Siri tries to play albums via Apple Music instead of playing them locally

seri will not play album locally on my iPhone. Tries to connect to Apple Music.


Apple music is not shown in Apple Music. I don’t use it.

Music that resides on my iPhone. Most was added through iTunes from PC. The music that seri has problems with are albums that I bought and digitized. Now some of them, somehow need to be downloaded from Apple Music. It also has problems with some albums that are on my iPhone, even though I have played them numerous times by selecting them from my library manually.


I did have Apple Music for a free trail, but it ended a year or so ago.
