Comments about iMazing as a Alternative to iExplorer
Some users think iMazing is a great iExplorer alternative, some don't.

iMazing is a good app in terms of features, but you can't use a single license for multiple phones. So even if you're on a single computer, you have to pay for each additional phone. For example, I paid for iMazing to access my iPhone XR, but now that I upgraded to an iPhone 13, I have to pay for an additional license for my new phone. Not the most user-friendly setup.

It's freeeee! You can buy versions that let you transfer whole playlists the way they already exist but this program at least lets you get your music from your phone to a new Mac in minutes. A+ saved me hours and prolly days of YouTube-MP3 converting
