How to Transfer Music from Computer to iPhone in 2024

Before we proceed to the exact tutorial on how to save any MP3 file to an iPhone, let's take a quick overview of what formats are actually available for iPhone or iPad playback.

Thanks to their high-resolution displays, Apple devices are amazing at playing back videos and movies. They often have good storage capacity and can hold quite a substantial video collection.

The only weak point is that many video files and music formats are incompatible with the default iOS player.

Formats Supported by Apple gadgets:

• Audio Playback: MP3, ALAC, AAC.
• Video Playback: MP4, M4V, MOV.

On iOS devices, all formats except those from the green frame are non-starters. And there is quite a meaty chunk of video file formats: MKV, AVI, WMA, WMV, CUE, FLAC, etc.

In this article, we'll show you how to make video file formats playable on your iThingy. More precisely, you'll learn how to convert them and download them in MP4 file format to your iOS device.

How to Transfer Music from Computer to iPhone

It's always better to have a visual image of how something works. That's why we put together a short screencast showing off this method:

To transfer your MP3 songs to your iPhone, you first need to install WALTR PRO. This powerful app works on Mac and Windows and lets you transfer any content—including MP3s—from your computer to Apple devices.

The app caused a huge buzz when it was launched – it was the first tool that could send any type of content you wish via simple drag and drop.

Moreover, you don't have to worry about the file format since WALTR PRO adapts them all to the MP4 video or MP3 on the fly.

Step 1. Download WALTR PRO and install it

You can test the app absolutely free of charge. During the app's startup, you will receive a free trial code via email.

Once you download it, you'll get a welcome video explaining how to use WALTR.

WALTR PRO supports Wi-Fi transfer, but to enable it, you still have to connect your iPhone (or any other Apple device you might own) to your machine. Then, you can switch on Wi-Fi connectivity. The next time, you can transfer MP3 to your iPhone without connecting it to a computer.

Step 2. Plug-in your iPhone

WALTR will recognize your iPhone immediately after you connected it.

Step 3. Drop your movie into WALTR.

You can drag that MP3 file with your mouse and simply drop it into the WALTR window. The screenshot shows how easy it is.

The blue progress line shows the length of the video transcoding process. Once that blue bar fills up completely, the file will be copied to your Apple device.

Furthermore, it is in the Apple Music app. You can find it in the playlist of the standard iPhone or iPad application, whereas other solutions require you to install third-party players on your iOS device.

I'm sure you are impressed. If you have ever tried alternative ways to download MP4 videos to iPad from cloud storage without iTunes (or from your iPhone to iTunes), you know how completely user-unfriendly they can be.

But instead of wasting hours before your screen on converting, you have your video file copied to your iPhone ASAP. Well, there are even more things WALTR PRO is capable of!

Round-up of essential WALTR PRO features:

• You can forget about iTunes sync altogether. WALTR PRO replaces it entirely and can even download MP4 videos and MP3 files to an iPhone cable-free, even without an internet connection.
