What you need
In order to play music from your iPhone to your Macbook, you will need:
-An iPhone with a Lightning connector
-A Macbook with a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) or USB-A port1
-An Apple Lightning to USB Cable
To play music from your iPhone to your Macbook, follow these steps:
1. Connect your iPhone to your Macbook using the Apple Lightning to USB Cable.
2. On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
3. Tap Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth.
4. On your Macbook, open the Music app.
5. In the Music app, click the Devices button in the upper-left corner of the window.
6. Click your iPhone in the list of devices.

Connecting your devices
In order to play music from your iPhone on your Macbook, you will need to connect the two devices together. One way to do this is by using a cable such as a Lightning cable or a 30-pin cable. Another way to connect the devices is by using Bluetooth. If you have an Apple TV, you can also connect your devices wirelessly using AirPlay.
Set up audio
Assuming you want to play music from iTunes on your iPhone to your MacBook, you’ll need to set up audio streaming. To do this, open the Control Center on your iPhone by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Tap the “AirPlay” icon, then tap the name of your MacBook under “Devices.” If you don’t see your MacBook’s name, make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. You should now see the audio control panel appear on your MacBook’s screen; from here, you can adjust the volume and choose which speakers to play the music through.
Play music
You can play music from your iPhone on your MacBook by connecting the two devices using a standard 3.5mm audio cable. Once you have done this, you will be able to play music from your iTunes Library or any other audio app on your iPhone.
If you want to listen to music from your iPhone on your MacBook without using a cable, you can use Apple’s AirPlay technology to wirelessly stream audio from your iPhone to your MacBook. To do this, you will need to have an AirPlay-compatible audio system connected to your MacBook (such as the Airport Express or Apple TV) and make sure that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Connect additional devices
If you have more than one Audio source, for example an iPhone and a Macbook, you can connect them both to your speaker system and play music from both devices at the same time.
To do this, simply connect each device to a separate input on your Speaker system. For example, if your speaker system has a 3.5mm input and a USB input, you can connect your iPhone to the 3.5mm input using a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter, and connect your Macbook to the USB input using a USB cable.
Once both devices are connected, simply select the input on your Speaker system that you want to play music from, and start playing music from your iPhone or Macbook as usual.
Use AirPlay
The easiest way to play music from your iPhone to your Mac is to use AirPlay. AirPlay is a wireless technology that allows you to stream audio and video from your iPhone to your Mac.
To use AirPlay, make sure your iPhone and Mac are on the same Wi-Fi network. Then, on your iPhone, open the Music app and choose the song you want to play. Tap the AirPlay icon in the bottom left corner of the screen and select your Mac from the list of devices.
If you don’t see your Mac, make sure AirPlay is turned on on your Mac. To do this, open System Preferences and click on Sound. Then, select the Output tab and check the box next to “Show Volume in Menu Bar.” Then, click on the Volume icon in the menu bar and select your Mac from the list of devices.
Use Apple Music
There are a few different ways to play music from your iPhone on your MacBook. One of the easiest ways is to use Apple Music. With Apple Music, you can synchronize your music library across all of your devices, including your MacBook. To set up Apple Music on your MacBook, open the Music app and click on the “For You” tab. From there, click on the “Start Your Free Trial” button and follow the prompts. Once you’ve signed up for Apple Music, you can then access your music library on any of your devices, including your iPhone and MacBook.
Use iCloud Music Library
You can use iCloud Music Library to keep your content in sync across multiple devices. When you add songs, playlists, or albums to your music library on one device, those items are automatically added to all of your other devices that are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID. You can also access your music library across all of your devices by signing in to iTunes with the same Apple ID that you use with iCloud.
Conclusion
There are a few different ways that you can play music from your iPhone to your Macbook. The easiest way is to use a cable that connects your iPhone to your Macbook’s headphone jack. You can also use Bluetooth to wirelessly connect your devices, or you can use AirPlay to stream music from your iPhone to your Macbook.
