Help re: non-Apple Songs

[SR Steve]

I need some guidance here from the group. I’m looking for a way to transfer songs that I ripped from CDs and added to my iTunes library. The PC I used unfortunately was destroyed, along with the CDs and everything else I couldn’t wear or grab fleeing the Tubbs wildfire in the middle of the night. Those songs are still on my iPhone 6S which will shortly be wiped clean to present to a family member. I replaced my PC with an iPad Pro and would like to find a program/app which will allow me to capture those song files for use on my new iPhone X, and iPads. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Without a computer it isn't possible, at least in a sense that you would be able to, say, add them to a Dropbox account or something. Now with iCloud Music Library*, that could upload your entire library to iCloud and leave it accessible to other devices, in which case when you're able to obtain a computer later (if you decide to), you could redownload the entire library to your computer without having to repurchase or extract from your device.

HT204926, HT205919, and HT204406 should help you with this.

*Requires an Apple Music subscription

Thanks, I’ll give that a try. Do you know if the ripped songs will still be available to access on my other devices once I remove the data off of the 6S? In other words do the songs remain in the library as long as I keep my account up to date regardless of the origin of the data?

If you previously uploaded them to iCloud music library using iTunes Match or Apple Music, yes you can get them back.
