How to move music from iPhone to PC

Then there is a more modern system that includes the reading of a CD or a cassette tape by car radios and Hi-Fi systems. Speaking of avant-garde, we find the MP3 player. There is an even more futuristic device that allows us to enjoy our favorite songs, in headphones and not.

We are talking about the iPhone, the famous smartphone from Apple. Like all other devices of this type, even iPhone allows us to transfer music to the computer.

In the following guide, we will find some useful information on how to move music from iPhone to PC. We follow the suggestions that are proposed to us, and we will be able to move our music in a simple and fast way.

Download and install iTunes

The best way to move music from iPhone to PC is to use a special software from Apple, or iTunes. This program helps the computer recognize an iPhone connected to it. Moreover, in this way it is possible to synchronize all the data contained in the iPhone by, be they music files, images or apps. In a nutshell, iTunes can play and organize all iPhone media files even on a PC.

Our mobile hosts it as a default app, while in the computer, we have to install it. Let’s start by downloading iTunes from the website https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. We will find the 32 and 64 bit version. Once the download is complete, double-click on the exe file and install iTunes. We will be able to start it automatically as soon as the setup process ends.

Transfer music with iTunes

Now that we have downloaded and installed iTunes, we can proceed with transferring music from iPhone to PC. Let’s start iTunes, if it doesn’t start automatically, by double-clicking on the appropriate icon. The main screen of the program will open, where we will find a menu full of options. To transfer music from iPhone to PC, we connect the smartphone to the computer via lightning cable (the one with which we recharge iPhone).

At this point, the Tunes will detect the device and ask us to synchronize it. We start this process keeping the iPhone connected. Now we will have to wait for the completion of the synchronization, after which we will be able to find all the music contained in the mobile in a folder named ” Music “, present in the iTunes library.

Download and install Sharepod

Another equally valid method for transferring music files from iPhone to PC is Sharepod. This handy software is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS. We find it in English, but it is really very simple to use. It allows us, like iTunes, to move music directly to a computer. We can even take files from the iPad using the same transfer procedure. To download Sharepod, let’s connect to the site https://getsharepod.com/.

At the end of the download, we will be able to start the installation of the program. Once the setup procedure is complete, we initialize Sharepod and connect iPhone to the PC, again via cable. At this point, from the main screen, we will be able to see the complete list of the music library contained in our iPhone. Let’s see how to transfer the music inside the computer.

Copy songs with Sharepod

To move music from iPhone to PC via Sharepod, we select the files that interest us. Now click on the ” Transfer ” button, located at the bottom of the dialog box. In doing so, we will open a drop-down menu. From here we can choose the transfer option we prefer.

The time required to transfer files depends on their size. Sharepod is faster than iTunes for this kind of operation. If we have little time available, this software is for us. If we prefer to have both, then so be it. The two applications do not conflict with each other, so we can rest assured in this sense.
