iTunes library not showing up on my iphone

The majority of my music is showing up on iTunes but not on my iPhone. The help pages indicate to turn on icloud sharing under the settings for both the iphone and itunes but this is not even an option. There is nothing about iCloud Music at all.

Mac OSx, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

I do not subscribe to Apple Music. I do subscribe to iTunes Match.


Here is what my iTunes (12.6) preferences look like:

If you do not use either Apple Music or iTunes Match, then iCloud would not be involved in your music at all. You would simply coordinate your music between your computer and iPhone by syncing ... period. Music purchased in iTunes could be independently downloaded to either the iPhone, computer, or both.

Note the "Turn on iCloud Music Library" article you attached above indicates it is for Apple Music subscribers.


I pointed out that iTunes Match subscribers may also use this library.


But again, you need at least one of the above, or the iCloud Music Library is not relevant or available to you.
