How to Transfer Music From iPhone to Android

In Windows, the process of transferring music from iPhone to Android is straightforward once your music is synced. Mac computers require a third-party app such as YouTube Music or Android File Transfer to sync music to your Android device.

Sync Music With iTunes in Windows

If you already have all the music from your iPhone synced to your iTunes Library on a Windows PC, you're halfway done.

Otherwise, sync your iPhone to iTunes to ensure that all the songs are in your iTunes Library. There are a couple of things to keep in mind if you plan to sync the music in your iPhone to your iTunes Library:

• Use an authorized computer, which is necessary to transfer all of your purchases from the iTunes Store to the computer.
• If some of your music was not purchased through the iTunes Store and is not linked to your Apple ID, you can use a third-party program to transfer music from your iPhone to a Windows computer.
