what happened to the "cloud status" in music

Still getting used to the changes in Music vs iTunes, What happened to the "Cloud Status"? While music still alows you to add a column I can't figure out how to "add songs to the cloud". Used to be a simple right click, but that option has been removed. Is apple getting away from "matching" tracks and just uploading the file as the user uploads it?

No cloud status icon after adding Match / Songs not adding to iCloud I paid for iTunes Match so that I could try and get the DRM removed from songs I bought back pre-2009 that are "Protected AAC" and also to have a cloud-based backup of my music. Here's the problem: I'm getting a status of "Uploaded" or "Matched" without a cloud symbol, which appears to mean that it isn't actually backing up to the cloud. Here's an example where you can see the cloud symbol next to a status for some songs, but no cloud symbol for other ones: There is definitely a difference in how songs with a cloud symbol are saving versus songs without a symbol. For instance, if I try and delete a song with a cloud symbol, I get: If I delete it from the library it still shows up as able to be re-downloaded. If I try and delete a song without the cloud symbol, I get the following: How do I fix this?

Still cannot upload music onto Cloud Some song files I have added to my iTunes won't get uploaded on my cloud I have done the following: ensured 'Sync Library' is ticked under Music> Preferences restarted computer Ensured latest IOS update has been downloaded Removed songs from iTunes and re-uploaded them to try again Checked my internet connection (was sufficient to download and reinstall latest IOS update) When looking at the 'Updating Cloud Music Library' status wheel, I can see that it gets to about 95% complete quickly, but then nothing happens (and on a couple of occasions I've let it go for several hours). Eventually, there is no more activity, but many (not all) of my recently added songs still have a cloud alongside them

Songs are still showing the "cloud" symbol but I no longer get the download option Just migrated from an older Windows 10 PC to a new one. In iTunes, most if not all of the songs had the "cloud" symbol showing. Initially I was able to mark many of the songs that I wanted to download, right-clicked on the highlighted list, and was given the "download" option. It worked well. Now, I still have a lot of songs that are still showing the "cloud" symbol but I no longer get the download option. If I play the song, then I get the download option.' How do continue to download all these songs? [Edited by Moderator]
