Ripped CD added to Apple Music on Windows not syncing to iPhone

I'm on a Lenovo Yoga running Windows 11. I used iTunes to rip a CD which it did correctly. I copied the album and pasted it into the subfolder of Apple Music labeled "Automatically Add to Apple Music. Nothing happened. I read user Turning Test's response to another user suggesting they try copying their file over to their Media folder which I performed. In my case, a "Not Copied" folder wasn't created within the Apple Music folder, just silence. I dragged and dropped the file into Apple Music and it shows and plays in Recently Added but it won't sync it into my iPhone. Do I need an Apple Music subscription to make this happen? Thanks.

Oh gosh, I just found the box unchecked for syncing music to my iPhone in the sidebar for Apple Devices. All 468 songs just synchronized to my phone. I guess this case can be marked closed.
