Cannot copy music from Music app to iPhone

On Music app on Mac laptop ( Catalina 10.15.4 ) I cannot copy music to my iPhone. Both the laptop and iPhone are on my account. The laptop can see the iPhone in Finder. Music sees the iPhone but I cannot play any songs on it and I cannot copy an uploaded song in Music to the iPhone.


Is this a feature ? I still have an older Mac laptop that I can use but that's not as convenient.

See Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support.


You would use Finder to transfer songs from your computer to the device. In Catalina you are no longer able to play the songs stored on a connected device as you could with iTunes.
