You cannot sync device to computer using any method Apple provides. The idea seems to be if this is Apple Music downloads for offline listening those can only be downloaded directly to a device or computer from Apple. If it is music that originated from a source you have such as CDs then it is in your music library on your computer to start with and should still be there, or on a backup.
