Apple Music Songs not Syncing to iPhone

So using Apple Music allowed me to download from the cloud library to the "local" library which is a really nice feature and makes the subscription service that much better. However, those files when synced display this error box:

Interestingly, I have Sync Library check on my iPhone (Settings > Music)

And additionally, I have iCloud Music Library checked in the General Preferences of my iTunes. So with both options ticked I'm confused why I'm still unable to sync Apple Music along with the iTunes Library (local media).

Any insight and direction is most appreciated.

Hello ALM ALLDAY,

It sounds as though you're having issues with certain songs not syncing using iCloud Music Library from your PC to your iPhone. Being able to sync music is extremely important, and you've come to a great place for help.

As shown in the resource titled Sync music between your Mac and iPhone or iPad, this sounds like it may be normal behavior:

"If you subscribe to Apple Music, your music is transferred automatically to all your devices and no syncing is required. You can’t use the syncing method described here unless you turn off the option to Sync Library in Apple Music preferences."

Are you able to access those songs in question from the iPhone from your Music app? If not, we recommend confirming that you're completing the steps outlined in Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music.

Have a great day!
