Transferring songs from iPhone to Library

[blunomore]

How do you transfer music from your iPhone to your Library on your PC?

Am trying the AnyTrans software program but it seems the process is stuck because it keeps saying transfer in progress but nothing is happening.

You don't wish to use iTunes?

It is songs I got from iTunes.

I want to put them on my PC in order to get them onto my iPod.

Do you have iTunes (the application) on your PC?

Connect by cable to PC, you wll see iPhone name in the file manager (Windows Explorer).
Copy/paste.
You don't need iTunes or CopyTrans, whatever.

In my experience this is only useful for photos, not music.

I didn't read it, sorry.
In such case iTools do the job easily. Had corruped index -missing thousand of pictures, iTools copied all files, bypassing corrupted index. It will do music as well.

Use MediaMonkey

The problem with some of these third-party apps is that you still need iTunes on the same machine, or you need to hack something. In that case I rather use iTunes, as cumbersome as it is.

Thanks, I've tried the programs I already had which weren't working on 9.3, iTools does, as I don't sync my music with iTunes I was struggling to get my music off my 6s before restoring back to 9.2.1.

You can't transfer music FROM an iPhone/iPod to iTunes.

Only the other way round.

iTunes will copy to an iPod, but didn't in the past allow the other way round. Normally another application is needed that can read the files and database on the iPod.

Agreed, I can copy any of my music from my hard drive to my iPhone, I cannot copy that same music back, and if I do try to click the sync button on the music tab of iTunes it will ask to confirm that I want to delete all music on the iPhone to sync to iTunes. I have a lot more music on my PC than on my iPhone so don't it to sync everything. I much prefer to manually copy albums to the iPhone or even just parts of albums.

An alternative manager is far better to manage music with.

The way I got around that is to install itunes, run it once, then uninstall it (something about it leaving drivers on the system). Install mediamonkey (that needs iTunes installed to run, but because of the drivers left on the system it can run) and that works great you can sync to and from the iPhone/iPod.

Sajunky's suggestion of iTools works perfectly, no need to delete iTunes either.
