How to transfer mp3 files to 4s from a PC without itunes?

No can do. Closest you can do is to use iCloud and iTunes Match. Otherwise, for mp3 files you will have to import them to iTunes on the computer and then sync them to the phone.

How To Transfer MP3 Files from HD to IPOD?

I just got a new 30GB IPOD which I assume is the latest model. It came in a black box and says part number "PA149LL/A", but has no model number on the box.
The published web documentation for this is WRONG, and hard copy instruction with the unit is NON EXISTENT. I have no idea how to get music from MP3 files on my hard drive onto this thing.
I went to preferences and set the music file address to the folder which contains all of my MP3 files. I also set it to "manual" mode for music creation. I tried to create a playlist.
I can not get any way to "find" a music file through the ITunes screen. None of the screen graphics look like what is posted on the apple web site help material.
FYI: it did dump a ton of these same MP3 files onto the Ipod when I let it go in "automatic mode".... which I wanted to then remove when I realized half the files didn't have valid tags the Ipod could recognize so they were not filed correctly.
I tried to delete the songs from the Ipod as instructed on the website using: "clear" the playlist, and then command the thing to update the Ipod playlist. My first lesson courtesy the 800 phone help line: it can't do that unless you put it into "manual" mode, contrary to what the web site says.
Is there any place to go to get accurate operating instructions for THIS model?
I am not exactly a computer moron. I design PC hardware and power supplies for a living and have three college degrees. This thing needs some basic instructions on how to do a few things..... like load and play music.
Any advice would be appreciated on how to get this Itunes software to see or access my MP3 files stored in a folder on my desktop. I set the address in the preferences, but that did not help.
I'm not even sure exactly how or where the "search" files should appear when looking through Itunes?

Part numbers beginning with P are usually promotion items.
You can buy a stack of 'em & give to employees, grand openings, etc.
They are the same as regular retail iPod, just a different model number. http://www.apple.com/ipod/imaging/
Looks like you have a black, 30GB video iPod.
Here's a great place to start to learn how to use iTunes and the iPod.

That will tell iTunes to use this folder. iTunes does not "watch" this folder to see if anything is added. You have to add it to the library yourself and iTunes will put it in this folder under Artist -> Album.
If you IMport a file, it will convert it to the format set in teh iTUnes prefs. If you Add a file, it will simply add it to the library in the format it already is.
To get music into iTunes;
- insert a CD and select Import.
- click on iTunes Music Store and purchase songs.
- go to iTunes menu - File -> Add (Folder or file) to library and select the file/folder.
- Drag songs onto iTunes.
To get music onto the iPod;
- Plug it in.
Yeah, it really is that simple.
Easiest way to manage your library is to use iTunes.
Edit the ID3 tags, add delete songs and put them onto the iPod.

I cannot copy or transfer mp3 files stored on external drive back into itunes so i can listen to book again

Hi,
I mostly use itunes for listening to audiobooks which I have been collecting for years. Have hundreds of them. A few years ago when computer too full and my itunes library too big I carefully copied the books onto an external hard drive as mp3 files and then removed them from itunes. (At that stage I really wanted a non itunes library backup as I had already lost library a couple of times....now I understand the itunes back up a bit more and can use it.)
However I have lots of my favourite books on an external drive and I want to listen to them again. I cannot go to the folder holding a book, select all the the mp3 files that make up the book and drag them into my itunes music file as I can with a mp3 disc. There are 73 files on the first book i want to move!
Itunes has been selected as the default player and will play the files but I cannot transfer them.
Under details on a file it reads NOT PROTECTED
I am the administrator of my computer, indeed am its only user.
Cannot think of anything else that might be useful.
hope you can help
Elizabeth

luckily that is also backed up on the external drive too so I'll try looking there, but do you have any thoughts on why I can't get the backed up files to stay on the PC correctly ? because until they are back on my PC I can't use it or get the rankings back right?

You can use "infospoke" to save file in the Application server(AL11).

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
