How to transfer music from PC to iPhone 15 on Windows 11?

Making sure your music files are in a format that's compatible with iPhone. Apple likes to play nice with MP3, AAC, and WAV files, but some formats like WMA or RA might not be recognized. You can use Windows Media Player (WMP) to convert your files to the correct format.

Before transferring music from PC to iPhone 15 on Windows 11, check your iPhone's storage space. You can do this by going to Settings > [your name] > Storage & iCloud Usage. If your iPhone is running low on storage, you might need to delete some files or consider upgrading to a larger storage plan. You can also use iTunes or the iPhone's built-in storage management features to free up space.

When connecting your iPhone to your PC, ensure you're using the correct USB cable and port. Use a USB-C cable (if your PC has a USB-C port) or an adapter if needed. Avoid using a USB hub or extension cord, as it might cause connectivity issues.

If you're using iTunes to transfer music from PC to iPhone, make sure it's updated to the latest version. You can check for updates in the Microsoft Store or download it from Apple's website. Additionally, ensure that your Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is up-to-date. You can check for updates in the Device Manager (Windows key + X > Device Manager) or download it from Apple's website.

One thing to note is that iTunes is no longer available for new Windows PC or laptop. It is now replaced by the Apple Devices app from Microsoft Store. After that, use the Apple Music app to sync music between Windows devices and iPhone. This is very complicated and time-consuming process now!

It is more recommended to use other simple methods to transfer songs from PC to iPhone such as cloud storage, mobile device manager app or FTP server!

iTunes makes it easy to enjoy your favorite songs and playlists on your mobile device. Whether you want to sync a new album, a curated playlist, or a mix from your music library, iTunes is the reliable bridge to migrate your music files to iPhone.

How to transfer music from PC to iPhone using iTunes:
Step 1: If you are using Windows, install the latest version of iTunes on your PC. For Mac users running macOS Catalina or later, use Finder.
Step 2: Connect your iPhone to your PC using a USB cable.
Step 3: Open iTunes (or Finder) and select your iPhone when it appears.
Step 4: Drag and drop music files from your PC to your iTunes library (or add via File > Add to Library).
Step 5: Click the Music tab, select Sync Music, and then select the songs you want to transfer. Finally, click Apply to start the transfer.

One simple trick is using Apple Music for transferring music from PC or laptop to iPhone. It allows you to upload music to iCloud. First, open iTunes on your PC and sign in with your Apple ID. Next, enable iCloud Music Library from the preferences in iTunes.

Now, upload your music library to iCloud, and it will sync with your iPhone if you're logged in with the same Apple ID and have iCloud Music Library enabled on your iPhone. Use the Music app on your iPhone to download the songs to iPhone from iCloud.

I can give you the scoop on the disadvantages you might encounter when using OneDrive to transfer music from Windows 11 PC to iPhone 15. One of the biggest downsides is that any music you upload to OneDrive won't show up in your iPhone's default Music app. So, if you're expecting to have your tunes organized and ready to play directly in the Apple Music app, you're outta luck. You'll have to play your music through the OneDrive app or find a compatible music app that can import from OneDrive.

Another working solution is via nearby sharing,  a feature designed primarily for sharing files between Windows devices, but it does work for transferring files between a Windows laptop and an iPhone. 
 
How to transfer music from laptop to iPhone on Windows 11:

Next, find the files you want to transfer from PC to iPhone. Right-click on the file, select "Share," and then choose "Nearby Sharing."
 
A list of available devices will appear. Select your iPhone from the list to initiate the sharing process.
