HOW to OFFLINE music transfer in Apple Music between Mac and iphone without itunes?

I am an Apple Music subscriber. My Mac and iphone sync just fine at home on wifi. I DO NOT USE THE CLOUD TO STORE MY MUSIC, I download it locally to the Mac. I have downloads from apple music, plus my owned, personal music files, all managed in the Music app. Again, I have no trouble syncing the two devices at home on wifi. However.....


******I work in remote locations for weeks at a time without internet*******


¿¿¿How do I use Apple Music to transfer the music I have locally on the Mac's HD, an album or playlist at a time, to the iphone WITHOUT WIFI???


Everything I've found online when I search says to just plug the iphone in with usb and transfer in itunes, but there is no itunes anymore, only the itunes STORE.

First see What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support which should explain how Music (the app) and Finder have replaced iTunes in macOS 10.15 and later.


See Use the Finder to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support for details of how to use Finder to add music to your device over a local USB connection.


Note however that you cannot transfer locally stored Apple Music subscription content from your computer to your device. The expectation with Apple Music is that each library or device is signed into your Apple ID and you will Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices - Apple Support. Once your device can see your cloud library you can download any content that you wish to it using Wi-Fi so that it is available for offline use when you don't have access to Wi-Fi or a suitable cellular data plan.


Apple Music will have matched or uploaded your own locally stored music when you enabled Apple Music in the library.
