Ripped Music all of a sudden won't Sync in iTunes

My music library has remained mostly unchanged over the past decade. As I buy new PCs and new iPhones everything has transferred until recently. There are a few of the Albums that when transferred are now grayed out on my phone and when I try to play them I get a pop-up that says "This song is currently not available in your country or region". One thing I've noticed is that several of these albums are not in the iTunes store.

I currently have an iPhone 12.

Any Thoughts?

I have experienced this a few times in the past too. I have found that part of the syncing process has gone wrong and you need to resync those unavailable songs/albums by temporarily changing the album title (say add 'xxx' to the end) and resync your music back to your phone again so it has to update those songs/albums on your phone. Try to play those same songs/albums again and it should work. Then you need to change the album title back to normal again and resync once more. Yes, this a pain in the backside but it should work. Good luck!

You're a genius, thank you !! I've been trying to figure this out for days with no luck until now. I had one album in particular (wouldn't doubt if there were others) that wouldn't sync. Read your post, changed the album name and voila. It's all there ! VERY much appreciate you sharing this info !

Thank You! Strange thing is I changed a couple of names to try it out and which worked but all the others that weren’t syncing did as well without changing the name.
