Required to connect to wifi or cellular to play my muisc?

Why am I being required by iOS 14 to have wifi or cellular access to play songs that I have synced from my iMac? I never stream any content and I don't use the cloud for my music. Why would I get an error like this?


iPhone 7, iOS 14

As I said in my original post, I NEVER use wifi at all with this phone. I connect it to my iMac using a USB cable and always sync music that way.


I'm still looking for an answer as to why this is happening.
