Manually manage music
I can't get the "Manually manage music, movies, and TV shows" setting to work in Apple Music. I have macOS Monterey. I am would like to manually manage my music library on my iPhone 13. Thanks.

Hi greathornedowl,
Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.
When you manually manage content you simply drag and drop from the library to the device where it appears in the sidebar. You can learn more about this process using Finder on your Mac and the information below:
• Manually manage music, movies, and TV shows: Turns off the automatic syncing of music, movies, and TV shows. Doing this can help you save storage space on your device, because you can choose which music, movies, and TV shows are transferred.
This information is provided in Save storage space when syncing on Mac - Apple Support
If those steps don’t help, we’ll need some additional information to provide more specific support.
Do you see an error message?
What specifically happens when you drag and drop what you'd like to move to your iPhone?
Cheers.
