Required to connect to wifi or cellular to play my muisc?

Why am I being required by iOS 14 to have wifi or cellular access to play songs that I have synced from my iMac? I never stream any content and I don't use the cloud for my music. Why would I get an error like this?


iPhone 7, iOS 14

Sync doesn’t mean download. You need to enable WiFi and tap on the download arrow to store the tracks on your phone. Once done, you can disable WiFi. This is the way it works.
