To have a simpler and faster management of music on the iPhone and to be able to quickly transfer the songs stored on the PC into the memory of our Apple smartphone, there are several methods, not necessarily requiring the use of iTunes. With iTunes, the file transfer function is called synchronization .
By connecting the iPhone to the PC (via cable or wireless), you can synchronize the songs by going to the music section, so as to bring all those present in the phone.
You must then select which ones to transfer and then press the synchronization button, manually.
In the Summary menu you can use the option to manually load the music as you would any MP3 player, that is, by dragging them from the list of songs onto the iPhone icon.
However, automatic synchronization is not recommended.
To do this, go to the Edit menu, to preferences (or press the ALT key) and in the device or device section, activate the " Prevent iPod, iPhone and iPad from synchronizing automatically " option.
- From the Store tab, uncheck " Automatically download album art ".
- Connect the iPhone, select it and then scroll down and deselect the " Automatically sync when iPhone is connected " option.
- Click on his Music in the left pane and uncheck " Synchronize music ".
An easier iTunes program to transfer music to iPhone is MediaMonkey, free for Windows and Mac PCs.
In MediaMonkey you can see the iPhone connected to the PC in the main menu on the left.
On the " Auto-Sync " tab you can choose the songs, while in the Options you can choose how to import the music and how to manage the covers.
Once the PC's music folders have been imported into Mediamonkey, to sync the iPhone automatically, you can use the auto-sync function or just select the songs to be imported and right-click on it to see the Send to option.
