No way to play uploaded CDs without a subscription?

So, if I understand correctly, unless you pay a subscription (either Apple Music or iTunes Match) there is not way to play your uploaded CDs on anything except for the computer where your iTunes library resides. Do I have that correct?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

No. Not at all. Why do think this?


You can still sync your iTunes Library with an iOS device using iTunes/Finder. Same as always.


A paid subscription to Apple Music or iTunes Match will get you an iCloud Music Library where you can stream your library over the internet to your iOS device. Different features and they cost money to provide.
