If your iPhone's storage is full of mp3 files, you should consider backing up to your home PC or Mac. We'll show you how to back up your mp3 files from your iPhone to your computer.

Transferring MP3 files from an iPhone to a computer is needed in many situations, such as:

• Free up more space for your iPhone or iPad

Whatever your purpose of doing so, you can do this by using iTunes or EaseUS MobiMover. In this guide, we will show you the steps in detail.

Download MP3 from iPhone to Computer via iTunes

iTunes should be your first option to transfer files from a computer to an iPhone or vice versa. But before you proceed, there is one thing that is worthy of attention - iTunes only supports transferring purchased songs, and the songs you transfer to the computer can't be opened. 

To download MP3 files from iPhone to computer via iTunes:

Step 1. Download and launch the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

Step 2. Connect your iPhone to the computer.

Step 3. In the upper left corner of your iTunes window, click on "File" > "Device" > "Transfer Purchases from..."

Step 4. If required, you'll need to authorize your computer by going to the "Accounts" > "Authorization," and then choose to authorize the computer.

Step 5. Wait for the transfer process to complete.

Step 6. Then, click "Recently Added" from the left side of the iTunes window,

Step 7. Choose the purchased music that you want to download and click on the "Download" button.
