Why won't my songs play after migrating to Apple Music?

I migrated my music files from iTunes to Apple Music. (PC, sorry.) Looked fine, everything listed in the library, but many songs won't play. Most purchased albums and no M4p files will play. Any suggestions?

Some Songs Won't Import to Music When I import my music into the Music app, only some songs import. I have 260 songs, but only 215 successfully imported. When I hover over the music files that won't import and click the play button, the song plays normally and isn't corrupted, but when I try importing the song, it doesn't import properly and it doesn't give me any error message. When I tried importing through the "Automatically Add to Music" folder, it simply deletes the file and doesn't fix. Any help would be appreciated!

Apple Music on Windows 11 won't play songs, just skips through them After installing Apple Music on my Windows 11 laptop, I can access all my music and playlists but when I try to play any track or album, Apple Music just skips all the tracks and starts playing related music. I suspect it has to do with a previous iTunes (now uninstalled) installation or a previous iTunes library in my Music folder (now deleted). Reinstallation hasn't fixed. I see others have had this issue in iTunes for Windows 10 won't play any song… - Apple Community but no-one posted a fix for it. Anyone found a fix?

imported songs in iTunes not syncing I have several songs showing Kind as 'Internet Audio Stream'. These tracks are greyed out and have a dotted cloud next to them that says "waiting." These tracks are all from CD's I imported into iTunes many years ago. They also will no longer play on my iPhone or iPad and says, "This song is not symced across your device" when I try to play them. Some how these songs were switched from AAC to internet audio stream I have tried everything I found as solutions to get these songs to sync and play and change the format to AAC with no luck. Any ideas?

Revert to iTunes. Uninstall Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Devices.

Yes you can. When Apple Music, Apple TV, or Apple Devices are installed iTunes becomes limited to working with audiobooks and podcasts. Remove all three and iTunes goes back to normal. You use the media selection tool at the top left to choose music.

you can't go back to iTunes, it no longer supports music
