After iTunes Match subscription expires, do songs get deleted from iCloud?

Hello,


My iTunes Match subscription expired a while ago and I'd like to renew it now. However, I don't have access to the computer that was storing my iTunes Match music library anymore (i.e., the computer from which I originally uploaded all my music to iTunes Match). My question is: if I renew my iTunes Match subscription from my iPhone (iOS 8.1.2), will all of my previously uploaded/matched music become available again to stream from iCloud? Or will it require that I upload/match all of my music again?


Just to clarify, my iTunes Match subscription has actually expired (meaning I didn't pay the $25 to renew it for another year).


I would LOVE to get my entire music library back, but I'm just not sure if songs get deleted from iCloud once iTunes Match subscriptions expire.


Thank you so much for all of your help!!!

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.2, 64Gb

No. After you account expires and you do nothing, then it renews automatically. Apple should send you an email prior to alert you. You must stop your renewal from occurring if you want to terminate the service.


Your music is removed from the cloud after, I believe, 30 days so you have time to recover them.
