Q: Airdrop: Sending a mp3 file from mac to iphone6

Hi all,

 

I've been looking for a solution couple hours but still couldn't find a clear answer.

Is there anyone having a difficulty to share a mp3 file from mac to iphone? When I receive it on my iphone, it seems like it doesn't find a right app to open a file. My phone opens up one of my messenger app and ask me to send the mp3 to other through that app. I had no problem receiving a photo from mac to Iphone photo.

 

Is there any way I can directly open/save it on the itunes or designate an app to open with ?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), iOS 9.1

    No. The only way to get music into the Music app of the phone is to either synced it from a computer or purchase it/redownload/stream from iTunes store.

    An app like GoodReader can play and store mp3 files. When you send an mp3 to the phone you should get an option for which app to open it in.
