Canceling iTunes match and not Apple Music

Hi

My iTunes Match subscription is up for renewal and I actually don't have the need for it any more with Apple Music. However, all the articles on cancelling iTunes Match say I the only way to cancel iTunes Match is to turn off Auto Renewal which would mean loosing Apple Music too. Going into Manage Subscriptions only shows apple music. Am I missing something?

TLDR: How do I cancel iTunes Match without stopping Apple Music Auto Renewal?

Thanks!

HI

Thanks for the reply, I have seen those pages, but I don't want to turn off automatic renewal because then I won't have Apple Music either. I can turn off Apple Music but for some reason, not itunes Match...

iTunes Match and Apple Music are separate subscriptions. You can disable the Match auto renewal while maintaining an Apple Music subscription. This is what I have done prior to my Match renewal date of Dec 15th.

I assumed that should be the case but I haven't been able to find it in any of the subscription settings on iTunes or the manage web account. Only place I didn't look was in the music app itself. For others who may stumble on this, I clicked on the profile button, in the top left of the music app, vview appleID made sure iTunes match auto renewal is odd and then clicked on manage in the subscriptions section and re subscribed to Apple Music and turned on automatic renewal there. Hopefully that will work...
