Sync Library is greyed out in Music app and nonexisistent in iPhone settings

The Apple help article is useless because Sync Library is greyed out in the Music app on Mac and does not exist in Music settings on iPhone. 2/3 of my music is gone from my iPhone but still on Mac. Apple has no support documentation addressing this.

Syncing iPhone and Apple Music - weirdness ensues When I turn sync, it appears to be trying and then turns syncing off and I get the following comment: Sync libary not enabled. Syncing Libraries would put you over the song limit. delete music from this iphone and tray again or delete the other library and replace it with this one I have: -turned the phone on and off -deleted the music app and reinstalled -turned off music on the iCloud and then turned it back on -on my computers I have roughly 92,0000 songs in Apple Music so it should work. The advisors are not sure what to do and find this very interesting.

Apple Music “Sync library not enabled” When I try to turn on sync library I am prompted with the following message “syncing libraries would put you over the song limit. Delete music from this I phone and try again, or delete the other library and replace it with this one” I have no music currently downloaded on this I phone, I am not sure where to go to delete said “music on this I phone” I tried resetting my phone already but no luck.

Do you have an active subscription to either the Apple Music or iTunes Match services? If not then those controls are not expected to appear, and you would typically sync media to your device using Finder. If needs be see this post on erratic syncing.
