How to put music on iPhone without iTunes. AirDrop, iCloud Drive or Files
To put music on iPhone without iTunes, send the files with AirDrop from a Mac or upload them to iCloud Drive from any computer. Then import them into VibeDeck Player from the Files app and play them offline. MP3, FLAC and WAV work, with no conversion.
Syncing music through iTunes or Finder means cables, libraries and conversions. If you already have the files, there is a shorter way: move them like any other file and open them in a player that reads them directly.
