The seemingly endless depths to which Apple goes to make something that should be "cut and paste" difficult is mindboggling. Have spent more time and effort than I would like to admit to figure this out. This is the first time someone has been able to show me how to do this successfully. Thank you, sir! I say again, thank you.

Apple products are Not Plug & Play, you cannot plug a USB and cut and paste etc, you have to go through their system, waste lots of time. If I’m a composer, I wouldn't trust their system before I get a proper copyright.

You are a life saver! I'm a Windows & Android person. I "had" to purchase an iPhone 13 to learn it. I can stress enough how much your video has helped today, last couple of months. I come back to several of your video now and then. Keep up the great work!

Yours was the best tutorial. I just wasted hours trying to transfer my music to my iPhone. Came across dozens of videos and websites, but unlike the others, yours was clearly explained. Made the process seamlessly easy. Thank you. I applaud you for an excellent tutorial! Wow! You’re the best!

FANTASTIC!!! Worked exactly as you described… I’ve spent hours and hours combined through webpages and KZread videos until I clicked on your video here. My songs are now on my phone. You’re my hero!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

As of now this video is outdated, they removed the "Sync Music" checkbox that he used, I am still looking for another solution.

I second ​ @obesebabyyum question. I am so mad because I pay for the imatch service and apple is not syncing my files to my phone... If I could just drag and drop them onto the phone this wouldn't be an issue. I don't want to buy a macbook just to manage my phone. This is so dumb. Oh and now iTunes is no longer a thing. SOOOO if your PC has iTunes on it DO NOT INSTALL APPLE MUSIC. It will destroy your iTunes software...

You are the best. I went through many resources and you’re the first to mention about the default music folder and how to select another folder. You made my life so much easier. Thank you so much!

This was such a help thank you! ♥️ I would have stayed confused and frustrated had it not been for this tutorial I was about to just record the music from the camera on my iPhone while it was playing on the computer haha keep up the good work you are helping a lot of people out!

3 years on, ios 17 at this point, i endlessly struggled to work out how to sync my music library, shamelessly all i needed to do was add folder to library option and i salute you sir, thankyou so much as it was making me stir crazy!

mine only says “manually manage videos”- i have apple music but wanted to add music which is unreleased/not on apple music but its working- it says it is “icloud music library enabled” and i cant seem to find a way to able it?

Well, it may have been a quick tutorial for you, Kevin, but it was life or death for me 😊😊😊. Beautifully, and simply explained.... and at a pace that an old chap like myself could keep pace with. Well done. Regards and thanks from sunny Spain.

This was actually PERFECT. Thank you so much I just thought this wasn’t possible anymore on iPhone for the longest time and didn’t want to get any paid apps for this haha. You’re the best! New sub for sure :)

Thx man, this helped a lot. I lost all my songs and for some reason wasn't able to add any, but following these steps helped more than the 5+ hours looking at different articles and doing what they said. Thx again man, much love.

Thank you so much for sharing. I was in the dark before I watched your vid. Again thank you!

Simply put, this tutorial works. As I am writing this, I am playing Rush on my iPhone 11. Files acquired from a Windows 10 computer.

This is an excellent video. However, there is one essential piece of information missing: when installing iTunes on a Windows PC for the first time, it doesn't automatically load the Windows Explorer Music folder into the iTunes library. Therefore, after installing iTunes, one must first click on the File item in the menu bar and then click on Add Folder to Library. One then has to choose the Windows Explorer Music folder. Once chosen it will scan the folder and invite one to convert any non-Apple format files to AAC. Depending on the size of one's Music folder, the number of files to be converted and the computer speed, this can take a long time!

Thank you....Finally an easy way to learn... Very well explained.

Very well explained. Just one question: when you brought up the screen where you specify the syncing choice, it has that middle section called "Backups". But because I've been hacked twice I don't want to back anything up to the cloud, nor do I want or need a full Iphone 12 Mini backup to my MS 11 PC. So how do I get around this "backup" section so I don't backup my Iphone anywhere?

It's effective for sure. But on android, you only need to copy the music to your phone storage(any file location) and that's it, your music is on your phone. No need to install an app on your computer and sync them. But this process isn't that much of a hassle so it's fine too.

@@mr.j5112 Yeah, I agree. I mostly meant the video provided all I needed to know in quick and simple fasion :) Apple tends to complicate simple processes, but then again, once you connect this setup, you can then transfer music using Wi-Fi which is quite handy. I think it would be way easier if I had an Apple computer, I believe iTunes comes as part of their system. The more you get into their ecosystem, the easier it gets, but the harder it gets to get out :)

Hi, Very nice video, well done. If I may ask Kevin, I have an Itunes library on my Windows laptop of about 9500 songs and 60 playlists(About 40 GBS total) set up so far. I just received an iPhone XR and my question regards syncing such a large amount of songs. I saw on your video that you chose to sync all the songs at once, would you recommend this for my situation?

You lost me there when you said I need to install iTunes. Using iTunes to do something as simple as this is like killing a fly with a jackhammer. Besides, Apple has already discontinued this abomination on the Mac in favor of integrating the interface with iOS into its Finder because its trying unify the codes for all of its OSes. Microsoft should release something of the same like a native program baked into Windows to handle such simple tasks for iOS and iPadOS like what it is doing with Windows Subsystem for Linux.

For some reason, my itunes has completely changed when I try to do any of this with my phone. When I go to the music part, instead of "sync music" I just have "sync voice memos" And I am confusion. Just let me transfer some music. I appreciate how straight forward you are and easy to follow, but I think at this point I just need to go to the store. So annoying.
