The new 6S Plus is my fifth iPhone. In every upgrade I've always backed up the old phone in iTunes on my Mac and then transferred all the data to the new phone via iTunes. In all previous instances, my extensive music library and playlists have migrated flawlessly.
This time however, most (but not all) of my music is viewable on the 6S Plus, but the text is grayed out and can't be clicked on to play. Most of the music in my iTunes was downloaded directly to my Mac from my CD collection. I've since determined that it is those songs that are unavailable now. The relatively small number of songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Store over the years will all play without problem on the 6S Plus.
During the initial data transfer to the new phone, I received no indications that anything was amiss. I suspect the problem has something to do with this effed up iCloud bs. And for the record, I don't have anything stored in "the cloud" (that I'm aware of), I don't want anything stored in "the cloud", I wish "the cloud" didn't exist.
