User level: Level 1 (4 points)I have downloaded a lot of apple music thru the years and transfer songs to my flash drive to play in my car. Now you can't buy music from apple and the only music that I can transfer are songs that I actually purchased. Is there any way that I can move some of the non-purchased music to my flash drive

You can still buy music from the iTunes Store. And no, you can't transfer non-purchased music.

You definitely can buy music from the iTunes Store.
However, when Apple replaced the iTunes application with the Music application, they changed the user interface around a bit. In iTunes, on High Sierra, it was very obvious where the iTunes Store was. In Music, on Ventura, the iTunes Store appeared to be completely missing.
Turns out that you have to go into Music > Settings… (General tab), and check off "Show: [X] iTunes Store". That was turned off by default, which is why it looked like the iTunes Store was missing. After you check that box, you'l see a Store / iTunes Store item in the Music window sidebar, and an iTunes Store button when doing searches.
