Thank you for being part of the Apple Community!
My understanding is you are wanting to have all of your music stored locally on your MacBook. This is great for listening when you may not have an internet connection. It also gives you another place to have your music library. It's always good to have multiple copies of your important files.
Basically what you want is to download your music to listen to offline.
On your Mac or PC
- In iTunes, find the item that you want to download in the My Music or Playlists tab. You can't download items to listen to offline from the iTunes Store.
- Click the cloud icon to the right of the song's name, on the album cover, or to the right of the playlist's name.
Songs and albums appear under the My Music tab. Playlists appear in the Playlists tab, under Apple Music Playlists in the sidebar.
View just songs, albums, and playlists that you downloaded to your device
- iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch: In the My Music tab, tap Library. Then tap any of the different views (Artists, Albums, etc.), and turn on Only Offline Music. A message that says "Showing only music on this [device]. Show All Music." appears at the top of the screen. Tap Show All Music to see all of your music.
- Mac: In iTunes, from the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose View > Only Offline Music. A message that says "Showing only music on this computer. Show all music." appears at the top of the screen. Click "Show all music" to see all of your music.
- Windows: Hold down the Control and B keys on your keyboard to open the iTunes menu bar. Choose View > Only Offline Music. A message that says "Showing only music on this computer. Show all music." appears at the top of the screen. Click "Show all music" to see all of your music.
Additional information is available here:
Add music from the Apple Music catalog to your library on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC
You can also have the entire music library sync to multiple devices. This would automatically update your systems everytime you added music to your library.
Sync Apple Music across your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and computer
Have a great day!
