Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I signed up for Apple Music.
I go to iTunes and select Sign In.
Sign in with the Apple ID I used to subscribe.
I go back to that drop down and it still shows Sign In. Does not show Account Information.
Trying to learn how to Apple Music but nothing working correctly for me.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Apple Music is the name for Apple's music subscription service. It can also be used to refer to the Music app on computers running the macOS 10.15 Catalina operating system and iOS devices. In Catalina it, and new apps for TV, Podcasts along with Finder and Books, take over the functions of iTunes. See What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support for more.
When you sign into iTunes (or Music) with your Apple ID on a computer, iOS device, etc. you will have access to locally stored content and any unhidden purchases with cloud links from which they can be streamed or downloaded. iTunes Match extends this ability to stream or download to the rest of the music in your library. Apple Music goes further and lets you add other content from the iTunes Store to use in the same way for as long your subscription remains active.
iCloud Music Library is the older term for Sync Library. Turn iCloud Music Library on in iTunes from iTunes > Preferences > General tab and on your device. Any content you add to one device should appear on the other. In general life is easier if you have a single Apple ID, but having different IDs for iTunes (and related services) and iCloud shouldn't cause a problem as long as iCloud Music Library (iTunes Match or Apple Music) is attached to your iTunes Apple ID.

Hi Norm Harris!
I understand that you're unable to sign in to Apple Music, and I'm happy to help. Please try to sign in at the following website, and let us know the results:
Cheers!
I signed in with that Apple ID. Like many folks, I seem to have many Apple IDs.
Back to problem.... When I go to iTunes and select "For You" in the upper middle of page, it shows apple icon and Music. That's all.
I've now paid for 3 months of Apple Music and still don't know how to log in and don't even know what I get with Apple Music. Not a good situation. ;) LOL
Thanks for any suggestions.
I still need to find out about Apple Music. What it does? What are differences from iTunes? Does it change iTunes Match?
So I followed those instructions:
On my iPhone there is a "Show Apple Music" and "iCloud Music Library" among others but no "Sync Library"
On my Mac, I don't have a "Music" app. I have iTunes.
Also, my Apple ID for iTunes and Apple Music is different than my Apple ID for iCloud. Does that cause any issues?
Thanks much for the help.

I guess I need to call Apple Support.
Your links have helped but I still can't find my subscriptions and I can't sign into iTunes but as far as I know I'm subscribed to both Apple Music and iTunes Match.
Thanks for the help.
See Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music - Apple Support. You might see iCloud Music Library rather than Sync Library.

Apple Music does all that iTunes Match does and more. See Subscribe to iTunes Match - Apple Support for more.

Thanks very, very much. Very helpful.
What does Match pickup that Apple Music doesn't? I didn't follow that part of your post. Thanks.
Is there still no way to combine Apple IDs?
You're welcome. Hope they get you sorted quickly.
