Apple Watch Ultra 2 not downloading Music I own from iPhone.

Yeah the music all plays fine and syncs with both my iPhone and MacBook.

Before the OS26 updates it synced fine on my watch as well. It was annoyingly slow, Taking roughly a week to get about 60-70 albums (over 30GB) but it did work, going back 3 different Apple Watches.

I have only just this week signed up with Apple Music subscription. Basically as a test for troubleshooting. I have always been able to download music from my library (ripped from CDs, downloaded from Bandcamp, etc) and listen to them when I go on bike rides without my phone. its only been just recently that it won't download to my watch.

I think I have narrowed down the problem to the watch app. this is the only thing I can't change. I think they broke it sometime around the OS26 update and I really wish they would fix it. I know I am probably in a very small minority. just sucks that features have been removed months after purchasing this watch specifically marketed to active people.
