Is my complete iTunes music library available in the cloud? I have a new computer and can'y find my complete music library in Itunes on the new computer.
It would only be available in the cloud if you subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, and had turned on iCloud Music library in iTunes preferences or you had uploaded it manually to a cloud service. Otherwise no.
If you still have your old computer, you can copy your library from it to the new computer. See here: Make a split library portable - Apple Community

Thanks so much. I subscribed to iTunes Match and it worked. Now the music on my newer PC shows with a cloud symbol with an arrow next to each song. Do I need to download each song? Or is that automatic? What I want to ultimately do is sync my iPod with iTunes on the newer PC.
Thanks for your help.
You would need to download the songs manually. The cloud icon means they are currently in the cloud and not physically on your computer.
if you cancel iTunes match, songs that are not downloaded will stop being available. So make sure everything is downloaded to your computer and backed up before even thinking of cancelling the iTunes Match subscription.

Thanks again. I have some work ahead of me but happy I solved the question.
Thanks so much. It took a while because I have a lot of music. But your suggestion worked and the iPod is finally synced with all of my music from the cloud.
Glad it worked out. You are welcome.
