How to turn on Sync Library on your iPhone or iPad
Use Sync Library to access your music library across your ...
The OP says that the music directory on his iPhone has "disappeared" – but it was my impression that iPhones, like iPods before them, don't store music in a user-visible part of the file system.
You couldn't treat an iPod's music library as if it were a user-accessible directory on a USB flash drive. And the iPhone's Music app doesn't make the songs it accesses available in a Files app folder. I could be wrong, but I really doubt that turning on "Sync Library" is going to change that behavior.
I think there may be third-party music player apps that you can install for iPhones / iPads / iPod Touches – ones that play the music from whatever place Music hides it. This is similar to how there are third-party photo apps which have the ability to work with photos in the iPhone's {Photo Library / Camera Roll}.
Help. My music directory has disappeared.
