Q: iCloud Music Library??
I purchase all of my music from iTunes. no CD rips or imports...all iTunes based.
So when i have iCloud Music library disabled in iTunes and select 'Show iCloud Music Purchases' I can see all of my iTunes music purchases (iTunes in the cloud) and choose to download them or not.
When i enable iCloud Music Library all of them disappear and have no items.
How does this work?
would it not show my iTunes purchases by default?
or do i have to download all the music first – then iCloud Music Library will take it from there?

iCloud Music Library is used in conjunction with iTunes Match, or Apple Music, or both. Your iTunes purchases that you do not have downloaded are stored in iTunes in the Cloud which is not the same thing as iCloud Music Library.
Here is an article that may clarify things:

Both Apple Music and iTunes Match are subscription services.
