How Do I : Music files from laptop to iPhone X

[Gumpdog]

HI. New on here.
I am on a PAYG sim from 02. My android has recently died & I have been loaned an iPhone X.
(i) How do I transfer music files from my laptop to the X?
(ii) Once the files are stored in the X can I create a playlist and let the phone work through it?
(iii) What music app is the best one to use?
As stated, I'm on PAYG so streaming from iTunes is not an option whenever I'm out of range of a wifi environment.
I hope someone can offer advice. All of the options I've explored seem to either involve using iTunes or purchasing a transfer app.
TIA

Hi Kottu.

Using iTunes is the cheapest way to transfer music files from your PC. Easier to create and arrange playlists and just sync.
