Music not syncing with Apple TV

I've "burned" C/D's to Apple Music on my iMac and have successfully synced them to my iPad and iPhone. However, the music does not sync to my four Apple 4k TV's. I do have "Home Sharing" toggled on for my iMac and all Apple TV's and all of these devices are running on the same network. I do not subscribe to Apple Music or Apple Music Match. Any suggestions to help me get my music synced to my Apple TV's would be appreciated.

You will only see your personal collection in the Music app on Apple TV if you are subscribed to either Apple Music or Match. If you are just using home sharing then you would need to use the Computers app on Apple TV. The computer would need to remain on, as it needs to be able to access that library over the local network.
