I should have been more specific. I have the music app on my iPad and my iPhone 12mini. I can play music on both devices. I can play some songs on my iPad that I want to listen to, but when I want to play the same song on my iPhone, it is not in my iPhone library. Hope that makes more sense.

I do have thousands of songs in the iPad library that are also in my iPhone library. Just some songs are not and I can’t figure out why.

Suggestions?

Thanks
