Do your songs come back on Apple Music?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

When you renew your Apple Music subscription, the songs you currently have in your iTunes library will become uploaded to your music library in iCloud. This means that even if your subscription lapses or you switch to a different device, you won’t lose your music collection.

When you first sign up for Apple Music, it scans your iTunes library and matches the songs it finds with its own catalog. Any songs that are not available in Apple Music’s catalog are uploaded to your iCloud Music Library. This is a convenient feature because it allows you to access your entire music library, including your own personal music files, from any device with an internet connection.

However, it’s important to note that the songs you have in your iTunes library will only be accessible through Apple Music if you have an active subscription. If your subscription expires or you decide to cancel Apple Music, you will still have access to your personal music files, but you won’t be able to stream or download songs from the Apple Music catalog.

When you renew your Apple Music subscription, you regain access to the full catalog of Apple Music. This means that you can redownload your favorite songs to your iPhone or any other device that you use to access Apple Music. Simply search for the songs you want to download and tap the download button next to them. This will add the songs back to your device’s local storage, allowing you to listen to them offline.

In addition to being able to redownload your favorite songs, renewing your Apple Music subscription also allows you to discover new music, create playlists, and access exclusive content, such as music videos and live performances. Apple Music offers a vast catalog of songs from various genres and artists, making it easy to explore and expand your music collection.

Personally, I have found Apple Music to be a great platform for discovering new music and rediscovering old favorites. The ability to have my entire music library available in the iCloud Music Library gives me peace of mind, knowing that I won’t lose my collection even if something happens to my device. The seamless integration between my iTunes library and the Apple Music catalog makes it easy to access and manage my music, whether I’m at home or on the go.

When you renew your Apple Music subscription, your songs will come back in two ways. Firstly, the songs you currently have in your iTunes library will be uploaded to your music library in iCloud, ensuring that you don’t lose your personal music collection. Secondly, by renewing your subscription, you regain access to the full Apple Music catalog, allowing you to redownload your favorite songs and explore new music.
