's what I do.

Go to iTunes settings/preferences then "general" then click the button that says "import settings" and select MP3 encoder. Save the settings.

Then right click the songs you want to convert and select "create MP3 version." You can either keep or delete the AAC version. I delete it because I don't want 2 versions of the same song.

I'm pretty sure it removes DRM... because once I do this, I'm able to do anything I want with it. Amazon cloud, google, etc.

Easiest way, use a music converter program to convert to DRM free MP3, then upload them to google music. I personally like the program sound taxi to do this, can queue up as many songs as you want, it will convert 8-12 at a time until they whole queue is done.

yeah I'm currently trying to burn my music to an audio CD to remove the DRM and re-ripping them to my library. I already did a quarter of my DRM music that way.

The rest of it is on google music.

But can I just drag the MP3s onto the phone?

Thats the more painful (and costs money) way of converting, but it works.

Yes you can just put the music on ur phone, I myself prefer to have it on google music... but I have unlimited data so it doesn't matter for me.
