CD upload to iTunes - count as streams for royalties?

If I upload songs from a cd to iTunes, will the owner of the song be matched someone and paid royalties for listens of that song? Or do stream rules only count for Apple Music files?

Thanks!

Cd burning i purchased music on iTunes and tried to burn it and some of the songs won’t burn cause they’re Apple Music songs. But I paid for all of them. How do I make sure they’re not Apple Music.

CD's ripped and uploaded get deleted. I have spent days ripping music from legitimate music CD's I own. I have uploaded them to my phone and twice now...in the last few months, Apple will remove them or make them "unavailable." How do they have the right to do this to my music I have paid for and own?
