iTunes Match vs. Apple Music

Hi


I'm an iTunes Match subscriber, and now I'm trying Apple Music.


I added a few songs (.m4a) to my iTunes library today, after enabling Apple Music and started the process to Match them, like before (except now the right click option is called "Add to iTunes Music Library").


What happened was kinda weird, though. Some of these songs now have an iCloud Status of "Matched", just like before, so ok, but some of them have an "Apple Music" status. The problem? If I delete them from my Mac and re-download, they'll be re-downloaded as DRM-protected files (just like if I had added and made them available offline via Apple Music, instead of opening my own .m4a file)


What does that mean for my library when my trial period ends? Am I gonna lose these songs?? Anybody with the same problem?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
