Hello, kash1055. Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. We understand your situation and how you are noticing a message when you attempt to download music to your iPhone. We know that being able to manage your music library must be important to you, and we are happy to help you research why this may be happening.
We are glad to see that you have already been able to review the Apple Support article that explains how you can redownload music to your device. To continue from here, we’d like to provide you with an additional article that we think will help you.

According to the article: "When you sign in with your Apple ID on a device and use that device to make purchases or subscribe to Apple services, the device becomes associated with your account." If you try to link a device that was previously associated with another Apple ID, you might see a message like this.
If you think that this message is showing incorrectly, or if your device has not been linked with another Apple ID recently, we would suggest contacting Apple Support directly for more help. Depending on your current location, you may be able to contact Apple Support using the following link:
We hope that this information helps to explain the reason for this message that you are seeing. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.
Have a great day!
