- mr_toad 5y agoOn a Windows machine you need iTunes to sync music and transfer files according to the docs. (You don’t need to use the iTunes store, but you do need the app to sync music). It’s been a while since I’ve used a windows machine of my own. I doubt it works on Linux unless maybe it works with WINE.
- ProAm 5y agoYeah wine doesnt work with USB. It's crazy you need iTunes (which is being discontinued) to copy music to a device you have access to and can connect to your computer. It's the only hold up I currently have to getting an iPhone. I have a lot of music that just isn't sold or available on any streaming platform that I'd like to copy over but I dont have a windows or mac available. I do have several linux machines available though. I bought a 13 Pro but had to return it. So bummed because Im over Google/Android.
- mr_toad 5y agoI guess the only other solution would be to upload the files to iCloud Drive (not the music library) and play them with a third party app.
- ProAm 5y agoI checked that too, I couldnt find software that would import into the music library from iCloud either. Id be very interested if you know of one that works? I'll keep searching. Or if I wander into an extra $1000 bucks I can buy a mac soley for the purpose of getting music on my phone that I own.
