[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1676261, member: 24160"] You can mix Apple Music and your local music in a playlist and have it sync to your iDevice. I'm not sure what James may have that is not "eligible". The only things in My Music that are not eligible are things like the "digital booklets" that come with some albums (like the free U2 album they gave away - typically pics, lyrics and other info) and some free iTunes "samplers" that came with a DVD like interface you could use to interact with the music. In those cases - the individual songs can be added to the playlist and have it sync across devices - but not the "album" which includes the booklets/other media that came with it. iTunes also gives you a popup when you attempt to add something to a playlist that is not eliglble, telling you if you proceed that playlist will be removed from iCloud and be an iTunes only playlist. I also have some old blues with no idea of the artist - those are not eligible either. James, you can pretty easily find the items that are not eligible by switching your view in 'My Music' to songs and scrolling down the list to find those that have the 'no icloud' symbol next to them. When most of the time the syncing between devices is almost instantaneous, it can be frustrating when that does not happen. I've seen the forced syncing be as easy as powering your iDevice on and off. As hard as turning off iCloud syncing in iTunes preferences and back on, then waiting through it resyncing "everything" again. It could be up to waiting till the next day - sometimes two days later when it all suddenly appears and no amount of trying to force a sync would work. And of course, Apple has not put a "sync to iCloud" button available anywhere to quickly force sync - so instead you have to play the above games. [/QUOTE]
