Legal music acquisition these days seems to be all about subscription services like Apple Music or Spotify, but there are still plenty of reasons to have lots of MP3 or AAC files lying around on your hard drive. Maybe you downloaded them from Bandcamp. Maybe you own CDs and ripped them yourself. Maybe you converted some old bootleg recording. Maybe they “fell off the truck.”
Whatever reason you have an MP3 or AAC audio file you want to listen to on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll have to first transfer it there. Here’s how you do it.
A Mac or PC with the MP3 or AAC file and the latest version of iTunes installed. A USB lightning cable to connect to your iPhone or iPad, or an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription. So lucky you, in this very tutorial we’ll demonstrate how to transfer music from computer to iPad without iTunes + you’ll learn how to bypass the format barrier and play back any music or video file extensions ever created on your iPhone or iPad. Watch a quick preview in the video below!

Adding the file(s) to your iTunes library
Before you add the MP3 or AAC file to your iOS device, you’ll have to add it to your iTunes music library. Fortunately, that’s incredibly easy.
1. Launch iTunes.
2. Go to the Music section (in the upper left) and then select Library (up top).
3. Drag and drop the MP3 or AAC files you want to sync from Finder (or Explorer in Windows) into your music library.
That’s it! You should see the music in all your iTunes music lists: Artists, Albums, Songs, and Genres. You can now play those tracks in iTunes on computer.
Syncing the music to your iPhone or iPad
The easiest way to move the music to your iOS devices is to use your iCloud Music Library. If you have Apple Music or iTunes Match, you can store 100,000 of your own songs in the cloud, and access them from any device that is logged in to that same Apple ID.
1. Make sure iCloud Music Library is enabled. Open the Preferences menu: It’s on the menu bar under iTunes on a Mac or Edit on a PC.
2. In the General tab, make sure iCloud Music Library is enabled for your Apple ID.
3. Right-click (or Control-click) on the track you want to upload. If you’re uploading multiple tracks, select them all first, then right-click.
4. Select Add to iCloud Music Library.
On many occasions, the recaptured Charriere was sent into solitary confinement and only survived thanks to his incredible mental strength. Charriere spent years trying to escape from this mosquito-ridden, malaria-prone hellhole, but every attempt somehow went awry. The true story of Henri Charriere (nicknamed 'Papillon' because of his butterfly tattooed chest), a Frenchman falsely accused of murder and sent to French Guiana's inescapable penal colony. 
That’s all you have to do. Now, when you open the Music app on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll find the tracks you uploaded in your Library.
If you don’t have Apple Music or iTunes Match, you can still move the tracks to your phone’s storage via USB.
1. Plug your iOS device into your Mac or PC with the USB cable, and open iTunes. If necessary, enter your passcode to allow iTunes to access your iPhone or iPad.
2. Select your iPhone from the small icon in the upper left.
3. From your iPhone screen, select Music on the left, then make sure the Sync Music checkbox is checked. You can choose to sync all your music, or just selected playlists, artists, albums, or genres.
4. Click Apply in the lower right to sync your music.

Great App, minor issues
Download Mp3 Files On My Ipad
So I just have the free version, and it did what I want: move a couple of my own files onto my iPhone AND let me listen to them. All the usual headphone/button bits work just fine.
It did double-list the files, so that three appear to be six, and it can be finicky about any stoppage other than its own stop button. But it's not ill-behaved (it doesn't clog up the works after a messy stop), and I just wanted an app I could download, use, and live with.
Ads started showing after a while, but what do you want? It's free and fully functional.
If I should need to do more of this (let's hope), I would not hesitate to buy the paid version, which is not expensive.
Nice App, But..(👍 this if you agree so it can be seen)
Two things:
1.)Allow users to convert MP4/videos they already have on their phone into mp3s to use with the app.(that way users can download their songs in video format and convert them from their phone instead of using a computer)
2.) Please update this app! It no longer works with the latest IOS update!!
Works fine
I downloaded this so I could listen to some lesson files that were saved as mp3s. I quickly realized that files don't always have the metadata right, but you can use iTunes to do that. The one thing that bugged me is that the way to delete files (swiping left so as to reveal the word Delete) was not at all obvious.
