Will I loose my Music if I change country of my Apple/Itunes account?

I have a Mexican account, but I recently moved to the US. I'll change my account to the US but I don't know if I'll still have access to my Music and Playlists?

If you are subscribed to Apple Music you will have to cancel your subscription to change country. Then: In the legal documents: Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple you will find, "When your Paid Subscription to any Service ends, you will lose access to any functionality or Content of that Service that requires a Paid Subscription." So yes, you will lose your playlists as well as any streaming music that you have downloaded for offline use. If it is purchased music, and you have downloaded a copy to your computer, it will stay there.


This may also explain what might happen:
