You can transfer music using Bluetooth or a usb data cable (with software to handle the transfer).

The Bluetooth option is free as long as you have Bluetooth on your laptop, but you can only transfer files one at a time using Bluetooth directly.

Software programs like DataPilot will let you transfer multiple files in one shot, and run about 25 bucks. You hook up your phone to your computer with a usb data cable, and then use DataPilot to copy over the music files.

As the music in iTunes is encrypted with DRM, you cannot directly put it on any non-Apple MP3 player. The easiest way is to burn the music to an audio CD and then rip it back to Windows Media Player or a similar program as an MP3. Or you can get some software to help you. I use TuneClone to do this. Though not free, it is very well worth a try.
