How to Migrate Music from iPhone 11 Pro (Max) Back to Windows 10 Quickly

If you're an iPhone-loving Windows User, you may rely on iTunes to manage your media library, make purchases, add custom ringtones to your iPhone 11 Pro (Max), sync content to the device, but it has a few limitations, too. iTunes cannot get non-purchased music out of iPhone 11 to a Windows 10 machine—as Apple implement a security measure that prevents any unauthorized sharing of the file. This means the songs that were ripped from old CD collections, bought from a third-party website or app won't be transferred over.

There's still a solution, though. In this post, I'm going to talk about all the different ways you can try to transfer music from iPhone 11 Pro (Max) onto Windows 10 PC (or to iTunes library). I've broken down into three parts: instructions on transferring purchased items, instructions involved an iTunes alternative to add non-iTunes purchases at a time, and instructions of downloading music to the computer from subscribed Apple Music. Do yourself a favor and take any route meets your need.
