Not sure if it make sense to keep both subscriptions because I understand that with Apple Music you get iTunes Match. Is this correct?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
Apple Music and iTunes Match are very different.

thanks, had read this but still not understandable in any useful way. and i can read.
One huge difference is what happens if you decide to cancel membership in the future.
With iTunes Match, you own all the songs. Assuming you have them downloaded onto a device at cancellation time, you may keep them.
With Apple Music, you do not own many of the songs. You do not get to keep them. Think of Apple Music being more like a lease - you get to listen to the songs as long as you pay your monthly "rent".
thanks, this is very helpful. so since 99% of my music library is uploaded from cd's that i own, and very little is music i have purchased online, then it sounds like i don't really need iTunes Match subscription. i can listen to music 'leased' through Apple Music.
in my case, not sure why i would need to 'own' the music since i already own much of what i listen to.
how do i go about cancelling my iTunes Match subscription?
To cancel your iTunes Match subscription, use iTunes' menu to go to Store > View Account. Find the iTunes Match row under "iTunes in the Cloud" and click "Turn off automatic renewal."
Should I keep subscription to iTunes Match if i just subscribed to Apple Music? Why would I need both?
