Apple Music question...

[BillStrangeOgre]

Hi, I have a MacBook Air M2 and an iPhone 12 Pro. I have a lot of music on my Mac and used to have it on my iPhone before Apple started to demand a subscription to keep it synced.

Anyway, I can get music to my iPhone free as I used to??

Cheers

Thanks but I know this. To use this function I need to subscribe to Apple Music. I'm looking for a free option to transfer music from my Mac to my phone. Or get free downloads from somewhere to my phone

@BillStrangeOgre Wrong, there is no subscription required. Did you actually read it?

You can use a subscription or not, I've been doing for over 15 years and while the application has changed the function hasn't.

 

There are better programs to use but it requires moth escape ;)

Okay, my bad. First, I had contacted Apple and they told me I need to subscribe to get this option.

Thanks, all my music is now synced

No problem. While Apple support are excellent they do make mistakes. However if you have an extremely large collection of audio books it is impossible to use the sync function and a program like iMazing becomes good value.

Itunes is still around, you can download on Mac or windows pc upload your songs then connect your phone to Mac or pc and transfer across.

It is still around for windows and older Mac systems but is discontinued from Catalina onward
