Why do I need Apple Music to listen to my ripped CDs in my playlists that worked last month?

Why do I need to subscribe to Apple Music to listen to my own ripped CDs?

Need to subscribe to Apple Music to use iTunes "For You" function seems odd, no? I recall iTunes used to suggest new songs which I then purchased from Apple. (Haven't subscribed due to fear of deletion of old songs copied from legit CDs I own.) Need to subscribe to Apple Music to use the "For You" function seems odd, no? I recall iTunes (somehow) used to suggest new songs for me, based on other music I had purchased (or maybe stored in my music library), which I then sometimes proceeded to purchase from Apple. Seemed like an easy way for Apple to generate additional revenue without too much effort. Anyway, I haven't subscribed to Apple Music due to the fear of deletion of old songs copied from legit CDs I own, which I understand from other discussions has happened. Am I being overly cautious? Are my fears unfounded? Thanks! Tim

Downloaded Music I have downloaded a lots of songs from Itunes with a subscription. I can play them till Sunday & now i can't find them. My subscription has been ended on last week. Can someone tell me where can i find the music & apple did a fraud with me? by telling while giving the subscription that downloaded songs can be listen offline (only with the subscription), they will be never will be available if there is no subscription.

Swift,

If you have the audio files on your computer, you can play them with the iTunes or Music app. A subscription is not required.

Swift,

Use Finder to find one of the audio files on your computer. Right-click it and choose Open With > Music (or Open With > iTunes). What happens?

Not true. This is the message I get: This requires iTunes Match or Apple Music.
