Songs on iPhone 5s not on iTunes?

I just recently noticed that some of the songs on my iPhone 5s are not in my iTunes Library on my Macbook. I have 981 songs on my iPhone and only 974 (Including voice memos) on my Mac iTunes Library.

It has nothing to do with the 'Show All Music' option in Settings on my iPhone because i turned that off.

(p.s sorry if this is in the wrong category)

You really need to STOP downloading music onto the phone. Download only onto the Mac.

To copy files from a phone to a Mac hard drive, use any of the options below.

  • What to do with songs that are not in the iPhone but iTunes says they're there? Basically they had been converted from ORIGINAL CDs to mp3, if all the songs on the disc were "damaged" and impossible to load them in the iphone I'd understand, but there are albums that only have 2 or 3 songs out of 15. If I try to play them in my iTunes library they sound fine, as well if I play them on my iphone trough itunes, but when I look for them on the iphone, they're not there. Any suggestions?
  • Songs showing up on iTunes but not iPhone 5? I went to listen to a specific album on my iPhone 5 and noticed I only have 3 songs from it. So I went into iTunes and put the album back on to the phone. When I look at the phone through iTunes the album shows up with all the songs. However, when I look on my phone I still only have the 3 songs. They work if I create AAC versions but I don't want to do that and take up the extra space. How can I fix this?
  • Some songs are not transferring from iTunes to my iPhone 5S? On a website I found where I can download free songs, put them on iTunes (I made a playlist), and add them to my iPhone. From my iTunes playlist, I right click and add them where it says my name and "iPhone". Recently, some songs that I want are not added to my phone when I do this. Why is that?
