How to Enable iCloud Music Library on iPhone

 

 

We don’t always listen to music on a single device. Depending on what we’re doing, we often switch between our smartphones, tablets, computers and even smart speakers. This is why popular music streaming services offer apps on a variety of different devices. If you’re an iPhone or iPad user, there’s a pretty good chance you utilize Apple Music to listen to all your favorite songs while you’re on the go.

In addition to streaming music that’s available on the platform, Apple Music unlocks a nifty feature called iCloud Music Library, which as the name suggests, allows you to sync your music across all your supported Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and iTunes on Windows.


Are you an Apple Music subscriber who’s interested in taking advantage of this functionality? Then read on. In this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can enable iCloud Music Library on your iPhone or iPad.

That’s pretty much all you need to do in order to start taking advantage of iCloud Music Library.

Your purchased music and the content you add from Apple Music will automatically be synced across other devices with the help of Apple’s iCloud service.

In addition to this, the songs that you import to iTunes on your PC or Mac will also be available on your iPhone, iPad and other supported devices. This means, you don’t have to manually transfer your local music files to your iPhone or iPad by syncing it with iTunes.

Although you need an Apple Music subscription to take full advantage of iCloud Music Library, you’re not completely out of luck if you haven’t subscribed to the service. If you’re looking to sync music content on your PC or Mac across your iPhone, iPad or HomePod, you could pay a yearly fee to get access to iTunes Match, which lets you store up to 100,000 songs on iCloud. However, it’s worth noting that you won’t be able to stream Apple Music content with iTunes Match.

The ability to store music on the cloud and accessing it from whatever Apple device you own is extremely useful, as it eliminates the need to manually transfer your songs to other devices. It saves plenty of time and brings a lot of convenience to the table. Remember the time when we had to connect our iPhones to computers using a USB cable to sync content with iTunes? Well, that’s no longer necessary with this feature, and for many users they certainly don’t want to go back to doing hardware syncs again.
