Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
When I purchased my new iPhone 12 I suddenly could not access some of my music. I thought maybe I need to sync my phone and MacBook Pro music library. It appears I have to pay for an Apple Music subscription in order to listen to my music on the iPhone.
iPhone 12, iOS 14
Mmad,
If you don't have a subscription, you can connect via USB and sync the "old fashioned way." In here are the steps:
Use the Finder to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support
The main difference from iTunes is that the connected phone will appear in Finder, not in iTunes/Music. But after that the process works the same.

Can I only listen to music I previously purchased by paying for an Apple Music subscription?
