Why can’t I add my own music to my iPhone?

Due to copyright laws and privacy regulations, Apple generally does not allow users to add their own music to iPhones without using the Apple Music app. Apple Music provides access to millions of songs that can be streamed, downloaded, and added to your library.

Apple Music is the only official way to add music to an iPhone without going through iTunes, as it ensures that all content is properly licensed and is of a higher quality. Additionally, it prevents users from uploading low-quality or illegal music and removes any risk of malware that can come with downloading music from unofficial sources.

Other streaming services like Spotify and YouTube Music can also be used to stream and download music, but you will still need an Apple Music subscription to add that music to your iPhone’s library.

There you can select Songs, Artists, Albums, Genres, or Playlists to view your music library.

Secondly, you can save MP3 files directly to the Files app on your iPhone. Any MP3 files stored in the Files app will appear in the Music app as well. To do this, open the Files app and navigate to the location of your MP3 files, whether it be iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, or a third-party cloud storage provider.

Once you are in the correct location, tap “Select” at the top right and then tap on the MP3 files you would like to add. After all files have been selected, tap on the “Add” button at the bottom right.

How do I add MP3 files to Apple Music on iPhone?

Adding MP3 files to Apple Music on your iPhone is straightforward, but you’ll need to add the files to your music collection on your computer first. After that, the files will sync to your iPhone the next time you plug it in.

Begin by downloading the files to your computer, then launch iTunes on your computer. Ensure you’re logged into your Apple Music account and that you have the latest version installed. If you’re using a PC, you can use the Windows Media Player to drag MP3 files into the Library, then sync your device.

Once your files are added to your Library, you can sync your iPhone to your computer by either USB or Wi-Fi. Connect your device to your computer, select “Sync” in iTunes, and hit “Apply”. The files you’ve previously added to the Library will appear in the Music section on the iPhone.

To make sure all your music is available, head to your device’s Settings and select Music, then switch on iCloud Music Library.

You can also add an MP3 file directly to your iPhone. Plug your device into your computer, open its files, then drag and drop your MP3 file into the section provided. The file should then appear in your Music app.

Voila! Now you know how to add MP3 files to Apple Music on your iPhone.

Why can’t I import MP3 into iTunes?

If you are unable to import MP3 files into iTunes, there are several possible reasons why.

First, make sure that you are using a supported file format. iTunes supports several audio file formats, including AAC, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless and MP3. If you are trying to add an unsupported file format, iTunes will not be able to import the file.

Second, confirm that your music files are DRM-free. DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected files will not be able to be imported into iTunes as they contain technology that restricts their usage and distribution.

Third, check to make sure that the MP3 files are not corrupted. If the audio file has been corrupted by a virus or other external influence, it will not be able to be opened. Use a third party tool such as ‘Reason’ to test the integrity of the file.

Fourth, ensure that your iTunes version is up to date. Updating your software to the latest version often resolves any issues with importing files.

Finally, try to import a different MP3 file and observe if you have the same issues. If you still have problems with the other file, try restarting iTunes, your computer, and your external audio device (if applicable).

If these steps do not work, you may need to reach out to Apple support.
