Question

What will happen if I cancel Apple Music?

I am considering switching to Spotify premium since no one I know uses Apple Music. I’ve heard that any music I download with Apple Music will be unavailable to me until I resubscribe. Is there any way I could maybe keep my music? Perhaps there’s a way I can migrate my music to Spotify or something? Or will I have to resort to finding every song again on Spotify and adding it all to a playlist there? Also, will my music also be deleted on my computer or can I keep it on there?

null-OTHER, Windows 10, iTunes 12.7.3.46

Any songs downloaded from the Apple Music subscription service, will stop being available and removed from all devices once the subscription is cancelled. You do not own these songs, and they cannot be transferred to Spotify.

If you have songs you bought directly from iTunes, or imported to iTunes from somewhere else, those will not be removed from your computer.

Spotify, can only play its own tracks. It has no access the Music App's library.

This works very well, and yes, you will no longer have access to any Apple Music DRM songs on any device.

And also, can Spotify access the songs already on my phone? Or can it only play from its own library?
