I was on the phone with Apple support for about an hour today. Evidently, if you have bought a song on ITunes , and later get an Apple Music subscription - sync the libraries, if the Artist or publisher pulls the song from Apple Music, you lose the ability to play the song on your devices. Is there a was to retrieve ITunes purchases from 2003 that are no longer available on Apple Music?
Hi,
See Redownload music – Apple Support (UK). However, irrespective of whether you have a subscription or not and you were relying on streaming, the tracks are normally not available to re-download if the copyright holder removes them from iTunes Store. Apple has alway recommended that you keep a backup of your iTunes purchases.

When you recommend a backup copy of the music, are you referring to a permanent backup - CD for example? To be clear, the music in question was downloaded in my music library one day and not available (missing - greyed out) after synchronising to Apple Music.
iTunes purchases unavailable after subscribing to Apple Music
