Error message makes my iPhone stop syncing, losing most of my music library.

I have been trying, unsuccessfully to sync my iPhone 15 to my computer. In the past, it was fine. However, now I receive this error message for many song titles. I know the songs are in the library because I can play them in iTunes on my computer, but I cannot sync them to music in my iPhone. This was a problem before, and I was able to create some type of work around, but now it is happening again. Please assist if you can.


Here's the error message (Understand this message can be for any number of different titles. This is just the one I saved.)


“Take Another Look (Instrumental)” could not be copied to the iPhone “Thomas M Stafford’s iPhone” because an unknown error occurred (-3234).


However, it is usually for a song that I have recorded myself and sent to music via GarageBand or Logic.


Thank you


iPhone 15, iOS 18
