Apple Music syncs through the cloud, unlike the traditional wired computer-to-device-syncing. The latter is disabled when the iCloud Music Library is active on your device.
- Traditional way: Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes on your computer - Apple Support
- Apple Music way: Turn on iCloud Music Library with Apple Music - Apple Support
Note that downloads from Apple Music for offline use need to happen on each device separately, directly from Apple’s servers.
Note that unmatched tracks can be uploaded from iTunes on a computer to your iCloud Music Library, to make them available to other devices. ‘Unmatched tracks’ would be content that is not available in the Apple Music catalog.
