I had the same issue for two weeks. upgrading my phone did not help, syncing and authorizing devices did not help. The ONLY thing that DID help was the following steps:
For mutiple songs on the same album I just removed the entire album from the device and added it back from Apple Music.
Hope that helps. 🙂
This was not helpful at all. For the past week almost half of my Library has been greyed out and conveniently most of the songs I listen to the most. I'm ready to stop paying for my family plan at this point
I have set my ipod to be manually synced yet I discovered that many songs have been suddenly greyed out since I last connected my ipod to my iTunes library on my PC via a cable. I also see that in iTunes a large number of albums have the cloud symbol and I now have to download them into iTunes. This option to directly download to my iPod will not work. I am not sure how this could have happened accidentally.
I am now faced with having to download my library and and am unable to delete the unplayable items directly from my iPod or from within iTunes. I have over 4,688 songs on my iPod so you can see how this is extremely annoying!
I would like to understand how this could have happened and how to fix these errors. My iPod is now cluttered with blank album covers and titles. It's very frustrating.
If your library has gone cloudy see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
You cannot sync items directly from the cloud to the device, they must be stored locally.
Chances are the files are there, but iTunes has forgotten them.

The issue here is this is occurring on all apple devices so it is not a device issue.
good question. Checked it and it appears to occure only on my iMac. Not on my iPad nor on my iphone
How was not helpful? How many songs you listening to? 13?
I agree. Spotify plays what I want when I want for same price. This Apple Music is WAY more heartache and hassle.

Please post a screenshot of how the tracks are shown to you so that we might be able to tell the reason. Unchecked tracks may be displayed as greyed out in certain views. They will be skipped during normal track to track playback and are typically excluded from syncing. It is possible to accidentally check or uncheck a large number of songs while attempting to use Ctrl+Click to pick out individual tracks for some other purpose as Ctrl+Clicking on a check box sets or clears all check boxes in the current view.
