I have a free 6-month subscription of Apple Music and am going on a road trip. If I download songs, will I be charged for them at some point or do they just disappear if I cancel my subscription?

Will my past purchased songs be unaffected if I cancel Apple Music I’m currently trying out Apple Music with a free trial but I probably won’t keep it. I know that canceling means losing the songs I downloaded through the Apple Music service. (I was planning to buy the albums/songs I enjoyed later anyway) But I have 13 years worth of iTunes purchases and cd songs in my library. If i cancel Apple Music those songs will still be okay, right? It’s only the music I downloaded and streamed through Apple Music that I’ll lose access to, until I purchase them? I just want to be sure. Also I just got my first iPhone a year ago, does cancelling Apple Music effect the ability to “sync library” across devices?

No. You only have access to the Apple Music songs, even if downloaded, while you have an active subscription.

If you purchase music through the iTunes Store, the rights to that music do not expire. See: Buy music from the iTunes Store on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
