Removing music from one of my devices

If I disable library sync in the music app and then delete the music library from my mac mini, will the music on my MacBook pro and iPhone remain on those devices, or will all of my music be deleted on all of my devices?

Mac mini, macOS 13.4

why does music on ios delete songs loaded from my macbook First: I hate the new 'music' app. Compared to the itunes+ipod/iphone system that existed before, the new music app has blatantly removed any functionality and convenience based around using my own music, likely in an attempt to annoy me into paying for a premium 'music' subscription. It's really become complete trash. Apple, PLEASE go back to my phone being usable as an ipod. wtf, this was in the orignial So at any rate, I jumped through the hoops of plugging my iphone 12 directly into the macbook, using the jank UI in 'finder' I selected the playlists I want synced to my iphone, and waited for it to transfer. That worked fine for a while, I was able to listen to my own music on headphones. But several times I've opened up 'music' and ALL of the music files I loaded from my macbook are missing. I've had to do this process three times, waiting for all of the selected music to transfer each time. Why is 'music' for ios deleting music files from my device?

I get the message that the phone is using Cloud Music Library and I need to turn it off. I cannot find the Cloud Music Library to turn it off. HELP!!!

Turning off sync library won't affect your other devices. All music in your library that is part of an Apple Music subscription should instantly disappear.
