How to transfer your OWN Music to play through the Music App on an iPhone the easy way!!!
I spent days trying to transfer the music I actually own on CD that I had converted to MP3 files. Apple didn't make it easy but I was able to get it to work with all the album cover art....find out how I did it.
This is coming from someone who switched from an android to an iPhone.

Here is a BRAND NEW tutorial that is MUCH easier to follow: th-cam.com/video/OMOlmI05U9g/w-d-xo.html
Don't stop teaching. You are more clear than any professor I ever had in school. Thank you so kindly.
Glad I could help you out!
When did iPhones become so hard to use with iTunes? This is just pathetic how over the years simple tasks become impossible to do with newer technology.
It’s not hard to use when it’s directly plugged in.
@@myreview-aaronfischer if it weren't for iOS, I could do it in two minutes with windows file explorer.
For real the shit use to b so easy with the iPods..
So easy w an android phone on windows
They need to be sued.
I appreciate this so much, man. I've hated iTunes almost throughout its entire existence but sadly, there isn't a better alternative (without having to pay for it). And Apple knows it.
Great tutorial. Anything else I looked up online didn't really show you how to do it but then eventually just got to "use this app..." that they were sponsoring. Great job thank you.
You are a God Send! I have been trying to do this for months! It shouldn't be this hard! Thank you so much for solving this for me! I have spent good money on building my music collection over the pass 50 years, and some of the songs you can no longer find today! It simply pure pleasure to have this music physically on my phone, where I don't have to worry about a connection, and listen to my music all over the world! Thank you so much for this video!
I love when my videos can help someone out like this. You are 100% correct. It should not be this hard.
Great explanation! TY 4 sharing!
THANKS! Managed to download The Ecstatic by MOS DEF and some mixtapes I love which are not on streaming services.
Fantastic!! Glad I could help.
FINALLY!!! This is what I've been looking for! I don't WANT everything on the cloud and HATE iTunes. Thank you!
I love when I can help someone out. I knew I wasn’t the ONLY one having that issue.
then why did you buy a sheepphone- I mean, an iphone
@@jux3283 maybe it was a gift??
@@myreview-aaronfischer haven’t gotten it to work yet but will try again soon. Bummer
Also very important that Aaron did not mention is that, when using iTunes/music apple app you have to go to setting and select not to copy the music to your hard drive. When I was adding music from a folder, iTunes was creating a duplicate in its library taking double space on my hard drive.
I added mine from my thumb drive and had no issues with duplicates.
Thank you. I've been trying to figure this out, this was super clear
You're welcome!
This is where android shines. U download a song and it plays on ur media player. So easy.
I have contemplated going back to android because of this..LOL
@@myreview-aaronfischer i just bought a 2,200 dollar iphone only to realise that i have to cross heaven and earth to get it to play my music 😑
Unfortunately there’s a reason for that, this why you have “android crypto-miners” among androids 😢 but Apple wanting you to do all this shit is sad((((
Hi Aaron, Thank you very much for your tutoriol video. Very helpfull!👍
Thank you!!
Thanks man! I had all the songs I wanted on my iPhone and after downgrading macOS Sonoma to macOS Ventura, which I had to erase my hard drive to do, I tried to transfer the songs to my Mac and somehow everything got deleted from my iPhone. Then it was trying to use iCloud which I didn't want. Fortunately I had a backup of my music library on another drive which was a few months old and not current but close enough. I'll have to find songs I missed and add them back. Thanks for your helpful video! 👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I actually had the exact same tribulation. THANK YOU!!!!!
Glad it helped you!
You are freakin AWESOME! Thank you!
Glad I could help!!
Thank you! I will try again!!
Hallelujah! Congratulations for making a clear presentation of the way to transfer between PC and iPhone. It is made purposely difficult, especially with the version offered by Microsoft store, being different and inadequate compared to the one download it online from the Apple site. Thanks very much. I’m going to save this for reference.
I have a Mac and it is purposely difficult as well. Why not have a normal File transfer from Files...? I dont get the Apple logic
this was so helpful! Thank uou!
Thank you so much for this helpful video! Worked perfectly.
You're very welcome. It makes these video worth it!!
wow thanks for info!
Thank you so much. That was great help :)
Extremely helpful! Thank you sir!
You're very welcome!
Thank you ! Have a good dayy
Thnx man, i needed this video, im gonna sync my music tomorrow, thank you so much
I am glad you found the video useful!
I'm going to try this when i get home, thank you!
Thank you for your video! It was really helpful. We just got a new car that doesn’t have a CD player and has apple play, so i learned through your video how to get our music onto our phone to play for the kids in the car. 🎉
Fantastic! It’s exactly for people like you that made me want to create the video.
I love your music library... It looks just like mine 😂
Excellent! Thanks
You’re welcome!
Fantastic! Thank you. May I suggest a summary page where stepwise instructions are provided so that we don't need to watch the entire video again while implementing them. Thank you!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
James Horner is the best! And thank you so much for this video. Was able to figure out what I needed to do, thanks to you.
Worked pretty well thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
thank you so much, finally got this working thanks to your video
Glad it helped
It was very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you. I have been trying to download my music without success. This is spot on!!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the tips.
You are very welcome!
Thank you! I have been trying for a year to sort this out, being very stubborn because before I updated my iphone, I could just sync from my computer.
Glad it helped.
Thanks so much
You are very welcome!!
you are a legend 🐐
I'm planning to buy the iPhone SE 4 in the near future and never had an Apple product before. It always has been a pain to manage files in these devices everytime I had the opportunity to test. But thank you so much for this info. You just saved us 4 days of trial and error. Maybe more 😬
You just saved me so much time. Thank you, I wish I could buy you a coffee or something to show my appreciation!
this is why I still use an iPod Classic 160g...I got it all where I want it....apple knew what they were doing discontinuing it.
Yeah, I found a way though…LOL
it works! thanks dude 🙌
You are very welcome!
Good video. Thanks. ... I have an iPod touch with about 10GB of my own music which I downloaded onto it myself. I've just purchased an iPhone 15 and I want to transfer all on my music from my iPod to my iPhone. ... Also, I like your idea about transferring ringtones . I want my old ringtone from my Galaxy S5 but I don't know how to put it on my new iPhone.
Thank you for your video if I may suggest you might want to listen to John Barrie music scores
I still having gray dots in some albums, but thanks for your video!
Thanks for doing all of the work. I'm the same way. I'll spend days trying to find a way to do something that *can't* be done. It's a real pain. I'm a lifelong Apple guy, and I do love them, but every time I run into this proprietary roadblock that throws up a paywall, I'm so tempted to get a Sony Xperia 1III.
But those green text message bubbles. Ghastly!
Thanks also for pointing out that downloading iTunes from the Microsoft store doesn't work. I found that out long ago, but it was a headache to figure it out. I even used Winamp again because of the trouble.
The only other thing I can say is I hope you ditch that white crew neck undershirt. It's pretty awful looking. Go with a deep v-neck if you must wear two shirts.
What music app do you have on your PC? I’m using Windows Media Player and cannot get all of my own music to my iPhone which has a music app.
Thank you for very little, highspeed players guide.
My man…you are speaking my language. I do similar things like you. Been dealing with iTunes BS for many years. I’ve got a handle on it now but it’s annoying AF. Now some of my wife’s music won’t play in her phone. Very troubling. I downloaded music from cds and other mp3s. I don’t stream from music services unless I got a strong signal.
The ending song for cammando is what I have been looking for ? Can I put that one song on my Apple playlist
Yep, I had the same problem with Apple Music, I have a massive classic movie score and classic pop 50 to 90s , dance, Soul, Rock. I went through the whole miserable experience. I feel Apple is controlling my music collection and how it is delivered. Playing me like a Stradivarius.
I am angry that Apple can manipulate there customers who are loyal for years.
Excellent video many thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
Thanks for the story and feedback. They do like their own ecosystem.
thanks!
You bet!
I had the same issue with missing cover art on my iPhone - a simple sign out and back in to my account remedied this
Is there a way in the Apple Music app to be able to tell which albums you had uploaded to your phone and which albums came from Apple Music? As I could see it being tricky at keeping up with it. For example, if Apple Music has an album that is a terrible remaster. And so you upload a rip from a first release CD and upload that to Apple Music with album art. Would you be able to tell the difference between the two?
thank youuu
You're welcome!
nice man''
Thank you.....! Worked like a charm!
I am SOOO glad it helped. That's exactly why I made the video in the first place.
Thank you so much Aaron it really was a terrific save for me. I record a lot of music and work it over with GarageBand from editing to EQ and other things, so this was perfect. GREAT HELP SIR....😁@@myreview-aaronfischer
Hi Aaron, I've been syncing my music just like you've shown for a long time now and have never had any issues until yesterday 10-Apr-2024. After I performed the sync, some songs would appear on my iPhone but not play. When I would select them to play, I get an message that says "This song is not currently available in your country or region". After resetting my Apple Music App, now none of the songs are able to be played. Has anyone else reached out to you about this or have you encountered it? Thanks
I have not had those issues.
Krull Ride of the Firemares (and End Titles) is my favorite music of all time.
Aaron, first, thank you for producing this useful and clear video. Just one question. Will these instructions be applicable to an iPod as well as an iPhone? I have a Samsung phone and a PC computer, plus a new 7th generation iPod. Thanks for your help.
I am not sure as I don't live in the Apple ecosystem entirely.
I have used this methode to transfer MP3 Audio book files. What you have to do is: Go to the album info and then select the tab options and there change the media type to audio books. The selection options are: Music, Podcasts, Audio book and spoken memo.
Only video where you get accurate info. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
And what about music that i made myself? I downloaded the song via an email i send to myself but it only pops up in “files”, the “local files” folder in spotify is still empty?? Can you please help me with that?
First time I got my iPhone years ago in think I got it in 1999-2000 I have been doing this I don’t use iTunes I use programs transfer music fast and easy
This is a great video. It helps and I will try! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
I have a similar issue, but I have one artist (The Tubes) where both albums are in MP3 and show up on my iMac, but it refuses to sync one of the albums. I will say that I haven’t tried to use the lightning cable yet, but that will happen this morning. Also, I have most of my album art, but about 6 months ago after an update, a bunch of it got scrambled. So I have a huge mess of album art on the wrong albums. It’s even mixed between music and audio books!! What a mess!! I’ll start with the lightning cable issue today and see what that fixes. Thanks for your help. I have my fingers crossed!!
You will have to manually fix the covers first. Then sync using lightening cable and you should be good. Let me know how it turns out.
Can u tell me that can i add my download music in iphone to apple music without pc
And another question can we do this in one phone and login in our itunes will we get all the songs again
Is there a way to get the music from my phone onto the iTunes? I’ve downloaded allot of stuff from my old pc (ringtones, songs) to the iTunes. I no longer have my old pc or those files, other than on my current phone. After 4 years its time for a new phone so looking for a way to transfer it.
You can download every single song from ITunes. I do it all the time signal or not it’s on my phone.
Just a quick question... the insertion of artwork is not mandatory, right? I can do the sync without going after images, correct? Thank you!
Correct. It may put up random artwork if you don’t. But, it’s not necessary.
Great!@@myreview-aaronfischer Thanks for the lightning quick reply! All the best!
No problem.
You have a nice strong sounding voice
I am a professional voice actor. It’s what I do for a living.
Does this work if I’m trying to transfer Apple Music from one Apple ID to another? I’m really hoping that there is a way to do that
Do you happen to know if you can still keep your Apple Music subscription for new music that you want to stream with this awesome process you figured out? Thanks!
Yes you can.
What a great mic you have. Thank you very 😂.
why aplle makes everything so hard.... thank You for video
Dear Aaron, what a performance!! Also found that when syncing you have to tick the manual box on the general screen. Changing album cover worked well thanks. But did not transfer to phone. Oh!!! hello!!! You have to delete the music and then resend to get all new album covers. There is something called 'Vinyl' out there which is really looking very appealing. A little heavy but what the hell it comes with its own album cover ! Many thanks for your posting it was SO helpful.
I have my phone plugged into my computer but I dont see it show up as a connected device in the apple music app, help.
Thank you very much. I have had a cell phone since 1985 and a Mac since 1988. Hard to believe it's come to this. I have watched your nice video twice and read every comment/question. Am I to understand that you must have cover art to transfer the mp3 audio to my new iphone 13 mini? I have no cover art for any of the 30 or so of my favorite CD's I transferred to mp3's for mobile use. Please help.
You do not NEED cover art to transfer them. Once you transfer they just won’t have the art. Or they will insert something that isn’t correct. It’s a mess. It is best to your own art but not necessary to transfer it.
What music app do you recommend for iPhone? I was looking for a free one without ads and that simply plays music without a place to buy music?
I use Apple Music. The free version. This video shows how to add your music to it. It's a nice interface. There are no music apps for the iphone.
I am so mad at APPLE! my new computer only has Music App - no iTunes to manage my playlists and transfer my own music to my iphone - what a burn! Your video gave me hope of a viable workaround. Thank you!!
How do you transfer music from iphone to an external hard drive?
Agreed, the cover art situation is a mess, sometimes when adding a new CD to my iTunes I click “add cover art” to see how inaccurate it is just as a joke. P.S. I still use an iPod video that I modded with a 512gb ssd, the thing holds my whole music collection of 27000 + songs. So going into remote places like 35km into the woods where there is no cell service, the thing comes in very handy 😁.
Can you listen offline and without subscription?
I was so excited when I finally found the James Horner song from the ending of Die Hard!
A few years ago, I tried to sync my computer and my phone had no idea that I was erasing everything on my phone and not everything on my phone was on the computer so I think I lost something. You kind of answered that here how o did that... now I gotta figure out how to get all the music on my wife's phone onto the computer so then I could put that on my phone.
Can you please do a video on how to transfer FROM iPhone to Mac?
Great stuff but didn't you click on 'Cancel' at 2:15 ?
I would like to be able to transfer home movies. I copied all of them (about 90 or so from 8mm tape) to my desktop about 15 years ago using .avi, but I’m not sure what codecs I used for video nor sound and I didn’t know the difference then. Some of them are 30 seconds to two or three minute clips, and having them available on my iPad would be great, not only to have them easily and readily available, but it would also, allow me to use iMovie or something simple just to combine files.
I really like your teaching style as someone has already said, and if you have had this requested already, then I do apologize. And I will go through your past videos and see, and if I find it, I’ll let you know. Thank you.
I never heard of syncing music to iPhone without the cable. The way you just did it is the way I have always done it. Did you sync it wirelessly before?
Yes, and it’s supposed to work. But has had issues for the last 3 years.
Question for Aaron, if you add music to your iPhone deos it also sync to iPad or will you have to also add to ipad manually with Mac and usb? Thanks
I am not sure but my guess is you would have to manually add it there too. Apple has the music crap locked down and it’s annoying.
then how do you transfer to imac ?
I am not fluent in English but I understand everything 😂 Thanks 🙏
Thank you Aaron for this. I am sure there so many of us as we buy and own our CDs and it is sad that we couldnt even use the iCloud to store them. I have problem which is that I accidentally deleted a recording in my Mac and now the only copy (I don't have a hardcopy) left is in the iPhone. Is there a way to transfer Own Musice from iPhone back to Mac
I have no idea. Never tried in reverse.
@@myreview-aaronfischer Thank you Aaron for taking time to reply
Would I be able to do this from iPod to iPhone? Or would it have to be iPod to PC to iPhone? TIA!
Yep i have the same problem. The songs in my mac library, that weren't downloaded with cover art, doesn't shows up whenever i'm trying to sync them to my Iphone 12. I have a 2021, MacBook air, m1. I noticed that only the songs that have cover art, showed up, and was able to be synced to the iPhone. And i've got tons of songs, or complied mixtapes (mp3) that i wanted to transfer. But i'm not able to download them with cover art, because they are older songs. Most of the newer songs are downloaded with cover art. Plus i listen to the older school, like 90s and early 2000s. Why does Apple has to be such a pain in the ass? Something that should be so simple, is like a mountain to climb. I thought that if u were transferring from a Mac to an iPhone, it would have being easy as 1,2,3? But as it turns out, transferring music from a mac to an Android is easy. Apple is full of shite. I'm sorry, but i will be selling the iPhone 12, and go right back to Android. S21 or s22 should be just fine, no hassle.
I feel your pain. After having an iPhone for about 4 months or so now I can say I wish I would have stayed with Android. They do make it extremely hard to customize stuff. Using a direct cable is the key for music.
Hi Aaron. Thanks so much for the video. I’ve been moving music onto my iPhone like this for years, but recently the transfer has either not been working or the songs are greyed out on my phone, with an error message telling me the content isn’t available in my region. This is happening for music that I own as mp3s. Have you come across this problem or have any suggestions? It’s driving me wild. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
No, I haven’t had any issues. If they do end up locking it out entirely I am moving back to Android.
Currently I’m using VLC for the music that Apple Music won’t play, but the interface is pretty poor and I’ve not worked out how to import playlists. Given I’ve got thousands of albums, this is getting very dull. I wish Apple would just stop being jerks.
I've had three iPod devices and the easiest one to use for music and audio books was was of those tiny little things that only played music. I lost it and replaced it with a Zune, which was fine. My two iphones, however, were stupidly difficult to use as mp3 players. More accurately, I'd spend so much time trying to figure out how to get music on them that I would just give up. I use my old Android phones as pure mp3 players, but I might give another stab at loading up this one old iPhone I have dead in a drawer.
