Is anybody aware of a live stream of the Montreaux jazz tonight? I can only seem to find a recording releasing in a few days but would love to see live

Hi there I’m going insane trying to figure this out and need help from more experienced people haha.

For context my iPhone and MacBook are all updated to latest versions. I don’t have an Apple Music subscription.

My end goal here is to download cd music onto my iPhone.

I have done this for a while but always involves syncing from my MacBook to my iPhone which has been such an annoying process. I have tried everything to avoid this and done hours of research but can’t resolve this.

The only thing I want to do is move downloaded CDs to my iPhone from my MacBook without syncing. I make a lot of changes to playlists and whatnot on my iPhone and every time I need to add a new downloaded playlist, the sync feature reverts everything to how it is on my MacBook, meaning annoyingly if I want my playlists to be updated, I need to go on my MacBook and do all the work which is inconvenient for me as I don’t use the MacBook all that often.

I tried airdropping the music files to my phone but realise you can’t move music files to Apple Music through iPhone (?!?!?!) which is insanity in my eyes. The only insight I’ve gained through this process is that Apple will add so many obstacles for people who aren’t willing to pay a subscription and it’s really inconvenienced me since I stopped paying. This feels intentional from Apple and I’m not very happy. If anybody could help I would really appreciate it thank you!!
