I believe many of you want to know how to add music to iMovie without iTunes. By utilizing iCareFone (developed by Tenorshare), you can import music directly from PC to your iPhone or iPad. It’s a great tool to manage music, videos, apps, etc. without iTunes restriction, and add DRM protected music to iMovie project on iPhone (or iPad).

2. In the next screen, select “Import” from the menu bar. You can then import music files on your computer to iPhone or iPad.
3. From iMovie app, tap “+” to open the iMovie project that you want to add music or audio to. You can also select a theme for your movie.
4. Select the video on the timeline, go to the “Audio” tap at the bottom, and move the slider to the leftmost side to mute the original audio. Now, you can tap on the media icon to add your own music to the video.
5. In the Import Media screen, switch to the “Audio” tap. The music you imported in step 2 should be here. Select one of the audio files in Theme Music, Sound Effects, or your iTunes library.
If you’re satisfied with your movie, you can export to your camera roll, and then it will be available to be uploaded to YouTube, or sent to friends and family via SMS or e-mail.
| The music is DRM protected. Can’t be used in iMovie. |
Apple adds a DRM (digital rights management) layer to its streaming music collection to protect it from burning onto a disk, using in separate video projects or putting on other devices that aren't signed to your Apple Music account.
If you have moved from purchasing music via iTunes to streaming music via Apple Music, Spotify or another streaming service, you may encounter DRM restrictions that prevent you from adding a song to your iMovie project. Check the post How to Remove DRM Protection and Convert Video/Audio to Plain Files, you will know how to be free from DRM restrictions.
