This article explains how to add music to an iPhone using Apple Music, YouTube Music, and an iCloud Drive. Instructions apply to iOS 10.0 and up, and macOS 10.10 and up. Apple Music offers millions of tracks that can be streamed over a wireless network, but you can also save those tracks (or playlists, albums, or videos) to your iPhone to enjoy offline. To enable this feature, turn on Library Syncing for your Apple ID. Go to Settings > Music, then turn on Sync Library.
If you want all the songs you add from Apple Music to download to your iPhone automatically, go to Settings > Music and turn on Automatic Downloads.
If you're a YouTube Music Premium member, enjoy music offline by downloading your favorite songs, playlists, or albums to your iPhone.
If you have your music collection on your Mac and/or an external hard drive and are comfortable manually managing your songs, use iCloud Drive to add tracks to your iPhone.
iCloud's terms explicitly prohibit the uploading of content for which you don't have the express permission to copy or share. Saving music you don't have the correct rights to upload, even for personal listening, could lead to your iCloud account being suspended.
