How to Add Bandcamp Music to Apple Music/iTunes (Bandcamp Downloader)

Part 1. How to Add Bandcamp Music to iTunes (Purchases)

If you've bought music from Bandcamp and want to keep it organized with your iTunes library on your computer, you're in luck! iTunes (or the Apple Music app on newer Macs) supports local files, including formats like MP3 and AAC.

Since Bandcamp music files need to be downloaded onto a computer first, direct downloads to an iPhone or direct uploads to Apple Music aren't possible. But once these files are on your computer, adding them to your Apple Music or iTunes library is easy - and from there, you can sync them with your iPhone.

Let's go through the steps to download your Bandcamp purchases and add them to iTunes.

Step 1Download Your Bandcamp Music in MP3 Format

Choose one of the following methods to download your Bandcamp purchase in MP3 (ideal for iTunes compatibility):

• Right after completing your purchase on Bandcamp, look for the download link and select MP3 from the format dropdown.



• Check your email for a purchase confirmation from Bandcamp, which will include a "Download your purchase" link. Use this to download your files.



• Go to your Collection page on Bandcamp's website or the Android app. Downloading to your computer is recommended if you're adding the files to iTunes.

Step 2Add Your Bandcamp Music to iTunes or the Music App

Once your Bandcamp tracks are downloaded, follow these steps to add them to iTunes or the Music app:

1. On Windows, open iTunes. On a Mac, open the Music app or iTunes if still installed.
2. Within the Music app or iTunes, import your Bandcamp files:
   • In iTunes: Go to File > Add File to Library (or Add Folder to Library for albums), then locate and select your downloaded Bandcamp files.
   • In Music App: Go to File > Import, find your Bandcamp files in Finder, and select them.
3. Your Bandcamp tracks will now appear under Recently Added in your library, ready to play offline.

Step 3Sync Your Bandcamp Music with iOS Devices

While Bandcamp files can't be directly downloaded to iPhone, you can sync them once they're added to iTunes or the Music app. Just use the Sync feature in iTunes or Finder (for macOS Catalina and later) to transfer your Bandcamp music to your iPhone or iPad.

Note: Apple's Finder-based sync system in macOS Catalina or newer sometimes requires multiple attempts to transfer all files successfully. If some tracks don't sync on the first try, disconnect and reconnect your device, then try again.

1. On Windows or Mac, open iTunes or the Music app.
2. Use a USB cable to connect your device to your computer.
3. In iTunes or Music app, select your device:
   • In Finder (macOS Catalina or newer): Select your device from the Locations sidebar.
   • In iTunes (Windows or older macOS): Click the device icon at the top-left of the window.
4. In iTunes or the Music app, go to the Music tab.



5. Check Sync Music onto [device].



6. Choose to sync Entire music library or Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. If selecting specific music, check the Bandcamp tracks you want to sync.
7. Click Apply to begin syncing the music to your device.

Once synced, your Bandcamp music will be available in the Music app on your iPhone or iPad, ready for offline playback.

Part 2. How to Sync Bandcamp Music to iTunes (Soundiiz)

If you want to sync your Bandcamp music to iTunes without manually downloading and adding files, Soundiiz is a great option. It can automatically match your Bandcamp tracks with their counterparts on iTunes or Apple Music, allowing you to enjoy your playlists across both platforms.

Note: Keep in mind that Soundiiz treats Apple Music and iTunes as separate services, so you'll need to choose which one you want to sync with depending on the devices you're using. You may also need a subscription to these services for the syncing process to run smoothly.

Here's how to sync your Bandcamp music to iTunes using Soundiiz:

1. Visit soundiiz.com and create an account or log in.
2. Connect your Bandcamp account to Soundiiz by clicking the "Connect" button. Then, link your iTunes or Apple Music account, depending on what you want to sync to.
3. Click on "Transfer", then choose Bandcamp as the source and iTunes or Apple Music as the destination.
4. Pick the playlists, albums, or tracks from Bandcamp that you want to sync to iTunes.
5. Click "Confirm", and Soundiiz will begin matching your Bandcamp music to iTunes. The transfer may take a few minutes.
6. Once the sync is complete, open iTunes (or the Music app on Mac), and you'll find your Bandcamp playlists under "Playlists" or "Recently Added".
