I still use the Apple Music app with my own local files.

I turned off Apple Music (the steaming service), loaded everything into Apple Music (the app on macOS). I then plugged my phone into my laptop like it was 2007 and synced it over like an iPod. Everything works as expected. My music doesn’t change so much, so syncing hasn’t been an issue. I get a certain hit of nostalgia when syncing over the wire as well.

Automatic wi-fi syncing to iTunes still works fine as far as I know.

Huh, iTunes is not a thing anymore... so how would that work exactly? Genuine question, what do I miss here?

If you plug your iPhone on your Mac, you can click "show this iPhone on WiFi" in finder.

Then it’ll show up in Apple Music when connected on WiFi, and sync can happen this way.

It is on Windows.
