Richard,Thanks for this. It may have answered my question. I subscribe to Apple Music and can not get all of my library music from my laptop (Windows) onto my iPhone 6. When I sync, nothing is transferred. I have music all the time through streaming, but only if I have phone reception (or home wifi). And in the country, that works just fine and dandy until I hit a black spot. I just want my music, on my phone that I can play – whether I am in Rhynie (home), or Black Springs or in the Simpson desert. Can you help me please. Happy to become a paying client. Regards, Matzy …
