How to sync music from iTunes to iPhone

iTunes is an official Apple app that was designed to let you sync music with your iPhone. It also acts as a music player and a music manager, allowing you to edit the track information before adding it to the iPhone. There’s one fatal flaw, though, iTunes always overwrites your music library when adding music to your iPhone. So, if you have tracks on your device that are not in iTunes, they will be deleted.

💡 TIP: use CopyTrans to transfer music from iPhone to iTunes. It will make sure your library is coherent both in iTunes and iPhone.

If you are OK with that, please head over to the official Apple tutorial to learn how to add music from iTunes to your iPhone. If you want to know how to put music on your iPhone without iTunes, continue reading (or watching).

Using Apple Music

If you have an iOS device with Apple Music support, you can easily subscribe to an Apple streaming service called Apple Music. Yes, the disadvantage is that it’s a paid app, but the good news is that you can add music on the go, browse awesome editors’ playlists and use Wi-Fi to download music to iPhone. Be careful not to use your Internet traffic all the time!

Go to Apple’s official website to subscribe to Apple Music.

1. Browse for the track you’d like to add to your iPhone.
   
2. Click on the + icon to add it to your music library. Or click on the big + ADD button to add the whole album. That’s it!
   
3. It’s a good idea to make it available offline not to spend your Internet traffic each time. To do so, click on the cloud icon to download the track to your iPhone. Make sure that you are connected to Wi-Fi – sometimes, files can be rather heavy.
