Is there a way to stop Apple Music from changing versions while syncing?

When I add a song from the album Purple Rain, it sounds great on my computer, but when it syncs across my devices, Apple Music matches it to the remastered version from 2015, which sounds terrible. Is there no way around this? Can't it sync the version I have on my computer?

Thanks

Dolby Atmos version of previously downloaded tracks (iTunes Match) I have been using iTunes match since release and my library has an array of songs that have come from CDs, purchases etc. Recently I started subscribing to Apple Music. What I want to know is whether there is a way to get an Apple Music version (including Atmos) of a track that has matched before using iTunes Match but there is an Atmos version on Apple Music. I have tried deleting download and re-downloading but doesnt appear to get Atmos version as the icon isnt showing on the playing screen. Is there any other way to 'refresh' tracks rather than adding a duplicate Apple Music version? I tried sharing playlist with myself as I know that forces Apple Music version for other people but that didnt work eiter.

Apple Music Last Played Not Updating from iOS to MacBook I updated to Sonoma sometime last week and ever since my MacBook is no longer updating my play counts between my phone's Apple Music and MacBook's. I played the new Beatles song like 30 times on my phone but it hasn't counted it (or anything else) since November 6. Only when I play songs on my MacBook's Apple Music will it update play count/last played. In the words of John: "Help!"
