songs on windows itunes dont sync with iphone se 3rd gen

I have a iTunes library with 7,000 songs. Whenever I add new songs to the windows iTunes library and sync devices 100+ don't syn, are greyed out, including songs I'd previously added and were installed correctly. The only way I've been able to fix this is to delete all songs from iPhone and then reinstall from iTunes.

iPhone SE (3rd generation)

iTunes on Windows Desktop shows songs as being on phone but they are not I have an iPhone XS and a Windows 10 desktop. All OS and Apps are the latest versions. I recently did a synch to my phone to (hopefully) add some new tunes. What happened, instead, is that most of my music is no longer on my phone. iTunes desktop shows 4000+ tunes available on my phone. In reality, the only ones there are ones I've purchased from the iTunes store. After several attempts at resynching, re-authorizing the computer and other things, I decided to create a new clean iTunes library on my desktop. With my iTunes library now empty, I synched the phone again. Same result - the only tunes there are ones I've purchased. But iTunes desktop still shows the 4000+ songs there. Help?

Files are greyed out after syncing iTunes Library to iPhone I am trying to sync my iTunes library on my Windows 11 PC to my iPhone. I was led to believe this would be fairly straight forward, but it's not proved to be. I have the latest version of iTunes on the PC, the latest software update on my iPhone and I'm an Apple Music customer too. As I understand it, Apple tries to 'match' the songs in my iCloud library with what's duplicated on Apple Music. And this works. However I have a lot of files in my library that are not on Apple Music that I uploaded to iTunes from old CDs etc. But when I try to sync these to my phone via Apple Music most of the files appear greyed out in the library on the phone and can't be accessed, although a handful are available - sometimes on an album 3 of the songs have syncd while the rest haven't... I've also tried a hard-wire synch by plugging the iPhone into the laptop but that doesn't work either. The process seems to initiate but nothing happens in terms of transfer of files from the laptop to the phone. It's driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated. I have a large library (120gb) and have tried leaving it a few hours for the sync to work but that didn't happen. Thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]
