Some of the songs I have uploaded from CDs I own will not play on my iPhone 8+. When I try to play them, I get a message saying “This song is currently not available in your country or region”. BTW one of the songs that is unavailable is “Stairway to Heaven”, from a CD I purchased in 1986.

Hi danielfromnorth augusta, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that you are experiencing issues playing some of the songs that you acquired from CDs.
We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.
Do you have an Apple Music subscription? If yes, does it help if you delete the affected songs, then add them again on your library.
Are you using a VPN on your device, on your router, or access point?
In the meantime, we recommend that you check for a software update.
While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest software version for your device can help isolate potential software issues.
Kindly secure a backup and update.

Take care!
The songs play fine on my Mac. The only issue is when I try to copy them to my phone. After re-syncing my phone three times, they finally are playing properly. Thanks for the help, but I still don’t understand why this happens.
Hello danielfromnorth augusta,
Since you have the CD did you try to add it back to to the Mac library?

Cheers.
I do not have a subscription to Apple music. Too lo-fidelity for me.

i am not using VPN.
