copying a music folder on iTunes to Iphone

I have a 7-Plus iPhone and can't really sync a music library (folder ) from my iTunes 12.8.2.3 . I no longer can be able to sync selected music folder/s to my phone. instead, copies all content in iTunes. Kindly advise on what need to be done.



Thanks

Instead of relying on your music organization (folders), use the iTunes framework to determine what to sync.

Another likely problem is the age of your Mac's iTunes. The current iTunes version is 12.9.5.5. Your iTunes may well be too old to communicate to your iOS device.

Well, "versatile" is not the way Apple deals with Digital Rights Management, which governs what you can copy, etc.


The particulars for each and every song matter. For example, if you once subscribed to Apple Music and no longer subscribe, you don't own rights to any of the songs you acquired from that expired subscription.
