Recovering Apple Music downloads from 3 years ago on iPhone 11 Pro Max

For personal reasons, I haven't been able to use Apple Music, and now, three years later, I finally want to listen to the songs that have been with me throughout my life. Unfortunately, for some reason, they are no longer available in my downloads, even though I have the same phone and account. I am using an Iphone 11 pro max with iOS 17.5.1. I am writing this message in hopes of retrieving all my added songs.

Original Title: I haven't used Apple Music in 3 years, and I need to resume all the tracks I had before, because they contain my entire life.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

Nasteyar,

If you are referring to songs you purchased as downloads from the iTunes Store, you can get new copies per this guide: Redownload music from the iTunes Store on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


But if you are referring to songs you downloaded for offline listening from your Apple Music subscription, they are gone once the subscription ends. If you remember or have a list of what they were, you can download new copies.
