Q: Sharing iTunes in Apple Music offline/in airplane mode

Hi,

 

I apologize in advance if I get some of the terminology incorrect In my question.

 

I would like to know if it's possible for me to somehow share my iTunes library with Apple Music and have it available offline? As you find songs in Apple Music, click the + symbol, then the download cloud button, and boom, you got the song available offline/airplane mode.

 

OK. Is it possible to also do that with my iTunes library? I don't know what the cloud is called in Apple Music, but can I add my songs to that?

 

I Have about 40GB of songs in my iTunes and thats way more than I have free space on my 6+. I have an older iPod, but it'd be great to use just my phone and Apple Music for the stuff I already own and the benefits of stuff I don't own via Apple Music.

 

I had a paid version of Spotify for one month, but I believe you can do this on Spotify by creating a playlist and importing songs from your desktop. Not sure the GB limit though. Anyway, any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Ive Googled the heck out of this but can't seem to find an answer.

 

Thanks!

    Hello geoffreymjohnson81,

     

    Yes, it is possible to add your own music collection to Apple Music so it is available in the cloud for downloading to all your devices.

     

    For details, see: Add music from your own collection to your Apple Music library - Apple Support

    With your Apple Music membership, your existing music collection is available on all of your devices.

    When you first join Apple Music, we identify the songs in your personal music collection and compare them to the Apple Music catalog. If we have your songs in our catalog, we make them instantly available to access on all of your devices during your membership. Songs that we can’t identify can be uploaded with iTunes into iCloud for listening on all your devices.

    Songs that you bought from the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID that you use for Apple Music are always available on all of your devices.

    Enjoy.
