Is the music purchased in iTunes truly ours?

I am thinking in cancel my subscription of Apple Music and iTunes, reason: I have purchased several music albums, I payed for them, but I can’t put my purchased music to my Sony walkman. Is the music bought in iTunes truly mine or not? Then, why I can’t transfer my purchased music to my Hi-Res Player?

iTunes music I haven't purchased any music for quite some time, but the music I purchased is still available through iTunes on my PC. If I cancel the subscription, will I still be able to open iTunes and access my purchased music?

Previously purchased music and videos I've finally managed to access my purchased music on iTunes, but only by signing up for a subscription. I don't want a subscription, so when I cancel it, will I still be able to play the music I've paid for? I don't use Apple products, so will the Apple Music app still allow me access?

Will my past purchased songs be unaffected if I cancel Apple Music I’m currently trying out Apple Music with a free trial but I probably won’t keep it. I know that canceling means losing the songs I downloaded through the Apple Music service. (I was planning to buy the albums/songs I enjoyed later anyway) But I have 13 years worth of iTunes purchases and cd songs in my library. If i cancel Apple Music those songs will still be okay, right? It’s only the music I downloaded and streamed through Apple Music that I’ll lose access to, until I purchase them? I just want to be sure. Also I just got my first iPhone a year ago, does cancelling Apple Music effect the ability to “sync library” across devices?

Sony has instructions on how to load the device with music purchased from the iTunes store on this page. Have you tried these steps?
