Re-importing CD songs to iPhone

I recently accidentally deleted a number of songs from my iPhone. Some of them were purchases from the iTunes Store, and I was able to figure out how to restore them. Others however were from ripped CDs. The songs are still available in my iTunes account on my PC, but when I try to add them to my iPhone nothing happens. Other songs from CDs that weren’t on my phone before are transferred with no issue, but the songs I had deleted don’t transfer. How can I solve this?

Hello Jumpin_Jack_Flash,

We understand that you're trying to re-sync content to your iPhone that originated from a CD, but the songs that had been on your iPhone previously aren't coming over. Just to confirm with you, were these the steps that you were taking to sync?
