iPhone 17 Pro Apple Music library deletes songs when adding new ones

Apple Music library on iPhone deleted when adding new songs


Hi all, I recently encountered an issue with my music library on a new iPhone 17 Pro. I have a local music database on the phone, which I transferred from my old phone. Occasionally I add or remove songs. When I add songs I simply drag and drop them from my Mac music library onto the iPhone. This adds the songs to my phone. However, recently this also results in deletion of the older music files on my iPhone. Only the newly trasferred songs will be present. What am I missing here? It used to work fine in the past (new songs were added to the library without affecting the older tracks.
