I'm a professional computer programmer, my girlfriend made me a nice playlist for a road trip, and I'm now 45 minutes into a journey called "try to get this folder of music onto my iphone. So far I've had to use 10 separate pieces of Apple software, and lost half my saved music.

Unlike Apple, with Android this is really easy with Play Music. Consequently, Play Music is deprecated and you're supposed to use YouTube Music, though I'm not sure YouTube Music actually has this functionality.

If it's an actual 'folder of music' rather than playlist on Apple music, then I recommend copy with Airdrop and use Golden Ear to play it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/golden-ear/id407945101 … Airdrop is super fast.

I am still getting over "the way to get a huge media file from my phone to my laptop, which are 3 inches apart, is to upload it to a datacenter in California (or, really, to several datacenters across the globe simultaneously, because, google) and then back down to the laptop.
