How to Copy MP3 to iPhone in The Most Convenient Way

Updated May 07,2018 | by Shannon

MP3 is a commonly used digital audio coding format. Many online audio resources are in MP3 formats, such as songs, audiobooks, lectures, podcasts, recordings, concerts, etc. As a music lover, I have tons of music files in MP3 format on my PC. If you have a large collection of wonderful MP3 songs on your computer too and want to transfer them to your iPhone, you may firstly think of iTunes. But some people have mentioned that when they transfer music from iTunes to iPhone, a warning comes up stating that all existing music will be erased on your iPhone. According to the feedback, iTunes is far more complicated to use for most users who are not familiar with it.

So in this situation, you need a third party tool to help transfer music from PC to iPhone without iTunes. This article will recommend two iTunes alternative tools for you to copy MP3 to iPhone in the most convenient way and make a comparison of their features.
