How to Upload Songs on Moises from iTunes: Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction: Want to Use Moises with Your iTunes Library? Here's How

If you're a musician or music enthusiast using Moises, chances are you've wanted to isolate vocals, slow down a song, or extract stems from your iTunes library. But here’s the catch—uploading music from iTunes to Moises isn’t as simple as clicking a button, especially if you're dealing with Apple’s ecosystem, file formats, or DRM protection.

So, how to upload songs on Moises from iTunes in 2025? Whether you’re on a Mac, Windows PC, or using an iPhone, this guide gives you a detailed walkthrough of every method, covering everything from audio file formats to Apple Music limitations. Let’s get into it.

Why Uploading Songs from iTunes to Moises Isn’t Always Straightforward

Before diving into the how-to, it’s important to understand why some iTunes songs won’t work with Moises right away:

• DRM protection: Songs from Apple Music (subscription-based streaming) are encrypted and can't be uploaded to Moises.

• Unsupported formats: Moises supports MP3, WAV, FLAC, and M4A, but iTunes sometimes uses M4P (protected AAC).

• File access: On iPhone, songs from the Music app aren’t stored in the Files app, where Moises pulls data from.

Understanding these limitations helps you work around them using the proper tools.

Method 1: Upload iTunes Songs to Moises via Desktop (Mac or Windows)

This is the most reliable method, especially if you're working with music files you own or have converted from iTunes.

Step 1: Locate Your iTunes Music Files

• Mac:
  /Users/YourName/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/

• Windows:
  C:\Users\YourName\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\

Make sure the song has been downloaded, not just stored in the cloud.

Step 2: Check the File Format

Moises supports:

• MP3

• WAV

• FLAC

• M4A

If the file is in .m4p format (DRM-protected), it won’t upload. You’ll need to convert it.

Step 3: Convert File Format if Necessary

• Open iTunes (or Apple Music app on Mac)

• Go to Preferences > General > Import Settings

• Choose MP3 Encoder

• Right-click the song and choose Create MP3 Version

Now you have a compatible file that works with Moises.

Step 4: Upload to Moises

1. Visit moises.ai

2. Log in or sign up

3. Click Upload Track

4. Select your song file

5. Choose your stem separation options (vocals, drums, bass, etc.)

6. Wait for processing to complete

Method 2: Upload iTunes Songs to Moises from iPhone (iOS Users)

iPhone users face more friction due to Apple’s file restrictions, but there’s still a workaround.

Step 1: Confirm Ownership and Downloaded Access

• Open the Apple Music app

• Find your purchased song

• Tap the three dots (…) and choose Download

Note: This only works for purchased music, not Apple Music streams.

Step 2: Move the Song into Files App

Apple doesn’t make this easy, but here are two options:

Option A: Use GarageBand

1. Open GarageBand

2. Create a new project and import your song

3. Export the track to Files as MP3 or WAV

4. Open Moises and upload the file from Files app

Option B: Use a Mac or PC to Transfer the File

1. Sync your iPhone with iTunes

2. Export the track in MP3 or WAV

3. Upload it to iCloud Drive or Google Drive

4. Access it from the Moises iOS app via cloud storage

Other Methods: Cloud Sync or Audio Editors

If you prefer not to deal with conversion, you can:

• Use Google Drive or Dropbox to sync files between devices

• Use a DAW like Ableton, Logic Pro, or Audacity to export your iTunes track as MP3, then upload it to Moises

• Rip your CDs to MP3/WAV and organize them outside of Apple Music for easy uploading
