there is NOTHING in my itunes and it looks like itunes is no longer the music app. So how do I get access to all my purchased music for over 10 years?
Windows, Windows 10
If you have not begun using the Apple Music app, referred to by varjak paw, then perhaps the issue is that your iTunes has "lost" the content after a crash or upgrade.

I ALREADY PURCHASED MY MUSIC IN ITUNES. APPLE MUSIC REQUIRES A MONTHLY FEE. I ALWAYS USED ITUNES TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC I PURCHASED. THE ITUNES DOWNLOAD DOESNT WORK ON MY DESKTOP.
MORE THAN 10 YEARS IVE BEEN BUYING MUSIC FROM ITUNES. I NEED ACCESS TO THAT MUSIC
Did you install Apple's new apps; Apple Music, Apple Devices, etc? If so, your music will now be in the Apple Music app rather than in iTunes.
The Apple Music app, not Apple Music the service. You do not need to subscribe to Apple Music the service to be able to play tracks you already own. I understand that the naming is a bit confusing.
itunes had all my music
