Apple Music Library Storage

I am very unhappy with Music being my music library. I have saved songs on my iPhones for years, and especially with ios14 my stored songs and playlists got dropped and/or moved (about 1000 of them). These are songs I burned from CDs and bought from iTunes. As far as I am concerned they are my songs, and if I would like to store them on MY iPhone to play when I want to hear it, I should be able to do so. A week ago I tried to play a Gordon Lightfoot song or two while traveling where there is no cell service... I had saved about 15 of his songs on my old iPhone.. NONE. I started this new iPhone without iCloud so it will not mess with my library (I buy my iPhones with a lot of storage so I don't need iCloud). This if frustrating to the point of buying other than Apple.

About streaming music - I tried a free offer - do not care for it. As you can see I HAD a large library of songs I liked. I did not try to save or buy any from that trial offer. Any suggestions other than dumping Apple?

Management of the location of songs in iTunes Mac Hello everyone, I just made a fantastic new discovery: when I drag a song into the iTunes window, regardless of the Preferences chosen, the song will go into a "music" folder, rather than surreptitiously going to store nicely in the artist's folder already present in my base folder. Same when I have to search for a song that has lost its link. In addition, impossible to register as before additional information in the tag of the piece: it will not be found in the same piece, but I discover on closer inspection, that are in the same folder: the piece of original plus a copy of the song with the addition I made!!! Morality, I have already evacuated, ONE AT A TIME (sic!) 2 T of duplicates, while pieces continue to be added to this famous 'music' folder. I've been in a divorce from iTunes for two ages now and of course no one on the hotline seems to know about any of this, so any observations haven't been escalated to the devs, the problems persist, and worse, they're getting worse . How do you do, those like me who have to go through the throes of this program which should be our beloved Apple's best ever? Thank you for your attention and all the best.
