unable to see my iPhone listed in Music on my iMac

How do I transfer my Music Library from my iMac to my iPhone so I can play it on a Bluetooth speaker already paired to my iPhone. I've tried all online suggestions. When I open the sidebar in Finder it doesn't show Locations, let alone my iPhone. Help, I've exhausted my online search.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Cannot copy music from Music app to iPhone On Music app on Mac laptop ( Catalina 10.15.4 ) I cannot copy music to my iPhone. Both the laptop and iPhone are on my account. The laptop can see the iPhone in Finder. Music sees the iPhone but I cannot play any songs on it and I cannot copy an uploaded song in Music to the iPhone. Is this a feature ? I still have an older Mac laptop that I can use but that's not as convenient.

(Some) previously purchased music not showing up on iPhone13 Some but not all of my music uploaded previously from CD's, appears and is available in my MacBook music library, and shows as copied to my iPhone 13, but they do not show up in my iPhone's music library in any of the modes (Artist, Songs, etc). Running Monterey 12.6.1 on my MacBook and 16.1.2 in my iPhone 13 mini. Suggested 'sync' fields/toggles/screens in related threads do not show up in Music on my iPhone, and all attempts to sync via Finder either 'entire music library' or 'selected artists...etc' on my MacBook haven't helped. I've deleted my entire library from my iPhone and re-sync'd, restarted, left the devices paired for 24 hours all multiple times...to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

You might need to reset your trust settings as described in About the 'Trust This Computer' alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. If you're still not making any progress it might be time to reach out to Apple Support.
