Backing up iTunes to iCloud

I recently lost my iTunes library (faulty external HD) and had to download it again. This worked fine for songs I had purchased in iTunes but not for other music, such as imported CDs etc. I subscribe to iTunes Match so can listen to my entire iTunes library anywhere with Wifi, but this doesn’t back up songs not purchased in iTunes. Is there a way to back up your entire iTunes library to iCloud?

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

iCloud doesn't back up music I've added to my laptop iTunes I'm curious if anyone else has had this issue. I purchased a new new laptop and supposedly transferred everything over from my older laptop. I noticed that a lot of my iTunes music didn't transfer over to my new laptop iTunes. As I did some research, it seems that Apple iCloud doesn't backup "non-iTunes purchased music." Everything I loaded from CD's I have and had, was missing. Plus, Apple has also made it more difficult to add music to iTunes (unless it's purchased from the iTunes store. Why am I paying for additional iCloud storage when all my music isn't being backed up? Why do I have to pay to add some other application to my laptop that will back up non-iTunes store music? And now, when I synced my iPhone to my new laptop, most of my music now has the wrong album cover associated with the music...... I'm not the brightest bulb, but I'm not a dope either....as far as I know. Why has Apple become very user unfriendly (my opinion)? I just want to listen to my music and relax, why is that so difficult....

Itunes music library I recently discovered that Itunes dropped the music album 'resident evil 5' from Itunes store, but I still have it on my computer library. I want to keep it, so: When I buy a new computer, will I be able to transfer my purchased songs to the new computer? Is there a way to back up my music and movie purchases to the cloud and be able to back them up even when apple loses the streaming rights to that particular song or movie? or does cloud only backup what is streamable?
