To access your Mac's music library from an iPhone using a local network, you can use Home Sharing. You can also use Sync Library to access your music library across devices. 


Home Sharing

  1. Ensure all devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network 
  2. Sign in to Home Sharing on your iPhone using the same Apple ID as your Mac 
  3. On your Mac, enable Home Sharing in iTunes 
  4. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Music to view your music library 

Sync Library 

  1. Sign in to your Apple Account on your iPhone and Mac
  2. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Apps > Music
  3. Turn on Sync Library
