I've downloaded MP3 files from a USB stick to iTunes on my Windows 10 laptop. Now I want to listen to those MP3's on my iPhone; how do I do that?
Windows, Windows 6
I assume that you have added the music to your iTunes Library and that it plays correctly in the library. If you have used iTunes before and successfully used Sync to add music to your iPod, use the same procedure again.
If this is your first experience of iTunes and an iPhone, try this article: Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod with your computer – Apple Support
If it doesn't address the problem, let us know.

Yes, I added the music to my iTunes Library, created a Playlist, and it plays correctly in the iTunes Library. I just can't get it to load onto my iPhone. I normally only use iCloud to sync, so using iTunes is not normally how I do it. I received some important MP3 files I want to listen to on my iPhone, so I am trying to get them on my phone as well.
Thanks for your response, I will try the link.
Since you're using iCloud, that link may not provide you with the information you need.
I don't use iCloud, iTunes Match etc., so I'm not an expert on this subject, but presumably, you either have a subscription to Apple Music or to iTunes Match. As far as I can tell, you can Sync music from other sources (such as your MP3 files) by using the cloud, but first of all, they need to be uploaded to the cloud. Have you done that?
If you have not been able to upload your files to the cloud, is it because the files are too large (over 200MB), too long (over two hours), or are of too low quality (under 92Kbps)?
