Expert Answer

If you already have downloaded music, you should be able to use a flash drive with a lightning port to transfer them over.

Question

Can I transfer music from my PlayStation 3 to my iPhone 5?

Community Answer

Try putting a USB into the PS3 and copying the files you want onto the USB. Insert it into your computer, plug your phone into the computer, and exchange any files you need.

Question

Can I use Google Drive to download music onto my iPhone?

Community Answer

Yes. You can tap on the music in your Drive using the Drive app, and it has the option to “make available offline.” You need to do this for each song, however.

Question

Are there fees to use Spotify?

Community Answer

Yes, Spotify Premium is a paid service and payment is required to be able to actually sync your music to your phone so that you can play it without an internet connection. You can use the Spotify Free service without paying, however, but you will have limited mobile access.

Question

Is there a way to download music directly to my music app on my iPhone without having to use a computer?

Community Answer

A way that I've found that works is using Spotify. Simply download the app, then search for the song you want. You can then add it to your library and/or playlist. Despite the fact that Spotify has many songs to choose from, not all may be available.
