Why you should import music from YouTube to iPhone

There are many reasons why you need to import music from YouTube to your iPhone. First of all, YouTube is a great platform for finding and listening to music. However, it is not an ideal solution if you plan to listen to music frequently as it requires an internet connection.

Therefore, importing music from YouTube to iPhone is essential if you want to enjoy your favorite songs without limits.

Another reason to import music from YouTube to iPhone is that it helps you organize your music library. Having all your music in one place makes it easier to find and listen to. With music imported from YouTube, you can create playlists, shuffle songs, and even create smart playlists, which is not possible with exclusive music from YouTube.
