apple music streaming

is it a must to add the song to my apple music library so it counts as a stream? or streaming the song without adding it to my library is correct?

What counts as a stream for Apple Music? I have seen so many questions and doubts and contradictory suggestions on this. Can we get proper clarification on what Apple Music counts as a stream? Since Apple Music is mixed with our own library... 1) Do we have to play a song directly from a search on Apple Music in order for a stream to count? 2) Do streams count if we play songs from a playlist we made? 3) Do streams count if we’ve added a song to our library (tapping the + icon next to a song)? Do streams count if we’ve downloaded the song (tapping the cloud icon next to it)? 4) Do streams count when playing songs we purchased from iTunes Store in our library? 5) Do streams count if we play a song repeatedly, such as using the repeat icon, or tapping the rewind/back/return player button, or playing it continuously on a playlist? 5) If we’re not connected to the internet, do the plays of songs in our library count as streams once we’re online?

Apple Music streaming I'm a little confused about streaming from my Music library using the Apple Music service. If I stream music from my home Mac Music library to my work Mac, will I be listening to the original track or to a matched track from the iCloud Music Library? Or is there a way to choose between the two? Thanks.

Not a Must. You decide, it’ll play both ways.
