Music "sync" without using Apple Music subscription or losing current music

I have a new iMac. I have an iPhone X. I have music on my phone that is from an old computer I no longer have. I have recently purchased some songs (not from iTunes) and gotten them into the music app on my new computer. How can I get these songs from my computer onto my phone without deleting all my songs? When I go to "sync" it says it will erase all the songs from my previous computer because I cannot sync to two computers at one time. "Sync" implies the two devices will be synchronized. Having the computer with 8 songs override my phone with 100s is asynchronous. It should make them match; adding music from both devices until they mirror each other. How can I make this happen?

Hey there, bmn.

We understand that you're trying to get your newly purchased music from your Mac on to your iPhone.

You can simply download the purchased items directly on to your iPhone with these steps.

Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books

There may be third-party software available that can help you import the music from your iPhone to your Mac. If the music on your iPhone was purchased from the iTunes store, then you can use the above steps to download the purcahses.

Take care.

Hi,

I did not purchase the music from Apple or iTunes. They are hypnosis tracks that I would like to be able to listen to on my phone. I purchased from a website, they were sent by email and I put them into my music on my computer hoping to get them into my phone. I cannot RE-download them from the App Store or iTunes.
