Apple Music song count

I'm trying to determine how many songs were uploaded to the iCloud from iTunes. I'm looking on my new MacBook Air and cannot determine how many are in the Apple Music app on my laptop. How do I see that?

thanks

MacBook, macOS 10.14

Distinguish between songs I've ripped from CDs and music I've added to my library via my subscription. History: I have ripped 2000+ CDs worth of music, that I've collected over the last 40 years, to my Library in Apple Music. I also have an Apple Music subscription and add music to my library via the Download to Library/Playlist option. Question: Using the Songs List view in the library, how do/can I distinguish between what I've added via ripping and what I've downloaded, but not yet purchased to own? I know there is the icloud icon, but my understanding is it only shows what's in the cloud that hasn't been downloaded to a device. Point: I'd like to sort my Songs List by what is in my Apple Music Library and what I own and on my hard drive. That would allow me to more quickly go through what I don't own and purchase what I want. Or, does this go against Apple's business model that wants us to buy devices with more storage space or purchase more iCloud storage? Then again, maybe I'm too old and there's fewer of us that like to actually "own" our music. If there is not way to do this via Apple Music, there should be. I like to listen to/explore a variety of music genres - some of which I will never remember later. I'd like to occasionally evaluate the music I've "downloaded" and "purchase" what I want so it is in a more permanent library. Under Apple Music, if you unsubscribe you lose access to what you've downloaded to your library. Life can get hectic; oftentimes, a song or group doesn't resonate with me after just a few plays, but once I gain an appreciation for them I'd like to support them by purchasing their music. The question may have gotten lost, but I'd appreciate a response if you have an answer. If there is no answer, maybe Apple can work on providing an option if enough people agree. Thanks in advance.

Use View > Show Status Bar to see a count for the current view. If needs be create a smart playlist that identifies the tracks you want to count.
