Q: Syncing issues

I recently imported new music from CDs that I want to sync onto my phone, however, when I go to add the music there is no option for me to even select what music I want to sync. I've tried to "edit" the playlist but when I attempt to drag the music into the sidebar it either does nothing or tells me the iCloud Library is on.

 

I just want my stupid music.

 

I have the latest version of itunes and I feel like punting my computer through a wall.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2

    Hey there nolszewski43,

     

    It sounds like you may be using Apple Music and the iCloud Music Library, according to your description of the message you are seeing. 

    Your Apple Music membership includes an iCloud Music Library, which allows you to enjoy your entire music library from all of your devices. 

    When you first join, Apple Music checks your music collection to see which of your songs are also in the Apple Music catalog. It does this by matching against your song’s details (such as name, artist, album). If we have your songs in our catalog, we make them available to access on all of your devices.

    When Apple Music adds these matched songs to your iCloud Music Library, Apple Music doesn’t change or alter your original music files that reside in iTunes for Mac or PC or on your iOS devices from which they were added. We make these matched songs available to your other computers or devices in high quality 256 Kbps AAC, and they can be played on them only while your Apple Music membership is active. 

    In addition, iTunes will upload to your iCloud Music Library those songs that we can’t find in our catalog, to make them available to you on all of your other devices.
