Many potential iPhone buyers are intimidated by the need to use the itunes program to download music to the device or the inability to use their mp3 collection. I hasten to debunk this myth, because you can download any music to the iphone, not just purchased from Apple Music, and for this you don't even need to connect the device to a computer. Music on iphone without itunes is available with third party players.
Of course, there is an opportunity to listen to various music online for free, but in this article we will talk specifically about downloading music for further listening without the Internet. So, in order to download your favorite music to the iphone, you will need a wifi connection to your home or work network or a high-speed Internet connection. Today there are 3 ways to download any music and one way to get free music legally from Apple itself.
Music from VKontakte to iphone
The first method is various players based on the VKontakte music collection. The Appstore usually has one or two such apps in the top of the free apps. They allow you to find and download tracks directly from the application for further listening without going to the Internet. The downside of these applications is that they are usually damp and buggy, they quickly fly out of the Appstore, and most importantly, you need to enter the login and password for your social network account, and then the question of security arises, since in this case you are not insured against theft of this data.
Download music from cloud storage to iphone
The second method is programs that can download audio files from cloud storage. The scheme is simple: you upload files with music to, say, DropBox, and then download them to your device in the player. This procedure can be done anywhere in the world - there would be an Internet. Authorization in cloud storage, as a rule, does not imply storing a username and password in the program, so your data will remain safe and your music will always be with you.
Download music to iphone via wifi
The third way is to download directly to the device via a wifi network. All that is needed for this is that the computer from which you want to download music and the iphone are connected to the same wifi network. The procedure is simple: the transfer mode is switched on in the player program. You are told the address that you need to drive into the browser on your computer. Now just drag the files into the browser window and they are transferred to your iphone.
There are a lot of free programs that implement the second and third methods in the AppStore. Among them are programs such as vlc or musicloud. There are also similar programs for listening to audiobooks, and the vlc program can also play videos.
And finally, a free way to get legal music on iTunes. This method has been known for a long time, but not many people use it. It's called podcasts! The fact is that many DJs and radio stations upload their mixes and radio broadcasts to podcasts for free and it is there that you can download and listen to them completely legally and completely free! The choice is quite large. The downside is that it is practically a radio, you cannot control playback, put the next track in the mix, etc. all songs in the podcast are one big track.
