The manual synchronization model for purchased music is one-way: from a "master iTunes/Music library residing on a Mac or PC, to an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. It is only possible to sync against one computer at a time. If you synchronize a mobile device against one computer, and then against a second, all of the music from the first computer is wiped from the mobile device, and none of it is uploaded to the second computer.

There was an exception to this for music purchased for the iTunes Store.
If you subscribe to iTunes Match, or if you subscribe the Apple Music subscription service and use Sync Library, then you might be able to synchronize or stream purchased music to other devices.

Are you using Apple Music? That tries to match music that you have ripped from CD. Let me see if I can find some additional information about that, but it has something to do with Apple Music trying to match those selections. There is some setting to use, but I cannot remember it. I've had troubles with mine as well at times, and it is especially harder since I moved over to the Mac.

Because music in your library was synced over from your computer, generally iTunes. You would need to connect it to your computer and sync that downloaded music to your device.
