how to listen to iTunes library without subscribing to Apple Music

I have a huge library of purchased iTunes songs that I want on my SE iPhone. They're asking me to pay for a subscription to Apple Music. I just want what I've already paid for. How do I get it on my phone?

Who's asking you?


You don't need a subscription to listen to your own music. You need a subscription to access the Apple Music catalog, or to use the iCloud Music feature.


Where is this music you want to listen to exactly?

If its on a PC, you just want to transfer your music to the iPhone, follow the steps here: link-> Sync iPhone with your computer - Apple Support


You can also re-download available tracks directly on the iPhone from the iTunes Store: link-> Redownload music - Apple Support
