Went from iPhone 12 Pro to 14 Pro Max, iOS 16.02, and transferring my 25000 songs failed miserably and every effort continues to fail. I had gotten up to 17000 songs transferred and it stalled and nothing fixed it and now I'm down to zero. Any hacks? How does one manually transfer them?

Where are these songs located you’re trying to transfer exactly? iTunes?

Yes, Apple Music. First attempt got up to 8000 and it stalled. Then I tried everything and then deleted all the music on the phone and started again and got to 17000 songs, then it stalled and nothing. So I did everything again and re-synched the library (so all the songs were gone again) and nothing is working at all so now I have zero songs on it. I just tried to manually do it by highlighting all 25K songs, right clicking and directing it to my "device" (phone). Nothing. FWIW, I have a MacBook Pro, 16 in, 2021, Monterrey 12.6.
