    I used a programme called idump to transfer my music from an iPod to my PC and then then used iTunes to put the music on another device.

    Can you turn on the sharing facility in iTunes?

    Surely all that will do will allow the content of the iTunes library to be shared? Not the content on the iPhone?

    Perhaps I didn't explain it properly.

    In short, if the OP actually wants to physically copy the music, and they didn't purchase it through the iTunes Store, and they don't have it in the cloud with an Apple Music account, the solution is third-party software .... ?

    With Android you phone is also a backup of your music. With iThings you must keep a separate backup on disk. I always want a backup to exist outside of iTunes so am prevented from using iTunes to buy music, especially on the fly while traveling. Better to use Amazon where you can do what you like with MP3s you can download and sync and even get a free physical CD with sleeve notes. Apple prevents direct downloads from Amazon to iThings so buying music while traveling with iPhone and without a PC is near impossible.

    It's quite annoying while you getting a new iPhone but don't know how to transfer the songs from the old iPhone to it. Due to the copyright issues, it's impossible to transfer music from iPhone to iPhone directly. Fortunately, there is a tool specially designed to copy music from iPhone to iPhone – Phone Transfer, which enables you to transfer music from iPhone to iPhone without a hitch. You can transfer all your music from an iPhone to another with a simple click.:j

    You're meant to have all your music in iTunes, from where you can sync all or some of it to your iDevices. You're stuck with music on an iDevice, but not your computer. Have a search for yamipod which is software which can certainly sort out iPods, I've never had to try it on iPhones.
