Itunes Music library

Connect your iPhone and when it shows up in iTunes click the phone then music under your device. You'll see an option to sync all music or just selected playlists.

 

Yes, if you have iCloud Music Library on on your iOS device, you must sync via cloud. This is one of the issues people have with iTunes Music. You can choose to download playlists, albums, artists, individual songs, etc for offline listening though.

 

You can also go to music in your phone options and turn off "show all music" which will only show music that is on your phone an nothing from the cloud.

 

Same issue.

Disable iCloud music library on your iPhone (settings>music) . Sync with iTunes and you'll notice you can now choose what you want to sync under the music section (instead of seeing "iCloud music library is enabled")

Sync music to phone and then you can reenable iCloud music library and all of your synced files will stay. You'll just have to choose "merge" instead of replace when turning iCloud library back on. May have a few playlists that double up after "merge" but just delete those extra ones.

 

Struggled with this but have found the above to work without issue. I didn't want to permanately disable iCloud library but I also didn't want to have to stream everything. Best of both worlds

 

My son is pissed over this.
As soon as you turn it on, it screws up your album art among other things. I think it is currently still a wreck.
I have albums that Apple overrides with their own special rendition of what they think it is; and what album cover they approve- not the one I have or was the original.

perfect example, look at the smiths- Hatful of Hollow.
turn it on, and off- see the results.
