All downlaoded music on my iPhone was deleted after iOS17 update

When I completed the iOS 17 update, all of the downloaded music that I had on iTunes was gone. My library is still synced, but all the downloads are gone. There were thousands of songs so obviously for time and data purposes I don’t want to redownload everything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

How can I recover music I accidentally erased on my iPhone? How do I add music back to my music list I erased by mistake. I intended to only erase the download to create space on my phone but I pressed erase by mistake. I only have an iPhone & iPad, not a macbook. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Music deleting non-purchased content Last night I updated iOS to the most current version, 18.4 I think. When I started off on my drive to work I found all of my non-purchased content had been deleted from my iPhone. This is absolutely not acceptable, and today I was a bit annoyed would be an understatement. These were all the CDs (that I had bought) I had moved into iTunes. I still own the original CDs. So… when I get home I’ll see if I can resynch my phone with my library on my PC. I still have the files backed up and so that isn’t my concern. My concern is why did this happen (that content was there last week), and how do I prevent it from happening again. To be honest, Apple has always had truly very buggy software; iTunes and Apple Music definitely fits into this category and it’s been very frustrating over the years having to fight the software. User experience? Sure. Anyhoo, that’s about it. I just want to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Is there another application I could use other than Apple Music? I strongly suspect the music wouldn’t work with anything else anyway. Thanks much.
