    No.

     

    Turning on Automatic Downloads for Music on your iPhone after the fact will do nothing, but you can download the music direct on your iPhone or enable Home Sharing with your computers at home and you can transfer the album from your iTunes library on the MBP to your iTunes library on the Mac Desktop.
