How to Import-transfer music to iPhone/iPad without iTunes (Bypass iTunes Syncing)

Recently I needed to transfer some music/songs into my iPhone, and I found that for any song/track which you want to add to the iPhone / iPod it must be synced to the iTunes library. Now we may want to transfer just a song and not have it in Music Library like I wanted or some might need to import only particular Music onto the iDevice without using iTunes (iDevice= iOS devices : iPhone, iPod, iPad) . So, here’s a simple tutorial on how you can copy/transfer music from your Mac/Windows pc-laptop without using iTunes .
