Syncing Music

I am trying to sync my iTunes library across multiple devices, but the "settings" option under music is not showing. Any insight?

I can not Sync my iTunes Music across multiple devices. I have read the help information, and I do not see "Sync Library" as an option to choose in either my Music>Settings>Preferences>General Tab OR under my Settings on my iPhone for Music. I am up to date on all software.

Sync to Library is not showing in Music app on iPad I use a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iPhone 13. All have latest updates. On my phone and MacBook, the music app has the option to sync library (both are turned on and sync just fine). However, my music will not sync to my iPad. I went to settings, music and the sync to library toggle does not exist. I am subscribed to iTunes Match. From everything I am able to find, with iTunes Match it should allow you to sync to ALL devices. But there is no option to enable this in the iPad, it’s simply not there. All three devices are logged into the same iCloud account. I do have Match. If I download an app on my phone it appears on the iPad. Everything syncs, just not music. I deleted the music app from the iPad and re-downloaded. Same screen without any sync library option. How do I get my music that’s on my phone and MacBook to show up on my iPad?

No sync library option on iPhone or Mac - what next? None of my devices show the option for "sync music" under Settings - Music or under Music app. Do I have to subscribe to Apple Music just to sync my owned music between devices>

The option to do this automatically requires that you have a subscription to Apple Music or iTunes Match. See Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices - Apple Support.
