After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Where can I transfer my music from my iPhone 4s, but still have access to my music?
If you've purchased your music from iTunes, you can download the music at a later date. So you could do a cleanup, but always be able to access your songs later. Or . . . you could tell iTunes not to sync certain songs.
