Dedoimedo: Copy local music to iPhone with VLC and without iTunes

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Why don't you use the iPhone, people sometimes ask me. Two main problems, I tells them. One, being able to use an adblocker in Safari. Two, being able to copy my local music, my MP3 files onto the iPhone without using the iTunes application. For almost ten years or so, give or take, this has been an outstanding pair of problems for me, especially the latter. Now, I am pleased to say I have solved it. And I'd like to share my story as a tutorial.

Recently, I had a chance to test the iPhone 13 Mini. Turned out to be a pretty solid device. I also discovered that you can use content and adblockers for Safari. For example, Firefox Focus and Adblock Plus (ABP) are both available as Safari extensions. Awesome, check. More importantly, I have finally figured how to copy music onto the phone without using iTunes. Let us proceed.

Dedoimedo has been a super reliable poster going back a long time on Wilders. His own blog is legendary. I need my 24 bit Flac on my phone and on my nas box. I never wanted to ever deal with Itunes tbh so this is awesome.
