Unable to play MP3s in the Music app on iPhone 14 after updating to iOS 26

I synced my iPhone 14 with my MacBook Air. Today after updating to iOS 26, music on the Music app won't play. My MacBook Air was also updated today to Tahoe. I'm not using any streaming app to play music; these are all mp3's.

Hi SJF0123- Thank you for the suggestion. I've been busy updating everything today as I've been home sick the last couple weeks. I guess I thought I didn't have to since the iPhone restarted after updating to 26, but I restarted it again and it works now. Thanx again!
