To get music on your iPhone to enrich your music library, adding iTunes music to your iPhone is one of the many ways. With iTunes, you don’t need to buy any third-party software or services to transfer music to your iPhone, which makes it a good option for users who want to transfer music from computer to iPhone for free.

This article will provide you all the details about how to add iTunes music to iPhone.

Methods To Add Music To Iphone From Itunes

Method 1. Automatically Add Music to iPhone from iTunes

If you want iTunes to automatically add songs to your iPhone when it’s connected, here is how to do it.

To automatically transfer music from iTunes to iPhone:

• Connect your iPhone to the computer with a USB cable. (iTunes will run automatically.)
• Unlock your iPhone and trust the computer. If asked, enter your iPhone password as required.
• Click the device icon and choose “Music”.
• Check the option “Sync Music” and choose “Remove and Sync” in the new iTunes window.
• Select to sync the “Entire music library” or “Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres” from iTunes to your iPhone. If you choose the latter, continue to select the specific items you want to transfer.
• After the selection, click “Apply” > “Sync” to start transferring music from iTunes to your iPhone.
• When the syncing is over, you can check the songs on your iPhone by going to “Music” > “Library” > “Songs”.

Method 2. Manually Transfer Music from iTunes to iPhone

If you prefer to take more control over the data transfer, you can choose to manually copy songs from iTunes to your iPhone.

To manually move music from iTunes to iPhone:

• Connect your iPhone to your computer and make sure iTunes is running.
• Unlock your iOS device and trust the computer.
• In the iTunes window, click your iPhone icon and choose “Summary” from the left panel.
• Check “Manually manage music and videos” in the “Options” section and click “Apply” to save the settings.
• Go to “Devices” > “Music”. Open the folder that contains the songs, select the items you want to sync, then drag and drop them to the left panel or to the center of the window. (You can also drag and drop songs from the iTunes library to your device.)

Bonus Tip – Move Music to iPhone from Computer via Finder

iTunes has been discontinued in macOS Catalina and Finder does the data syncing and device backup jobs on the Mac. Thus, if you want to transfer music to your iPhone from a Mac that is running macOS Catalina, you should use Finder instead of iTunes.

To put music to iPhone via Finder:

• Open a Finder window and connect your iPhone to the Mac.
• Choose your iPhone and select the type of content you want to sync, namely “Music”.
• Check the option “Sync music on to [your iPhone name]” and select the items you want to transfer.
• Click “Apply” to start syncing music to your iPhone from the computer.

It’s necessary to stress again that using iTunes or Finder to sync music to your iPhone will cause loss of the existing media files on your iPhone. Therefore, if you want to avoid data syncing to keep your files, you will need to transfer music from the computer to your iPhone without iTunes.
