Move from iTunes to Apple Music?

Hi

I currently have my music on iTunes. This includes music files and cd’s ripped to pc then iTunes.

if I move from iTunes to Apple Music will I be able to continue to play my own music files and CDs that have been ripped to my PC, on my iPhone and iPad as I normally do using Apple Music?

Hi

Thank you so much for your help it’s enabled me to make my decision on what to do next.

I think I’ll have to replace my old laptop pc with a new one. I was hoping to be able to get rid of my pc and go all apple. For the present I think that seems like it could cause me problems.

Thank you again for your valuable assistance.

Kind regards Kev.

Hi,

Apple music will scan your library to determine what songs will be matched or uploaded. The music on your computer will not be altered but you will now access music from Apple Music servers.

You will access matched or uploaded music using iCloud music library on your iPad and iPhone.

Use iCloud Music Library on PC - Apple Support
