How to Sync Music from Computer to iPhone

TL;DR

• You can sync music from a computer to iPhone without deleting existing songs
• Classic iTunes sync replaces music, direct transfer does not
• WALTR PRO adds music straight into the Music app

Intro

Many people still struggle to sync music from computer to iPhone without losing tracks. iTunes and Finder often replace your current library, especially when music comes from a different computer. There is a safer way to add new songs while keeping everything already on your iPhone.

This guide explains how syncing works and shows a method that avoids deletions completely.

Tools like WALTR PRO let you transfer songs without deleting your existing library. Unlike iTunes or Finder, which often overwrite your music, WALTR PRO ensures your current tracks stay intact while adding new ones. Here's how it works:

• Drag and Drop: Just drop your music files into WALTR PRO, and it transfers them directly to your iPhone's Music app.
• Wide Format Support: Converts formats like FLAC, WMA, and APE into iPhone-compatible versions automatically.
• Wi-Fi Transfers: Sync wirelessly if your devices are on the same network.
• Metadata Handling: Automatically adds album art, artist names, and track details.

This matters if you:

1. Use more than one computer

2. Download music outside Apple Music

3. Keep playlists already saved on your iPhone

What You Need Before You Start

Download and Install WALTR PRO

WALTR PRO works on both Mac and Windows, including compatibility with Apple's M-series chips. It supports all generations of Apple mobile devices - even classics like the original iPod. You can start with a 24-hour free trial.

Once installed, WALTR PRO handles everything for you. There's no need to manually prepare files - it automatically converts them and transfers high-resolution audio (up to 192kHz) to your iPhone without losing quality.

1. Connect Your iPhone to WALTR PRO

Start by connecting your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable. Once connected, WALTR PRO will automatically detect your device and display it in the app’s main window. Prefer a wireless setup? If your iPhone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network, you can connect wirelessly by selecting your iPhone’s name in the app. Even if your USB cable disconnects mid-transfer, the process will seamlessly continue over Wi-Fi without restarting.

2. Drag and Drop Your Music Files

Adding music is as easy as dragging and dropping files. Whether it’s individual songs, full albums, or multiple files, simply drag them into WALTR PRO. The app takes care of all the technical stuff - converting and formatting the files while preserving their original quality. Just drop your files, and the app does the rest.

3. Enjoy!

Keep an eye on the progress bar to track your file transfer in real time. Once the transfer is complete, open the Music app on your iPhone to find your new tracks ready to play. The best part? Your existing library stays exactly as it was - no deletions, no overwrites, just your new music added effortlessly.

Sync Playlists and Keep Your Metadata

After ensuring an easy transfer process, WALTR PRO goes the extra mile by keeping your playlists and metadata intact.

Transfer Custom Playlists

With WALTR PRO, moving playlists to your iPhone is as simple as drag-and-drop. When you transfer organized music folders, they automatically turn into playlists on your device, preserving the exact structure you’ve already created on your computer.

Preserve Your Metadata

Metadata like album art, artist names, track titles, genres, and release years stays intact with WALTR PRO. Thanks to its ACR technology, any missing details are automatically filled in. For tracks with incomplete information, simply tap "Fill Metadata with AI", and the app will update everything for you.

To keep your playlist links intact, avoid renaming or moving files outside your music management app.
