Long ago, Voice Memos used to automatically appear in Music when I connected my phone to my Mac. Now I can't find the "sync voice memo" settings and music files are in the iCloud, and I can't find how to simply listen to a voice memo on my Mac (and be sure its backed up).
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0
Ha! Thank you, and when did that app appear?

Have not tried it myself but worth a shot from below link

Aside, If not already done so, Ventura is now at 13.1

Not sure, its been around awhile, I think as long as the IOS app but not confident of that.

I've been recording client interviews for years, since the Voice Memos app appeared, several iPhones ago. At first they'd automatically transfer from the iPhone to iMusic (with the Voice Memo genre). A couple years ago that stopped, unless you selected the "sync voice memos" option in Music. I would guess that the Mac Voice Memos app may have appeared when that sync option disappeared. Perhaps it was when iCloud music sync became common, but I don't know. Recently I've been emailing/airdropping my voice memo files to myself, to ensure that the critical interviews are backed up. Until today I had no idea that the Mac app exists. Although so far I can't seem to get my voice memos into the Mac app, so I'm not too impressed. What used to be simple and automatic is now a pain the neck, and a worry that critical files could be lost.
If you open the Voice Memos app on your Mac, do the recordings not appear there?

Good point 👍 if the User has Both Devices signed into iCloud and using the Same Apple ID
Although (now that I have launched the app for the first time) the answer is no, my iphone voice memos do not show up in Voice Memos on the Mac. Even after a system reboot, there's no sync.
Are both devices signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID?

Yes. I can manually drag & drop files in to the Mac Voice Memos, but there's no sync.
Works seamlessly on my system, bidirectionally.
Looked around for a setting in iCloud to turn on/off syncing but could not find one.

How to bring a recording from Voice Memos on iPhone into Mac Music?
