Hello xandervolk,


Thank you for posting. It sounds like you have an audio file you've added to your Mac music library, but it's not syncing via Apple Music to any of your other devices. Is that right?


Do you see any icons next to the song in question? If so, see if any of these suggestions help: Identify cloud status icons in your music library on your Mac or PC


This link, titled If songs are missing from your music library after you turn on Sync Library, has a few other ideas that could help:


"If you can't find or play a song

If you can't find or play a song, check if you added it from Apple Music. If it came from another source, the song might be waiting to upload. Try these steps:

  1. Turn on your Mac or PC and connect it to the Internet.
  2. Open the Music app or iTunes for Windows.
  3. Keep the Music app or iTunes for Windows open so your library can finish uploading.

If you see an ineligible icon   next to a song, delete the song, then add it back to your library. If you still see an ineligible icon next to a song, then that song can’t be uploaded.

If a song is grayed out, then the song might be waiting to upload, no longer available, or not yet released from the Apple Music catalog."


"Turn Sync Library off, then turn it back on

You might be able to fix your issue by turning Sync Library off for all of your devices, then turning it back on again.  Learn how."
