Why can’t I add music from my ITunes library to my IPhone?

I have tried to manually add music from my ITunes library to my phone by dragging and dropping it, but it always tells me ‘some of the files were not copied to the IPhone because ICloud Music Library is enabled’. When i went to go turn ICloud Music Library off, it told me i’d lose all of my apple music songs. what do i do?

Unable to transfer iTunes library to iPhone 13 Pro I upgraded from an iPhone 11 to iPhone 13 Pro in December. The only music that transferred was the songs purchased through iTunes. I opted to begin an Apple Music trial until I had time to sit and transfer music from my PC iTunes to the new phone. I keep receiving the following message when trying to transfer music: Some of the files were not copied to the iPhone because iCloud Music Library is enabled on this iPhone. I’m running iOS 15.2.1. I tried disabling “sync library” but the error persisted. Is this an issue with starting Apple Music? I have albums/songs that aren’t available through Apple Music and would really like them back on my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Apple Music is restricting me transferring iTunes music I've upgraded to an iPhone Pro Max and have Apple Music. During the data transfer, I have lost music which I had on my device that does not appear in the Apple Music library. I have tried to transfer these files from iTunes onto the device but get the following message 'Some of the files were not copied to the iPhone “Device Name” because iCloud Music Library is enabled on this iPhone. I have searched high and low on forums and cannot find how to allow my device to accept the music files. I have been into Settings > Music > Sync Library (switched this on and off), it doesn't change anything and have signed out of iTunes, restarted the phone and signed back in. Again this hasn't worked. Please help.
