I've updated to iTunes 12.2.1, have a library of about 27,999 songs. When I turn on iCloud Music Library, songs seem to be disappearing from playlists that I have. I've noticed the number of songs in one playlist, for instance, that had 366 songs, but after iCloud Music Library runs and scans my songs, the playlist has 342 songs. What's going on?
iPhone 6, Windows 8
The same thing is happening to me... I was a previous iTunes Match subscriber, so I have reset my library to a previous version and followed Apple's instructions to reset (delete) my iCloud Music Library as described in this article (If your music library shows incorrect details with iTunes Match or Apple Music, and you previously cancelled an iTunes M…).
However when I restore my library from an existing backup and try the process again with the new reset library, the same thing happens again. Songs just disappear from playlists (I think it's songs that haven't been matched to the Apple Music library successfully.
I note, no songs are deleted from my library, just missing from playlists (which I've taken a lot of time to organise), and songs that seem to be removed from playlists have a "Removed from iCloud" symbol on them.
Only a small portion of my library actually uploads to iCloud Music, and the playlists are not fixed when the iCloud Music Library is finished syncing.
I'm on Mac 10.10.4 (I know this is a windows forum, but it's the only place I can find this topic), and also use an iPhone 6 and Windows 7 computer.
Any help would be appreciated, this is very frustrating!
Yes, this is all exactly what is happening me. Out of the 27,999 songs in my library, only 3,450 are actually being uploaded to iCloud Music Library, I'm not quite sure why it's not going up to the supposed 25,000 you can have in the cloud???
Have you previously had an iTunes Match subscription in the past and cancelled it?

Yup, tried the steps apple gave regarding people with previous itunes match accounts but it still only uploads 3450 songs to the cloud and removes tons of songs from playlists
Is most of your library showing the "removed from iCloud" also? I'm in touch with Apple currently trying to find a solution.
Yup, most are in removed status
Will let you know if I get anywhere with Apple support.
