My music and iCloud
I have many CD's ripped and stored on my iMac. In fact, they were stored on my Time Machine at one point but... at least they were as they are now on my iCloud drive as far as I am aware.
I had always understood that whatever I had uploaded to my iCloud drive was accessible from any of my devices ie iPhone, iPad, iMac etc.
However it appears that when I try and access my music from these other devices, Music cannot see my "library". Reading Apple support notes it seems that I have to subscribe to Apple Music to access my music from these devices (other than the iMac).
Why do I have to pay Apple to access my music? Is there another way of doing this? Google Drive perhaps?
