All songs transfer from mac to iPad, but only some transfer to iphone, why?

I have been able to transfer all my music stored on mac to iPad but for reasons that escape me not all songs will likewise transfer to my iPhone. Whole albums transfer to the iPad, but only some songs for each album transfer to the iPhone. I am not signed up to Apple music, i have uploaded my own CD collection. How can i get whole albums to transfer from my mac to the iPhone?

Sync your music on the phone with no music selected, then sync again with music selected.
