Is there a way to back my music up from my old phone (8 plus) to iCloud so I can put back on new phone (13 pro max) . Originally put on (8 plus)using ITunes but no longer have access to original computer or ITunes via a computer.

Hello TracepPL,
Thanks for the additional details. If the songs were manually synced to the device through iTunes on a computer, then the only way to get those files on the new phone would be to connect it to whatever computer has those files on it.
If you have a new computer, you can migrate backup and move your iTunes Library with these steps: Back up and restore your iTunes library on your PC
If it's a Mac, you can use Migration Assistant to move the iTunes Library over: Move content to a new Mac
If you no longer have access to the computer that has these music files on it, then you would need to re-import those CD's to the computer you're currently using now and then sync them to the phone.
You can also use the Apple Music service, which gives you access to Apple's full catalog of music if you're trying to avoid manually syncing with a computer all together: Apple Music
Cheers!
Hello TracepPL,
That's a wonderful question! Were these songs purchased from iTunes? If so, the purchases should transfer to your iPhone 13 Pro Max during setup. There are several options available for transferring content to your new device, one of which is using Quick Start as outlined below. You can also find these steps outlined in the following article.
6.Keep your devices near each other and plugged in to power until the data migration process is complete. Transfer times can vary based on factors such as network conditions and the amount of data being transferred."
Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone or iPad
Another options that may be available is subscribing to Apple Music or iTunes Match, then enabling Sync Library. You can learn more about syncing your library across your devices via the following article.

Have a great day!
Thanks Tod but no they were not purchased from I tunes . They are a compilation of my favourite songs copied from CD’s I purchased over the years . So would be very hard to find again, without many hours of work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks heaps that looks like the way . Much appreciated
