If I cancel my music subscription do I loose all my songs? Half of my music was physically download on to my first iPod from CD’s and later transferred to iPhones.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

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?

Canceling apple music subscription and loosing my music If I cancel my subscription to apple music, I know I will lose the music I downloaded from apple music. My question is, what happens with the music I purchased through iTunes, and what about the music I recorded into iTunes with my own CDs? What about the playlists with this music? Will I loose these too? I need to clear space urgently so I am thinking about moving my iTunes music library to an external disk, so I thought of subscribing to apple music but I don't know if I am going to like it and I dont want to loose my music that took me years to input. Also there is music that is not published (mine) and only exist in my iTunes. Will I loose this too? Please help! Marcelo

Music gone after cancelling subscription? Why would, after years of paying my subscription, the music I have downloaded on my iPod disappear? I cancelled my membership at the beginning of the year, trying to cut down on spending in these crazy times

Hello.

In your case, if you stop the Apple Music subscription you will not lose the songs you put on apple music.

However, the music you were listing from the apple music subscription will be removed.

I hope this helps with your question.
