I'm trying to transfer an imported (from a CD) song from my MacBook to my iPhone 6 and it keeps telling me "Some of the files were not copied to the iPhone because iCloud Music Library is enabled on this iPhone" and it won't transfer the song. What does this mean and why won't it work?

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7163823 - If you have signed up for Apple Music or iTunes Match you won't have the option to manually manage or sync music to a device in iTunes. Music syncing is done through iCloud and all your eligible music should appear there. Movies can still be synced.
A bit more about this, and some options- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7194995 and: Move content from iTunes on your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you have not signed up for one of the iCloud based services:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7104625?answerId=28481661022#28481661022 - "Music syncing has changed in iTunes 12.2.0 and iOS 8.4 Music App."
If you have iCloud Music Library turned ON on the iPhone, you do not load songs directly from the Mac. You use your iCloud Music Library. If you want to turn OFF iCloud Music Library on the iPhone, go to Settings -> Music (on the iPhone); "switch" OFF iCloud Music Library.
This worked for me, I turned off the icloud music on both itunes and iphone then dragged the downloaded song from itunes to my iphone and then once downloaded, I turned the icloud back on, and it's now playing. Hopefully this helps.
iCloud music library won't let me transfer music from mac to iPhone
