Will I lose my playlists when I cancel Apple Music?

I know if I cancel my subscription, I would lose the downloaded tracks, and will keep only those I individually purchased in iTunes.

But, after years of collecting songs and putting them in to lists; will these dissappear forever from my account?


In case I would re-subscribe to A M, would my old play lists still be there with the songs in it? Like, would they be stand-by untill I start my subscription again?

Hey Markus,


Thanks for posting this question about Apple Music in conjunction with your music playlists. I'd be glad to give you info on this.


When you cancel your Apple Music subscription, the library of items downloaded during the subscription is removed, so playlists that contain those items are removed as well. If you decide to resubscribe at a later date, you'll need to download those items again.


Hope that helps!


Have a great day.
