iOS music and iCloud

I have a modest collection of music on my MacBook. I have recently transferred the music library to iCloud.


Using the Files app on the iPhone I can see all the files.


I do not subscribe to Apple Music.


How can I access this music on my iPhone using iOS?


iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

I have downloaded the File Explorer Pro app (the simpler version appeared to offer very little)


I can see my music files on iCloud but I could already to that in the Files app.


I can open an individual music file and play it. However I can do the same thing in Files. I can find no way of creating and playing a playlist. What am I missing?



I set out wanting to be able to use Apple's Music app on my iPhone to play music stored on the iCloud. Is there a way?
