35G of music missing from my iPhone after ios17 upgrade

I've just discovered that all my music - 35G of it - has disappeared from my iphone 14 Max Pro after the ios 17 "upgrade". This is all music that I own. I do not have (or need) an Apple Music subscription.

The music is still on my Mac, but it doesn't get transferred when I sync the phone. Note that I have all the music backed up in several other places, so I'm not in danger of losing it, but I need to have it on my phone. How do I get it back?

Thanks.

See if syncing without any music selected, then sync again with the music selected helps.

Thanks, but that made no difference. It did exactly the same thing as it did when I synced it through the Finder: deliberated for a while, dit yet another backup (which I didn’t need: I’d already done three such backups tonight), said it was going to sync, but didn’t add any music.
