Many years ago I downloaded loads of music CD's to my iPhone 6. I have since upgraded iPhones but still use the iPhone 6 for the downloaded music (connect to car music system).

Now the iPhone 6 is starting to fail, I need to reload the music onto my current iPhone. Tried iTunes etc and it don't let me copy device to device. Have tried various methods via online helps/forums.

 Next idea is to take out a free 3 month sub to Apple Music. Download CD to listen to them offline onto IPhone and then before charging starts cancel the sub.

Will this work?

Plan Z is to fire up laptop with a CD drive and rip the CDs again to current iPhone .....groan

Seems you need to continue an Apple Music subscription for offline music (downloads) to carry on working.

Why can't they just leave CD players in cars ....

Last car with such was 2013 and it had a six disc loader in boot.

Ta SIRandy. I thought that tip 3 may have been useful, but as long as you get the tunes moved it is all good. 

CD players on cars. They hid mine behind the sat nav/info screen and it was weeks before I found it.
