Transfer playlist from iPhone to music 2021
How to... Transfer music from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod to iTunes or MusicIf you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod (touch, classic, nano...), you probably use iTunes or the macOS Music app to listen to and manage your music on your Mac or PC. Those apps are great, but they don't let you retrieve songs from the mobile device, which can be especially problematic if you don't subscribe to Apple Music. You may want to recover songs you manually synced from an old iPod or iPhone, or quickly grab a track you're working on with your band, or even rebuild an entire music library from scratch. iTunes, the Finder and the macOS Music app won't help in those cases. Fortunately, iMazing can help. Show
With iMazing, you can copy music files from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to iTunes or the Music app, retaining all their metadata: each track's name, artwork, and even ratings and play counts. And you can also transfer your meticulously curated playlists. And if you're worried about duplicates, well, iMazing makes sure it doesn't copy files already in your iTunes library. Here is how to transfer music from your iPhone (or iPad, or iPod) to iTunes or the Music app:
Before you beginDownload and install iMazing on your Mac or PC computer Download for Mac Download for PC In-Depth Tutorial1. Launch iMazing on your computer and connect your deviceDownload and install iMazing. Launch the app, and connect your device to your Mac or PC. 2. Select your device in the iMazing's sidebar, then select MusiciMazing will take a few seconds to load tracks and playlists from your device's music library, and check the music library on your computer to determine which tracks are already present.
3. Select the music you want to exportTo copy a specific album or song use the Genre/Artist/Album filters and search bar to narrow down displayed tracks, and select the ones you wish to export. To copy a playlist select it in the left sidebar and do not select any specific tracks. To copy your entire library don't select anything and jump straight to step 4.
4. Click the Export buttonIn the toolbar at the bottom of the window, click Export to iTunes (Windows and legacy macOS versions), or Export to Music (macOS 10.15 and above). iMazing will display the following export options window: 5. Customize your exportThe export options window lets you review and refine your selection, and customize what metadata will be included. ReviewIn the top part of the window, you'll see how many items are selected, how many are already present in your computer's music library, and how many will effectively be exported. If you hadn't selected any items manually, all currently filtered items are considered as selected. In the next block, you can still change your mind about your selection and instead opt to export the entire library. If you click on Library, you can further refine which types of items to export. Customize metadataIn the 3rd block of the export window, you define which types of metadata iMazing will export to your music library. By default, all of the following are checked:
6. Transfer your MusicClick Export, and iMazing will start transferring the files from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer's music library. Depending on how many files you're copying, this may take a while.
Once iMazing finishes working, you'll see the operation listed as successful in the Operations Window. Click on the magnifying glass icon to reveal a log file summarizing the export: The log is in CSV format. Here's an example: Exporting music to iTunes on macOS 10.14 Mojave and to the Music app on Catalina and aboveWith macOS 10.14 Mojave, Apple added new security features which guard against malware and spyware accessing your information and controlling your apps via automations. You must now explicitly authorise apps to access specific data and automated actions, and this includes authorising apps such as iMazing to control iTunes or the Music app in order to import music to your music library. The first time you will use iMazing's Export to Music feature on macOS 10.14 or above, you will be prompted twice by macOS to authorize iMazing to 'control' iTunes.app and System Events.app:
After granting iMazing access through both prompts, you can proceed with the export as usual and will not be prompted again. If you've ever denied iMazing access, iMazing will display a dedicated screen when you try to export media: Simply follow the instructions on screen to whitelist iMazing:
Going furtherIf you check Only Show Transferable Media, just above the toolbar, iMazing only shows those files it can copy. If you uncheck this option, any files that iMazing cannot transfer display greyed out. There are two reasons why iMazing may not be able to copy files:
Speaking of DRM, sometimes tracks that you've purchased via the iTunes store may also be protected and unreadable. This is rather rare since Apple changed stance quite a few years ago on this matter, and most purchased tracks are now DRM free. If a track you've selected for export is DRM protected, iMazing will display the following warning:
