How to keep Apple Music library accessible offline?

I’m in the Navy and I go underway for more than 30 days at a time. My concern is I just bought the Apple Music yearly subscription and I was wondering if it still will cancel my library I won’t be able to access my Music after 30 days of the off-line because you’re not allowed to get on the Internet during the underway.

If I cancel my Apple Music subscription and resubscribe again the same day, do I lose or do I keep my library? I am moving my AppleID from one country to the other. For that I must cancel all Applу Music subscription and resubscribe. What will happen to my library? Will I be able to get it back intact if I resubscribe literally within minutes? All of the official answers say: "you will lose access to your library". That is not clear. What does it mean? Will it be there on my device, but I will not be able to play songs that I added from Apple Music? If so, will I be able to play them if I promptly resubscribe? Or all of the things that I added to my library from Apple Music will be permanently erased immediately?

Cancelling Apple music subscription removes access to my WHOLE library!! I have used iTunes (now Apple music) for 20+ years. I built up my library from uploading 100s of my own cds, and also buying music from iTunes. In recent years I have subscribed to Apple Music. I dont want to subscribe anymore, but when I cancelled earlier this year, my entire library disappeared!!! Apple support told me that, yes, this is expected. Fortunately, resubscribing restored access to my library. This quite frankly pees me off, because I know Apple can differentiate between the source of the music, such that bought from the subscription service cannot be downloaded to cd. I would expect to lose access to those songs, but not the other 90% of my music, obtained and purchased pre Apple music. Consequently I'm now completely stuck paying for this subscription. My library is too big for me to download anywhere, and I am aggrieved that I should have to being as it was already mine. Anyone found a solution to this please, or complained to Apple about it?

Previously purchased music gone after cancelling Apple Music free trial subscription I had an extensive music library through iTunes - all purchased - and after signing up for the free 1-month trial of Apple Music and cancelling the free trial within the free period some of my music, purchased long ago, is now gone. At first they showed up with a cloud icon, indicating that they were downloadable, but then when I tried the entry just turned grey and I can't play or download or anything. Apple Music grabbed them - but they were already mine!
