Sharing songs across devices

Anytune plays songs directly from your device's Music Library and plays audio files that have been imported directly into Anytune through Files Picker/Open-In, Dropbox, WiFi and Email.

Apple provides two ways to sync your Music Library across your devices.

1. Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music
2. Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer (USB, WiFi)

Songs Imported directly into Anytune are either saved to "Device" or "iCloud Drive"
determined by the Anytune Setting >  "Save imported media to:"

• Audio files saved to "Device" must be manually Exported from the source device and Imported to the target. These songs are not shared across devices.
• Audio files saved to "iCloud Drive" are automatically synced across your iCloud enabled devices and use iCloud storage. 

Apple has a process to Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device. See Transfer (restore) song data to a new device.

See also  Adding music and Sharing song data (configs) for the related details.

Your song files must be physically on your device (downloaded) and not DRM protected. 

When you import a song directly into Anytune (Open-In, Record, ...) the audio file is NOT stored in your device's music library.

Songs imported to Anytune and saved to Device, are saved with Anytune in your system backup, but it always a good idea to have more than one location for important files.

Make a backup of your device using iCloud or iTunes.

On source device: 

1. Play (load) the song you want to export
2. Tap the sharing button
   Reveal the Share button on the iPhone by tapping Menu Button .

On target device: 

1. Go to the Tunes Category .
2. Tap the green plus "+" button to reveal the Add menu.

Mac

You can add songs to Anytune Mac by copying the audio file into Anytune or by referencing the file that exists on your Mac's filesystem. This behaviour can be changed in:

Anytune > Preferences > Advanced.

Songs that have been copied directly into Anytune on Mac are saved in a folder (container) on your Mac. This folder is not shared across devices.

To access the song:

1. Right-Click on the song > Choose Get Info

If the song has been copied into Anytune you can
Export Original Song...
to a shared location like iCloud or Dropbox, or into your iTunes library.

If the song is a reference you can use "Show in Finder" to find the file Anytune is using. Copy this file to a shared location like iCloud or Dropbox, or into your iTunes library.

Sharing Playlists

Anytune playlists (See Playlists and folders) can include songs imported directly into Anytune AND songs played from your iTunes or iCloud Music Library. Anytune playlist definitions are part of Anytune's Config and can be shared across your devices using iCloud. See Sharing song data (configs).

You can restore a playlist definition from one device to another if the songs in the playlist are available to Anytune. The songs must be in your device's music library or imported directly into Anytune.
