Lost all Songs/in my playlists on apple music.

I've lost my entire playlist data on apple music, The reason could be that my subscription was ending and it wasn't on autopay. Now, I am unable to to get hold of the data/songs that were added to the playlist, names of all the playlists exist but songs that were within them dont.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

How can I retrieve lost songs in Apple Music Playlists? Hi, i haven't been using apple music for a while (~half a year). When i came back I found out that all my playlists are there but they are all empty - there are no songs there. I have the same phone all the while. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I retrieve my lost music and playlists on Apple Music? I haven’t had Apple Music for awhile, maybe a couple months, due to personal reasons but I just got it back yesterday and ALL of my music/playlists that I’ve put so much time into and had for years are GONE! Usually when I would miss a payment and then pay it again, my music was still there. But not this time. And everything is on the same iCloud and everything is synced to my iCloud! How do I get my music back?? I need it back now !!! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

lost playlists after cancelling subscription to Apple Music, found them back, wondering how to avoid this in the future I cancelled my Apple Music subscription and all my playlists vanished. I needed to save some money for a little while. Hard times. I don't remember receiving a warning from Apple that this would happen. I find it hard to forgive. My lists were full of songs carefully curated over the years for different days and moods. All my devices were hit : iPhone iOS 16, all gone. MacBook Air Ventura, all gone. iMac Monterey, just had the names of the playlists, with zero, one or two songs left in them. I read in another discussion here that there was a very short timeframe during which the data would still be online. So I resubscribed, within about 30 hours, and I found my playlists back. *huge sigh of relief* Many eternal thanks to Picas, the member who wrote this information. And btw, thank you to all users who share wisdom here. I will at least make new screenshots of my playlists before I have to cancel again, so I can rebuild them in the future. But I was curious. 1) Did anyone manage to access erased playlists, or emptied playlists, looking for old music library files, using Time Machine, while disconnecting iCloud syncing ? 2) Also, do you have suggestions to export the lists of songs into text ?

That’s normal when subscriptions expire, you’ll need to create afresh.
