How to play music to the iphone

Today, streaming music services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music or YouTube Music have gained prominence in the music scene. Every month more users religiously pay their subscription to enjoy millions of songs without limits. In front of them, there are still those who prefer to have their own music downloaded and who have an extensive music library on their computer. If this is your case, then we will show you how to transfer music to iPhone from your Mac or PC.

iTunes is still the key to transfer music to the iPhone

Although iTunes , with the passing of the years and the landing of new services and functions, has become a kind of "tailor's box" where almost everything fits, the truth is that it is still the most advisable method to pass music to iPhone. In fact, once you have loaded all your songs into iTunes, the process is quite simple, and allows you to choose what you really want to always have on hand on your iPhone: certain playlists, musical styles, artists, albums, etc. Let's see how to do it:

• The first thing you should do, and forgive me for the obvious, is to connect the iPhone to your Mac or PC via the supplied USN - Lightning cable. Now open iTunes on your Mac or PC, always making sure you have the latest version installed Once iTunes recognizes your iPhone, select your device in the upper left corner.

  

  Now click on Music in the sidebar. Select the music you want to transfer to your terminal. If you have a well-organized library, now is when you will be able to choose between turning “the entire music library”, or the “playlists, artists, albums and genres” that you select. You can also decide whether to transfer videos and / or voice memos, by unchecking the corresponding boxes.

  

  Once you have selected all the music you want to transfer to your iPhone, click OK , a button located in the lower right corner of the screen. Synchronization will automatically start. Otherwise, press "Synchronize".

Now you just have to wait for the process to finish. Remember that this can be extended more or less in time depending on the number of songs that is happening to your iPhone. Until it finishes, don't disconnect the device from your computer.

When the synchronization has finished, you will be able to access all your music from the Music app on your iPhone, where you will have the songs organized in the same way that you have them in iTunes: by music genres, artists, albums and, of course, also the playlists you have created.

Other methods to transfer music to iPhone?

Apart from iTunes, there are other programs that allow you to transfer music to the iPhone, such as AnyTrans , or Tenorshare . But these are paid applications and honestly, with iTunes you can do the same, but for free and with total security, so there is no justification for recommending them to you.

Finally, you can also use cloud storage services. The most recommended given its integration with all Apple devices is the company's own cloud, iCloud . And also, you can also use Google Drive, DropBox, Box, or any other, such as MEGA , where you have 50 GB free.

The good thing about these services is that any song or album that you add to the folder of the service in question on your Mac or PC will be automatically available on your iPhone as well. The bad? That except in the case of MEGA, you will soon have to pay for extra storage.
