Synching playlist from ITunes to Ipad

Is it no longer possible to sync my purchased songs playlists from iTunes to my iPad if I DO NOT have an Apple Music subscription? I’m noticing playlists are no longer synching when connecting IPad to ITunes on my PC. I’m having to go in to the music app on my iPad and manually add purchased songs to a playlist or create a new playlist if I create the playlist in ITunes.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

It should still be possible to sync with iTunes. See Sync iTunes content on PC with your devices - Apple Support and review your sync options and selections. If you don't already sync all music, then you likely need to add new playlists to your sync selection before they will be added.
