lost music

Ever since the change from iTunes to iMusic, I've been missing several songs. Many of them were songs not purchased on iTunes but from my own CDs. Any thoughts on where they are? Some of them are irreplaceable. Thanks-

Purchased Music Missing From iTunes/iPhone I've noticed several songs that I know I've purchased are totally missing from my library. I found 2 that I know I bought when they came out a few years ago were not on my phone. Not only that, they weren't in iTunes, my computer, and they didn't show up in my purchased history in the iTunes Store. They aren't on my Mac either. I've never deleted them. I've had to re-purchase a handful of them but I don't want to keep doing this. Over the last few weeks I've found several songs that I've had before not show up for me. Is there a solution for this? It's frustrating to lose stuff you've already bought.

if a song isn't available in apple music, have i lost it from my library I stored all of my music, ancient stuff from CDs and newer things bought from Apple, in iTunes. Then I changed computer. Now a lot of that music, including things like "mixtapes" made for me years ago and including things like albums that still appear in Apple Music, are greyed out and can be neither downloaded nor played. Have I lost these things forever by trusting Apple? Or are they stored somewhere, waiting for me to dig them out somehow?

missing music from iTunes Library I just noticed that all the songs of two artists that I bought from iTunes are missing from my Library. They are still available on the iTunes Store... For one artist, the songs are marked "Purchased" but not available; for the other artist, the songs are not marked "Purchased." I searched for them on my Time Machine backup hard drive, and they have disappeared there as well.

iTunes is still the Apple music player on Windows. Do you subscribe to Apple Music?
