You should not rely on iCloud to backup your music. There is no guarantee that any content will be available for redownload. You should always maintain a backup copy of your computer and its content.


iCloud is not something that is installed on your computer. To retrieve available music from iCloud go to iTunes Store>Quick Links>Purchased.
