I was able to fix this myself. I checked the import settings and changed them from ACC iTunes plus to Apple Lossless then erased and recopied the CD then synced in the finder. I don't know why that worked but it did.

This is two a Step Process (To sync music from this computer, turn off Cloud Music Library)

  1. Apple Music: Import music (MP3) to Apple Music Library on Mac
