Where is your library exactly?


If on a PC or Mac computer, see here: link-> Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support


If using Apple Music subscription service: see here: link-> Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music - Apple Support

If you synced the music using iTunes as explained in the link I posted, your music is in the Music App.


Look for this icon on your iPhone:



Your music should be there under Library:

iCloud accounts are all free to get. You get 5GB of storage.


The Apple Music subscription does not use your iCloud account storage for the matched and uploaded music.

As Lawrence mentions you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPhone and its free. The music will be copied onto the device and can be played without paying anything. Follow the steps in my first link.


If you use Apple Music, then you need to pay for the subscription, not to play your own music, but to access the service. Its just that the subscription has a feature were it takes all your music from your computer uploads it to iCloud and then makes it available to your other devices.


Each feature is independent of each other. If you use one, you don't need to use the other. So if you synced using iTunes, then you don't need to use Apple Music and as such you don't need to pay for anything.


@Lawrence Finch:


Thanks.
