It is not easy to share music if you are an iOS user. This is a problem faced by more
than half of iOS users and Apple is very strict on this particular matter mostly because a
large portion of the company’s revenue comes from iTunes purchases. But you can
transfer music with iTunes from PC to your iPhone. But now, the problem is worse as
even after a decade iTunes still uses those old school methods to transfer files. So,
now the users are asking how to transfer songs from PC to iPhone, without iTunes.
And this article will detail everything about the topic. So, let's get started!!

Way 1: How to Transfer Songs from Computer to

iPhone with iTunes

“How to copy songs from PC to iPhone?” or “How to copy songs from computer to
iPhone?” are the typical questions asked by any iPhone users. Unfortunately, for them,
the job is not as easy as it sounds. As Apple earns a lot from iTunes purchases, they
have made it very clear that they won’t make song transfers easy for the users. Still,
they had to make a way through all the red tape for the sake of the users and the
reputation of the company to transfer songs to other devices. Apple created iTunes for
that purpose and they did not make it easy. Any new user would not know what to do if
they had to transfer using iTunes. So, the proper instructions are discussed below:

If you want to manually add files to iTunes then,

1. You have to connect your iPhone to your computer with USB cable.

2. Get the latest version of iTunes and run it on your computer.

3. Select the music file you want to add to your library.

4. Now, just drag and drop the files on your iPhone located on the left side of the panel.

Unfortunately, if you are using iTunes, you can only add music from a single library.

If you are unable to manually add files from your device then try below steps:

1. Connect both of the devices with USB cable, like the last time.

2. Run the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

3. On the top left of the iTunes window, a phone icon will be visible. It indicates your
iPhone.

4. On the left side on the window, click on “Summary”.

5. Now, go to the Options and click on “Manually manage music and videos”.

6. Lastly, click “Apply”.

As you can see, you can transfer music files to your iPhone but you have to go through
a lot of steps to do it. Nonetheless, it works and is a viable option. So, if you are stuck
with how to add songs to iPhone from PC, you can use iTunes to perform the activity.
