How to Convert YouTube Music to iPhone

Step 4. Connect the iPhone and choose the destination

If you want to download music straight to your iPhone, you will need to connect it to your computer first. You can connect your iPhone via USB or Wi-Fi, which means that you can transfer music to your iPhone wirelessly. You will see your iPhone’s name under the iPhone option you’ve chosen once the connection is established.

Step 5. Convert & Transfer

Now you just have to click on the ‘Convert & Transfer to iPhone’ button and the program will do the rest of the job. Boo-yah! This is how you can download music directly to your iPhone with just a couple of clicks.

How to Download Music on iPhone Without Computer

Trying to avoid using a computer in the process of searching and downloading your favorite music from the Internet isn’t something you should do, but it is possible.

In order to download music directly to your iPhone and don’t use the computer at all, you’ll have to try out programs like Google Play, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. Let’s see how this is done with the Google Play Music app. These are some of the easiest apps to download MP3 straight to iPhone without using iTunes.

First, you’ll need to download the app from the App Store. The app itself is free to download, but in order to listen to music offline, you’ll have to subscribe. The songs can be added to your personal collection, which has a storage capacity for up to 50,000 songs in the free version of the app.

After you subscribe, every ad is removed so you can enjoy uninterrupted listening. You can listen to your songs while you’re offline and you have the access to over 40 million songs.

Another popular app from this group is Spotify. This wonderful app will allow you to listen to any song you want, from any iOS device you want.

Once you pay for the Premium, you’ll get an ad-free app that can play just about any song existing, and it will also let you download music to your iPhone from the Internet. Everything we said for Google Play Music is valid here also. It’s important to emphasize that Spotify isn’t available everywhere. We hope you’re lucky enough to live somewhere where it is.

Also, we will mention a solution with the Documents app. So, this is an app on the App Store that is used as the file manager. It also has an Internet browser integrated into it, so you can browse the net with it.

What that means is that you can go to the sites that offer free downloading and converting YouTube videos and use them to download songs on the iPhone from the Internet.

The thing is that you cannot play this music with your native Music app, but just the Documents app.

How to Download Music from SoundCloud and VEVO to iPhone

The above-mentioned SYC does another great thing that we didn’t say. It can download music directly to your iPhone from SoundCloud and VEVO platforms.

In fact, you can download music straight to the iPhone from SoundCloud or VEVO in just a few clicks of your mouse. All you have to do is find the song you want and copy its URL, while SYC is opened. The app will do the rest of the job.

Also, you’ll have to choose the format and where to save, as you did with the YouTube download. After you’ve done that, the program will download music straight to the iPhone. The fact that SYC does so many things by itself is what makes it such a good music download app and one of the best programs to download MP3 to iPhone directly and without iTunes.
