Well, Reddit suggests the use of a third party program called “tunemymusic” which seems to offer the export and import of libraries/playlists for a range of music services incl AM, further so you’d export your library as a file after you’ve linked your apple account, later you could re-import it. Apple seems to offer a similar solution in Mac using the “file” menu when in Apple Music. Unfortunately, as far as I know, you can’t just simply pause your subscription, but maybe someone else knows more.
