Purchased iTunes music without Apple Music subscription / questions I have purchased a large number of songs and albums from iTunes over 14+ years along with downloading my own CD's into my music library. 1) If I join Apple Music will my prior music purchase collections combine with the subscription music ? I do not want my play lists altered or manipulated. 2) If I join then later decide to discontinue Apple Music subscription is there risk of my purchased and personal music collection being removed with the Apple subscribed music service ? I am on the fence about multiple subscription services and would greatly appreciate any help or advice you may offer.

It show as downloaded but it’s also showing in hidden music, but if I unhide it the icon changes to downloaded then switches back the cloud icon and it then stays in hidden music.
