Thanks Bob - Yes, they purchased from Apple.

Presumably that would mean me installing iTunes - then I'd still have to transfer the files from their iPhone to my PC ?

If you want/have to do it, you would need the iPhone users iTunes account credentials. It's better to have the iPhone user do it and pass you a CD.

With iTunes on the PC they'd simply re-download to the PC, then burn the CD.

Alternatively, they could connect the iPhone's headphone jack to the hall's PA system and play directly from the phone. I know a LOT of dance teachers and directors who do that.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The Client has an iPhone with this music, not a computer, so they do not know how to make a CD!

They have asked me to do this. Connecting an iPhone to the PA would not cut it, Kelly - these are just part of a whole program of performances for which I need to produce a single CD for the whole show, with the required music in the correct order.

I'll probably try one of the bought pieces of software - I found one called Lenogo, $20 or so, which says it can transfer music from iPhone to PC.

You need itunes & the account info, but there's a program on my Win 10 machine I did that with to get the songs off my son's ipod so we wouldn't have to assemble them all together again when I reformatted. It was free. I'll find the name later & post it.

CopyTrans is another option for $20.

I've used the CopyTrans Apps application to transfer apps between iPhones.

The music file exists on the HDD of the device the iPhone is synced to. You could just grab the file from there and convert it to PCM. You could use something like TeamViewer to access the client machine remotely for assistance.


Since is just one song, you could go the analog route, and use Vegas or Audacity to just record the song from the phone via an 1/8" to 1/8" headphone cable.

@ astar:

From above:

" The Client has an iPhone with this music, not a computer, so they do not know how to make a CD! "

As others have said all you need is this person's iTunes credentials. Then running iTunes on one of your computers you log into their account and use iTunes to burn a CD. It's not all that obvious how you burn a playlist to a CD in iTunes I'll admit, every time I've done it I've had to reference online help but I've managed to make it happen many times over that past few years.

Bob.

From the CopyTrans Manual Backup info page:

CopyTrans allows you to transfer individual iPhone songs or videos to your PC, an external drive or directly to iTunes. Just select the songs, videos or playlists to transfer, choose a destination and click “Start Backup”. It’s as easy as pie!

iTunes credentials is not needed.

I'm sure it's probably the same with the app Peter found.

Now a days, a PC/Mac isn't needed to sync music/videos. The iTunes Store app on the i[whatever] is used to download music/video directly to the device.

I used to download my podcasts to the PC then sync using iTunes. Not anymore, I download it directly to my iPad or iPhone.

Thanks a lot guys - lots of choices for when the client comes over next week.

Cheers

Peter

The old school way. Just plug the output into any recorder and record in real time, then you can do whatever you want with it.

Yes deusx that would be my fall back position, but that would mean real time recording and there are maybe seven or eight pieces, so transferring digitally will hopefully save time.
