disparity between Mac OS and iOS apple music libraries

i'm a beats subscriber who migrated to apple music. the beats FAQ said everything would transfer. slowly but surely, my playlists, etc., have been making their way into apple music.

the library has taken longer.

however, i am now discovering disparity between the library on my mac and my iOS devices.

for example, my mac shows 10 albums under ryan adams, including several i had added to my library via the beats streaming service. on my iPhone, there are only 4 ryan adams albums listed under my music-- the ones that i've purchased.

i think that all 10 should be displaying there, as well as anything else i select to add to my library.

and i can't figure out what's happening.

i have tried toggling the iCloud music library on my phone, and it's still not mirroring the library on my computer.

any ideas how to fix this?

Just give time. The problem may fix itself, especially being that Apple's iCloud service was down for quite some time yesterday.

Re: disparity between Mac OS and iOS apple music libraries

still no change / improvement. is your iOS device mirroring your Mac OS iTunes library?
