Hi, haven’t posted here in a while.

I don’t have Apple Music and I stream free from Pandora/iHeart. I do have a large collection of music files on the computer from the last 10-15 years that were imported from CDs over the years.

My son recently just got his first phone. I’d like to have him play the downloaded music rather than stream it.

I can’t figure out how to do this, but I’d like to share my playlists - or at least the music - so he can have the AAC/MP3 files on his phone to listen at his leisure. Can it be done? I own the CDs, I imported them…

Only way I could figure is to sync his iPhone to my computer also, and then recreate the bands he likes and import them that way. Am I overthinking?
