Is there anything more recent? I have looked and googled everywhere I can think of
The principle is the same. You import your songs to iTunes and sync them to your phone.
I gather you’re not an Music subscriber, so you’ll have to disable Music and iCloud Music Library in your iPhone settings.
Edit: sorry, I got this thread confused with another thread I just replied to.
To listen to your own downloaded songs in Music you have to go to the Library tab in Music.app, tap ‘edit’ in the upper right, enable the ‘Downloaded Music’ list and start listening to songs from that playlist. That way you won’t stream anything that’s not already offline available on your iPhone.
