Where is music on iPhone back ups?

[Peter Franks]

Is it possible to go into an old iPhone back up and cherry pick from the music app?

I am trying to find something that was deleted from my iTunes, but was on my phone a few back ups ago.

Ideally to retrieve from an older Time Machine back up, Is it at all possible to retrieve and not back up whole phone but just two voice tracks?
Searching for this on Google is impossible. Only shows whole back up retrievals
Thanks for any help

Music isn't included in iPhone backups.

That's a pain, thanks for your reply. I didn't know this, I thought as it was from iTunes it would have this

The backup includes a list of what music was on the phone and where it came from (either downloaded from Apple or from an iTunes library on a computer). As part of the restoration process the phone re-downloads the music from the original source, assuming it’s still there. I believe the same is true of apps as well.

Thanks for that, I deleted them from iTunes, that's why I thought if I could go into TM I know when they were on the phone. Thanks for reply. I didn't know any of that, I always assumed... it backed the music from iTunes up, but now you're saying that, it makes a lot of sense as it would be already be on the drive it got the music from in the first place
