You cannot access content in the cloud unless you are signed into your account. You shouldn't need to be signed in to play locally stored media unless it is Apple Music content that contains DRM, however if you're not signed into your Apple ID then the principle feature of iTunes Match, that changes to your library get updated in your iCloud Music Library, and are then available to your other libraries and devices, won't work. What is the error message you get when you run into this issue? You can turn off iCloud Music Library (AKA Sync Library) before signing out of your Apple ID.
