When is music removed from Apple Music?

When is music removed from Apple Music? Is there a way to learn or be notified when music will be removed? My iTunes/iCloud Music Library is getting cluttered with entries for Apple Music that are no longer available.

Yeah, that's pretty problematic. Unfortunately, there's no way to know when the music gets removed.

It's easy to know when new music gets released because the artist usually announces it on their social media page.

But because nobody announces that they are removing music, nobody knows it's gone.

So until Apple releases RSS for iTunes, I guess we are all out of luck.
