Q: IPhone 5s - music transfer from iPhone5S (not backup) to iCloud - How?
Had iPod Classic and the music was downloaded from my iMac/ iTunes music library. iPod died. Now have iPhone 5s and have downloaded music from my iTunes library. Capacity is getting short on the iPhone. Purchased 200 GB storage in iCloud. How do I transfer music from phone to iCloud thus freeing up phone capacity and still be able to connect to music on iCloud when I'm out and about?
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.2

Hello rccjr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you would like to move your music stored on the iPhone to the Cloud in order to free up space. The feature for this is called iTunes Match, and it does not use your iCloud Storage. iTunes Match will allow up to 25,000 songs to be stored in the Cloud, and be available to stream or download onto any iOS device, Apple TV, Mac, or PC. To learn more about iTunes Match please take a look at the links below.
