Hi,

You only have access to iCloud Music library whilst you have an active iTunes Match or Apple Music subscription.

The principle function of iTunes Match is to provide a link with Apple servers and allow your music to be made available on your other devices for streaming or downloading. This is not a back up service.

Did you make a backup of your music before subscribing to iTunes Match?

Hi,

Is your music still on your hard drive or was the music only in the cloud when you cancelled iTunes Match.

If the music is still on your computer, you can still use the Music app to play the music. You don't need an Apple Music subscription to play your own music.

Hi Jim, thanks for your reaction!

no, I didn't make a backup; I never 'gave' my music to the cloud, i did it 'cause it was easy for that moment.

There is, for instance, some music from my bigband, i downloaded it by We Transfer, and put it on my computer and played it using iTunes; all the music from iTunes was copied to iTunes Match, without the possibility to get it back in the original iTunes.

I think that is illegal. 'cause I'm the owner of that music.......

I don't want to subscribe tot iTunes Match, 'cause that cost me money.......

Btw: are you connected to apple?
