USB drive to iPhone help

[AndyC]

Techno question guys and gals, I’ve got about 150 albums ripped to a flash drive that I take with me when driving to plug into the cars USB port...
Is there a way to transfer them onto my iPhone so I can listen via Bluetooth when walking/on the train etc ?

Would it have been possible on a non Apple phone?

Are they MP3? There seems to be a lot of solutions online to transfer mp3 to Iphone.

 

[PhilM]

If they're MP3, then use iTunes to import them onto the device and they'll automatically be converted to AAC which is the correct format for iTunes on the phone.

Will check, thanks

It's literally as simple as Open iTunes > File > Add to Library. If you then connect the device and sync it, all the media in the library will upload.

ive got a mate who does this for a living, inbox me your paypal and / or bank account details and I will get the info to you...

ITunes is the only legitimate option that Apple will support that is and as other's above have mentioned it's pretty easy. Plug the flash drive in your pc or laptop (after you have installed iTunes that is) and you can import them into iTunes. This way you can copy them over to your iPhone from there. Obviously you have to plug your iPhone in also to sync with itunes

You can get flash drive to iPhone converters, admittedly I’ve never used mine, but assume you would just be able to plug the drive into your iPhone and move the files across that way?

Good call

I do know with these that the music has to be compatible or you have to find an app from their store to play them. Also i know a few people who say that some flash drives don't work even with the adapter.

Something for him to look into before he buys one i guess.

Although they do make flash drives for IOS systems now that plug directly in

Yeah mate, just connect your phone to your PC then drag & drop the files via iTunes. Obviously make sure you've got enough space before adding in bulk like

Easy.

Just get an Android phone and you can do any of this, plug an play with a PC, even playing high fidelity wav or FLAC files.

Thing is, with an Android you own it. With an Apple you effectively hire it, they control what you can do with it, and they choose when to slow your phone down and kill your battery so you buy another
