iPhone and Music.app

Is it still possible to move music that I've purchased on CD and copied to Music.app (v1.2.2.4, OS12.2.1) onto my iPhone 13 (iOS 15.6.1)? It seems like I can no longer drag songs from my Music library to my phone in the sidebar. Perhaps I'm missing a setting after replacing a computer. I don't want to sync, I want to move a single "album" to my phone.

Stop Music from erasing music on my phone when syncing Hi, even if I choose the manual sync option when transferring music to my phone, the app erases everything already there & replaces it with only the new item. How can I just add music to what's already there? It's ridiculous to be forced to re-download thousands of tracks when I only want to add something new. I tried Airdropping or emailing files to the phone but can't see how to then get them into the Music app. Is there a third party app I can get for the phone which will allow me to manipulate the music files?

Unable to move Music from my iPhone to my MacBook - plus - artwork is incorrect on iPhone 12 Most fixes I have read tells you to just delete all music files on your iPhone, and then re-sync on Music > but I am not able to do this - because my iPhone has music that is not in my Macbook's Music app. I've never found a way to get all my music that is on my iPhones, onto my newer MacBook Air (2020). Previously, I used an app called Senuti, but it isn't supported anymore. I started re-ripping all my 2,000+ CDs into Music, now the album artwork on my phone is all wonky. Any suggestions?

How come drag and drop for music is gone again???? All of a sudden, I cannot drag and drop music from my Mac onto my phone again? Did Apple decide it was too manageable for us? I have the 16.5.1 update on my phone. There was a huge outcry about this issue several years ago when it switched from iTunes to Apple Music. (Sierra OSX) It's a little bit maddening that I own the phone, I own the music. Apple decides what we can do it with. Or is it because I have an 8 that works just fine and they want me to by a new one? Screw it. Next phone is gonna be a basic phone only.

You have to sync. That's the way it has always been: Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod using your computer – Apple Support (AU)
