Q: Has anyone faced the issue of being offered another year of iTunes Match after they have purchased the Apple Music service?  What is the difference in the two?  Is it that iTunes Match stores music that was not purchased from the iTunes store?

Has anyone who has signed up for Apple Music while having an iTunes Match account been told that they need to purchase another year of Match?  The explanations on the Apple website seem to suggest that all that iTunes Match does differently is store music in the iCloud Library that was not purchased from the iTunes store.  If that is the case, what happens if one decides not to pay for another year of iTunes Match?  Does that music disappear from the library?  Or does it stay in iCloud?
