    Apple Music tracks will only play for active subscribers.

    It is like renting a movie on iTunes. Even though you downloaded the music file it doesn't belong to you. You rent your music tracks and as long as you are subscribed you can listen to them. When you aren't subscribed or in your case, when your trial period runs out you'll have no longer access to apple music files.

    After the Apple Music trial has ended, you’ll still see any songs you have saved appear in your library. However they will be greyed out and will not play. They will remain in your library for 30 days in case you decide to re-activate the Apple Music service, you won't have to save them again. After 30 days the songs will be removed from your library. You wouldn’t be charged for anything, unless you select to purchase that specific song/album from itunes.
