Need to Share iTunes Playlist to Another Phone but Can't — Please Help...

Hello,


I can't share a playlist, any playlist from iTunes. I want to share a CD I digitized onto the iMac then dragged the playlist onto my iPhone connected to it. I couldn't drag and drop the playlist onto my friends phone. Now, I just want to see if I can share it with her iPhone to iPhone.


Thanks,

Mack

Hey Mack,


We're glad you thought to ask Apple Support Communities about sharing a playlist in the Music app. Use these steps to share a playlist:


  1. Open the Apple Music app on your mobile device (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad)
  2. Tap "Playlists" in the "Library" tab.
  3. Scroll to find the playlist you wish to share, and tap to open it.
  4. Tap the three-dots at the top of the playlist page to open a pop-up menu, and tap "Share Playlist..."


More information can be found in the following guide, just in case: How to make a playlist in the Apple Music app


Thanks, and take care.

Tammy,


I tried this and it didn't work. Turns out digitized m4a files from a CD are considered "downloaded" by iTunes, making the songs unshareable. I was able to get the songs onto my phone by dragging and dropping in iTunes with the iPhone connected to the iMac. But I couldn't do the same for my friends phone. So I texted each song individually and she placed it in iTunes one at a time.


Best,

Mack
