How do I put music on my phone? I have both a Mac and a pc

Hi @NorthTower.

Have you tried using Apple Music?

Apple Music will be the default music service on an iMac and an iPhone.

What phone are you using?

it depends on where your music is

if you use apple music you can download via the app, but it will constantly be re-downloading and always gets stuck.

If you have music stored in YT Music (migrated after Google Play Music closed) you can do similar.

you could also share your music folder on your mac/pc and install an app on your mobile called 'fx explorer', this will let you connect to a shared folder on your network and you can just copy the files across to your phone.

Only issue is that the apple music app won't let you see music already on your phone, but the YT Music app will, you just need to enable it in the settings.

All my music is on CDs that I would copy on to my PC, and then to the phone, presumably?

Hi @NorthTower,

That's right, you'd need to transfer the CD's onto your PC's hard drive before you can move them to your phone.

Connect your phone to your PC by USB & new drive will appear on the PC, being your phone. Using the PC's File  Manager you can copy files in the PC to your phone, e.g. to the Music folder.
