On my old 5S 32GB I had iTunes Match turned on.

I just got a 64GB 6 Plus, set up by restoring from my 5S iCloud backup. Since I now have 64GB of space, I decided to have all my music locally again, so I turned off iTunes Match.

I plugged my 6 Plus into my Mac and told iTunes to Sync All Music. I have about 20GB (3600 songs) of music, and I set iTunes to convert it to 128kbps when syncing, so I expected it to take a while. The blue bar at the bottom (Audio) indeed showed I'd now have 20GB of Audio on my iPhone.

However, the sync went really quickly, and when I checked my 6 Plus, there was no music on it.

I plugged it back in, and the blue bar had gone (i.e. saying there was no audio on the phone).

I restarted Mac and iPhone, tried again. This time it seemed to be taking ages to sync, so I went to bed and left it. I got up this morning and sync had finished. I checked my phone, and all my albums are there, but there's no artwork, every song is greyed out, and has a Stop button next to it.

Any idea what's going on?

iPhone 6 Plus running 8.0, Mac Mini running latest OS X 10.9.5 and latest iTunes 11.4. Note that iTunes Match is not, and never has been, enabled on the Mac Mini.
