    Hi caity hodge,

     

    I see from your post that you've added some music from Apple Music on to your iPhone, and you'd like those to be playable on your Mac.  All you need to do for this is to make sure you have iCloud Music Library enabled as well as Apple Music on both your Mac and iPhone, and the music will be available on your Mac.

     

    Sign in to Apple Music and turn on iCloud Music Library

    To add music to your library, you must have an active Apple Music membership and turn on iCloud Music Library. 

    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

    1. In the Apple Music app, tap the profile icon and sign in with the same Apple ID and password that you use for your Apple Music membership. 
    2. Go to Settings > Music, and turn on iCloud Music Library.
    3. If you already have music on your device, you'll be asked if you want to Merge or Replace the music. Choose Merge to add the songs currently on your device to your library.* If you select Replace, the music on your device is replaced with your Apple Music library.

    On your Mac or PC:

    1. Make sure that you're signed in to iTunes with the Apple ID and password that you use for your Apple Music membership. 
    2. Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences and turn on iCloud Music Library.
      Windows: Press Control + B on your keyboard to open the iTunes menu bar. Choose iTunes > Preferences, and turn on iCloud Music Library.
    3. If you already have music on your device, you'll be asked if you want to Merge or Replace the music. Choose Merge to add the songs currently on your device to your library.* If you select Replace, the music on your device is replaced with your Apple Music library.

    Take care.
