What happened to my library? I had loaded music from CD's, it's all gone, including my favorites and playlists.

I used to have detailed iTunes Library. Now all my playlist that were created years ago are all gone. The songs that were previously uploaded from CD's --- gone. Some songs/albums are hit or miss - a track may be there; however, many songs are gone. What happened?

Accidentally deleted my whole Apple Music Library. As I was going through songs to 'clean' my music out, I somehow managed to delete all of my songs. Is there any possible way to recover this. I had thousands of songs collected over years that are just gone now. Please if anyone knows any way to restore help out. I am literally shaking from how dumb I feel.

How do I recover deleted Apple Music library I have had my music library deleted and my playlists are all empty, I have tried to find a way around it for months but to no avail, “ Turn On Sync” has always being turned on. My subscription went out and I subscribed after a few weeks and this happened. There has to be a way Apple can get my music back. It’s well over 5000 songs for over 10 years. There is a new apple feature that is called favorites, the songs I had clicked “ LOVE” on in previous here appear to fall in that and it automatically added to my playlist. My other playlists are empty also.

The music library structure between iTunes and Music has changed. Perhaps this link will help:
