I burned CDs and loaded them onto a portable storage unit connected to my Windows 10 PC. They were in an iTunes folder. The music appears on my IPhone ITunes app, however they no longer appear on my iTunes app on my Windows PC, and the ITunes folder on the portable storage unit no longer contains the burned music. Is it possible to download this music back onto my computer from my iTunes iPhone app?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18
Burning is the act of copying data to an optical drive. Copying from CDs is called ripping. If you've installed Apple Music (or TV or Devices) then iTunes will only display audiobooks and podcasts. If you remove those apps iTunes should again show your local music content. Typically installing Apple Music adds the existing music collection into the Apple Music library, but there are perhaps circumstances where that doesn't happen. Have you looked with the old iTunes Media folder to see if the content you are looking for exists there?
If you need to reclaim media from your iPhone see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community. The easiest method may be a temporary subscription to the Apple Music service, merging the music on the device into an iCloud Music Library which you then download to a computer and backup for security.
