I have music purchased from iTunes and downloaded to my windows computer along with music from CD in my Windows iTunes software. I sync my iPhone with my computer. What happens if I don't keep paying for iTunes Match? Will I lose anything?
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17
You will lose anything apart from iTunes Store purchases that isn't currently downloaded to your computer or device, and changes made on either will no longer sync automatically to the other. In iTunes make a smart playlist with the rule location is not on this computer and selectively download everything until the list is empty. Backup your library to an external hard drive. Only then cancel your subscription.

Thank you for the recommendation! I believe everything is on the computer and I have the library backup on a 2T SSD also. That said, I will definitely try your playlist to see if it shows anything. 👍🏻
