Download Music Library Across All Devices on the Same Account Is it possible to match music libraries so that when a song is downloaded to an iPhone, that exact song is ALSO AUTOMATICALLY downloaded to an iPad on the same account? if not, is is possible to download all songs instead of doing them individually?

Is a subscription to Apple Music required to synch owned music to iPhone 14? I just upgraded from an 8 Plus to the 14 Pro. I have 80 gb of music that I have copied from cd's that I own to my MacBook that I have been synching with my iPhone 8 for the last few years. After restoring the new 14 from a backup, I found that all of the songs that I had on my computer would not play on my new phone. Music that I had purchased from Apple did play. After searching this community and the internet and spending about 3hr with apple support on phone and in person at the local Genius Bar, the only thing we could figure out was that you have to have a subscription to Apple Music to transfer the actual music files to my phone so that I can play them. I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENT TO SUBSCRIBE TO AN APPLE PRODUCT TO SYNC AND PLAY MUSIC ON MY PHONE THAT I LEGALLY OWN that I have been able to synch in the past. Don't always have internet so access to music on phone is important. Do I have any recourse or is there a way to synch my owned music to my phone?

iTunes-Music and choices I'm doing my best to understand how to load music to my iPhone 12 mini, but just not finding solutions...I refuse to subscribe and pay AGAIN for music I enjoy and have already purchased; so how do get my already-purchased music from my MacAir to my iPhone 12 mini?

Over the years is irrelevant (I've had about 20). It's active devices that matter.
