Any ideas why and how to fix this please?  The items are 20 yr old DJ mixes from the UK but they will not upload and then go onto my phone.  Latest version of Itunes (12) and on iMac.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    There are several reasons for an item being "not eligible" for iCloud music library.

     

    This document has the details

    It says:

    Song files larger than 200 MB won't be uploaded to iCloud.

    Song files longer than two hours in length won't be uploaded to iCloud.

    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) won't be matched or uploaded to iCloud unless your computer is authorized for playback of that content.

    And one other reason is the song being encoded at 96 kbps or less.

     

    Depending on reason, there are ways to make it work.
