How to download music to iPhone without a computer
Licensed digital content for iOS devices is distributed through the iTunes Store, which makes it difficult for iPhone and iPad users to download music or video from any other third-party site. Fortunately, there are several ways to download music to iPhone without a computer at once - we will talk about them in this short article.
Ways to download music
There are 2 most simple methods for downloading music to iPhone from any unofficial resource - we will devote a separate section of the article to each of them.
Via UC Browser
Using the standard Safari browser, the user can listen to music on any site he likes, but he will not be able to download the track to the device. There were no indications that Apple would decide to add such a feature to its browser.
A worthy replacement for a standard browser is the UC Browser browser, with which you can quickly download any listened musical composition to your smartphone. To do this, perform the following sequence of actions:
- Go to the browser page in the App Store and install it on your device.
- Open a browser, go to a site with music (absolutely any), start playback. The browser will play the track using its own player.
- Click on the "Watch Offline" button in the player to start downloading the track. When the download bar reaches the end, the piece of music will be stored in the device's memory.

Ask Daria To access the downloaded track, you need to go to "Downloads" and select the "Music" section. There are no download restrictions.
There are several disadvantages of this method:
- All downloaded tracks UC Browser refers to as "Untitled". If you plan to download a large number of songs, you will have to constantly rename them manually.
- Downloaded tracks are not available for listening through the standard Music application.
- Tracks loaded in this way will not be played in order, it is impossible to build a playlist from them.

Via File Master
File Master is one of the most popular file managers for iOS devices. The program allows you to download music to your device without connecting to a computer. The key advantage of the application is that it is freely distributed through the official App Store and does not require a jailbreak to work correctly.
To download music to iPhone using File Master, follow these steps:
- Download and install the application - you can find it at this link.
- Open the file manager and go to the "Browser" tab.
- Insert a link to the site where the track of interest is located in the address bar.
- Find a suitable song and click on the "Download" button located under its name.
- Rename the downloaded track to the desired name, click on "Confirm".
- Go to the "Download" folder to find the downloaded song.
The downloaded song cannot be transferred to the directory of the standard music application "Music", but it can be sent to a folder with the appropriate name to simplify the search - to do this, you need to hold your finger on the track, select the "Cut" item, go to the desired folder and tap on the "Insert" button ".
As you can see, the instructions for using the file manager in our situation are almost identical to the instructions for working with the browser, which cannot be said about the functionality - File Master provides the user with a much wider horizon of possibilities.
