Hey there KCAMILLE,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


For the particular device you're using, you'd just want to ensure that iCloud Music Library is enabled in Settings > Music, as Sync Library is available on iOS 13 and later.


If the songs are still greyed out after enabling this setting, or if the setting is already enabled, check out the following resource for more information: If songs are missing from your music library after you turn on Sync Library - Apple Support


If a song is grayed out
If you see No Longer Available next to a song that's grayed out, the song was added from Apple Music and was removed from the Apple Music catalog.


We hope that's able to help.


Best regards.
