Apple Music does not sync music. The Apple Music app on Mac and on Windows just plays music.


If you are referring to the Apple Music subscription service, it can sync music if you turn on iCloud Music on a computer and iOS devices, but syncs it content from a base computer to iCloud which is then made available to others devices. It will not remove anything from iOS devices though.


You should however if the iPhone is the only place the music is on, extract it, and back it up. You will need a 3rd party app for this.
