Music Library on Windows PC now unavailable without Apple Music subscription?
Years ago I ripped hundreds of my CDs to iTunes on our Windows PC (because my Mac didn't have a CD drive). The Music Library would sync to my Mac, iPad, and iPhone, as I was logged into all with my Apple ID. I did not have an Apple Music subscription at that time, and it synced beautifully. A year or so ago I took an Apple Music subscription to share a playlist temporarily. I cancelled that subscription recently. Since I cancelled my subscription, I can no longer access my Music Library on my Apple devices. All that music in my Library I ripped is trapped on the Windows device, but will not sync to my Apple/IOS devices. It seems as though Apple now wants me to pay to listen to my own music which is already ripped on iTunes on the PC. Something must have changed during the past year when I was paying Apple monthly, and didn't notice the change. Seems iTunes for Windows and an Apple ID, with ICloud turned on is not enough to sync a music library, unless I purchased the music directly from Apple. Is there a way I can access this Music Library without paying Apple?
