On a Mac Studio using Music I have songs in smart playlists that are grayed out. The songs meet the definitions for the playlists. They play when clicked. The grayed out songs don't transfer to other devices when synching but all the other songs do sync. The media for these playlists are on an external disk.
Mac Studio (2022)
Unchecked songs are usually excluded from syncing. Try right-clicking on a set of greyed out songs and see if the option Check or Tick Selection appears. If so select it and see if that resolves things. Note that you can check or uncheck all tracks in the current view by Ctrl/Cmd-clicking a check box, which is the kind of thing you can do accidentally.

Thanks. It works to check the selection to un-gray it. But I don't see any checkmark boxes anywhere in playlist view. After I checked a few selections, some others became un-gray as well. BTW, there were normal entries in the playlists as well.
Thanks again
Grayed out songs play but don't transfer
