Apple one. Can I keep ITunes Match if Apple Music is included in Apple one?

I currently have iTunes Match. I am considering the apple one premiere family plan. I DO NOT want to give up the music in my iTunes Match library. By subscribing to Apple One, will Apple Music replace my iTunes Match , and delete my library Or can I have both ?

Apple Music is a superset of the features of iTunes Match. If you have Apple Music, which is included in Apple One, then you don't need to continue your subscription to iTunes Match. Both use iCloud Music Library to store your matched/uploaded songs and playlists. Switching from one service to the other shouldn't affect your cloud library, but you should nonetheless have a complete offline copy of your library as a backup.

As superset is the opposite of a subset.


To be on the safe side make sure that all content is stored locally on at least one computer and backed up before making changes to your subscriptions. If you currently subscribe to both Apple Music and iTunes Match then you can cancel iTunes Match with no impact on your library. If on the other hand you cancel Apple Music any Apple Music content you obtained via the subscription will become invalid. Your purchased, matched, and uploaded music should stay in place.
