Of course, it's trivial to transfer the non-DRM music.
How do I get this iTunes song on an Android device?. Can I play DRM music from iTunes on my Android?. Similar questions have been asked before, but are all out of date (3-6 years old).: If iCloud is the only option, I will probably cave and do this, but only if it will work with all my songs (from iTunes-DRM, iTunes-non-DRM, non-iTunes), and if I don't have to pay to store my songs on iCloud (again, I don't need to be able to access them from anywhere, just my computer and a single Android phone). However, I would like to avoid having to upload all my music to the iCloud Music Library (don't want to have to deal with that when I really just want to offload music straight from my computer to my device using a USB cord).Ĭan I transfer songs from my computer (Mac) to an Android phone that has Apple Music (or maybe some other software?) using a wired connection, without having to upload everything to iCloud? If so, will this work even for iTunes-DRM-laced songs? Turn on iCloud Music Library and wait for iTunes to finish updating your library.Īny music that you add to iTunes after you turn on iCloud Music Library will be available in Apple Music on your Android phone. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID that you use on your Android phone for Apple Music. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes. To add music that you imported from CDs, or bought from the iTunes Store or other sources, use iTunes on a Mac or PC. Now that Apple Music is available for iPhone, I was thinking it might be possible to access all my music on an Android phone-but I can't figure out conclusively if this will work.
However, my biggest hangup is still being able to store all my music on my device. Recently I have become disillusioned with iPhones and am considering switching to one of the new Google Pixel phones.
I use an iPhone as my phone almost exclusively for this reason (to use DRM-laced songs). While the songs I've downloaded in the last several years are all DRM free (either downloaded for free or on iTunes post-DRM), I have many songs from the iTunes-DRM era. I have a significant music collection on my computer, which I am still frequently adding to.
