Paying For Apple Music

Hello Guys. Hope someone could help me. Ive been trying for a while now to upload all of my old CD’s from my computer, into ITunes and finally onto my iPhone. No issues with getting them onto ITunes. But I don’t currently have a subscription to Apple Music. I don’t want to have one. And it will not allow me to sync these songs onto my iPhone & it definitely doesn’t let me have them on Apple Music. Does this mean that Apple want me to pay for a service I’m never going to use just so I can listen to music I’ve already purchased & uploaded to my PC? If not, Please could someone let me know how I can go about getting music purchased outside of iTunes onto my device? Thanks!
