I moved music I had bought housed on my old Mac to my iPhone and succession of iPods. My old Mac died and went to Apple heaven along with its backup drive. I now want to retrieve my songs from my phone and pods back to my new Mac. Do I need to purchase 3rd Party non-Apple software to do so?
iPhone SE, iOS 26
A 3rd party app would be the way to do it as the Music app on the Mac cannot import the music from an iPhone or iPod. There are several apps you could choose from; iMazing , which I use for other purposes, is one of them: Transfer music from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.
