Downloaded music not playing on new iPhone 12

Transferred everything from SE Iphone 8 to new IPhone 12. All downloaded OK but songs greyed out and none will play. This is MY music, from CD's I own and paid for. Why won't hey play? What can I do to resolve please?

Thank you. The problem is I am unable to sync on iTunes. Spent 45 mins on the phone with 'an adviser' yesterday and ended up being told to close the laptop down (which I had done) uninstall Itunes (which I had done) and reinstall Itunes - which I did - with the same result. Unable to sync so unable to fix music to play.


Any helpful suggestions very welcome.

Regards


Denise
