Music isn't saved "in iTunes". It is stored on your computer, devices, and backups, or your iCloud Music Library if you have an ongoing subscription to either iTunes Match or Apple Music. A standard iTunes account gives you access to your unhidden purchase history, nothing more. It is up to you to take steps to keep backup copies of your media or reclaim it from one device before replacing with another.
