I have Media Monkey and AnyTrans can be found on their individual web sites. Media Monkey has a free version and a premium version you pay for. Anytrans, unfortunately, is not free, but doesn't cost much. It is well worth the investment, because it does just what it says - copy anything to anything. Really useful when you upgrade iPhones because the phone store and Apple won't migrate your music, just photos contacts and apps. "You can always re-buy at the iTunes store" - yeah right. Really arrogant and self-serving if you ask me. Besides, my music came from vinyl, reel to reel, cassettes, and CD's I own. So transferring tens of thousands of songs is almost an essential function to have. As far as Mac versions of those programs, I have no idea. I stay out of religious discussions like Mac vs. PC, but I am constrained to a PC because the scientific, CAD, and mathematical analysis programs I use for work are not, and never will be available in Mac versions. End of story. I am sure somebody on here can help you with an all Apple Mac suite of programs that do the same functions as Media Monkey and Anytrans - I can't be the only one on here who doesn't fit the mold of iTunes / sync / Apple music only. I do know there are large external drives for Macs - in fact the one I bought will work with either. They are good investments but only if you air gap them, connecting ONLY when you need to write or read something off them. Networked is not good enough - ransomware will corrupt that, too. Every single song, photograph, document, etc. should be backed up every day to an air-gapped drive. That way if you are hit you only lose a day's work and you can laugh at their comical ransom demand as you wipe you hard drive and re-install software. If you do get hit, set up a mirror hard drive with all you OS, application programs, and settings - then set it aside or air gap it. Saves time if you get hit (I never have).
