Q: Why iTunes 12 not syncing new music to my iPhone 6S+??
I downloaded a few new songs the past week, and I just now realised they did not sync to my iPhone at all. My phone is updated to 9.2.1 and iTunes is the latest version.
I already have the 'Only Downloaded Music' option de-selected from my Music app, and that didn't do anything. I also tried syncing via USB to see if it'll sync the music properly rather than over Wi-Fi, but that did not work also. Restarted both iTunes and my iPhone, but that did not give a solution to my problem either.
I'm just wondering WHY it isn't syncing any of my new songs, and how can I go about fixing this issue?? Is it because I subscribed to Apple Music or something to do with that?
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2.1

Yes, because you subscribed to Apple Music.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7163823 - If you have signed up for Apple Music or iTunes Match you won't have the option to manually manage or sync music to a device in iTunes. Music syncing is done through iCloud and all your eligible music should appear there. Movies can still be synced.

If you have not signed up for one of the iCloud based services:
