I can’t figure out how to get my audio file from my email in my iPhone 12 into my music on my iPhone 12. (It’s my own recording, not commercial) I will not believe that this is not possible: I’m from the “It just works” generation.

You'd need to do it through your computer. Add the file to the "Music" app (Mac) or iTunes (Windows) and then transfer it to your phone.
Sync music between your Mac and iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Also, have you tried saving the audio file to the "Files" app on your phone?

Yes, that did not work either, there is no 'save', or 'save to' button!
Boy this is so disappointing. I can not even save what is already on my device,
or transfer to any of the build in apps!!
As I noted in my first response, I believe you need to do this using your computer. That's the way it has always been and I don't know that it has changed.
Thank you IdrisSeabright
You used to be right. That is how I got over 40 of my recordings into the music app on iPhone 12.
I just tried to add one the way I use to: Plug in the iPhone12 by USB, Open iTunes, drop the audio file on
my device - iPhone: Result is: works no more!! So disapointing! El Capitan 10.11.6, IOS 15
Did you follow the directions in the article I linked to above? Drag and drop was always a little problematic, depending on your settings. You may have more luck syncing rather than using drag and drop. Note, however, that if the existing personal music isn't also set up to sync, it may be deleted.
"Drag and drop was always a little problematic"
Never problematic for me, know the steps! Can not use sync to chance un-replaceable files!
I did over 40 file transfers. Now it does not work anymore!
Thinking what do people do without a computer? Very disappointing!!
Thanks for your time and patience!
Sorry but I haven't transferred music to my iPhone from my computer in years. Hopefully, someone will come by with more knowledge.

Thank you for your response Mrokircredsz. Then how do you explain this:
Here is a screenshot of my iPhone 12 open music app with over 40 of my own recordings in it.
You cannot upload your own music onto Apple Music.
You can most certainly add your music files to the Music app.
Yes, that did not work either, there is no 'save', or 'save to' button!
