I want to export my music library from my(not in use) iPhoneSE2020 to my new Mac book Pro. Most of my music was lost when my old Mac book crashed and I remembered I had most on my phone. Can anyone help?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

You can't do that.

You can re-download music purchased from iTunes at no charge using the same ID used to purchase it. Anything ripped from CD's, will have to be re-ripped. If you no longer own the original CDs, you no longer own a license to use the music on your devices.


The phone is not a backup or data transfer device.
