Once your Apple Music subscription is canceled you will lose access to the playlists you created and any music you’ve downloaded. Your music and playlists would not return if you decide to sign up for Apple Music again in the future.
Indeed you will. Apple Music is basically a streaming service, but it also allows you to download songs to your device (though not to transfer them to another device) so you can listen to them when offline.
After you cancel the subscription, I believe that all functions of Apple Music are removed from your device, including saved songs that were not directly purchased from the i, and tunes store. However, I think a backup of your library remains in the cloud should you choose to renew your subscription at a later point in time.
This begs the inquiry “What happens to my music when I cancel a subscription?”
Once you cancel that subscription the music is no longer be available in your account. Purchased music that was not part of a subscription is tied to your Apple ID, which is not subscription based, so you can keep that as long as you have a ID. You’ll lose the Apple Music tracks you downloaded, but not individual purchases.
What happens to my music when my Apple Music membership expires?
During the time before your Apple Music membership expires, you will get notified to resubscribe to Apple Music in order to keep your music. If you are determined to leave Apple Music, there is a way to keep your playlists. Just read on. The songs you downloaded from Apple Music catalog will be removed from all your devices.
If you are determined to leave Apple Music, there is a way to keep your playlists. Just read on. The songs you downloaded from Apple Music catalog will be removed from all your devices. The music you purchased from i. Tunes will be removed from your device but you can download them without paying again.
Thanks for that bit of information about previously purchased music from i. Tunes not being removed from i. Cloud after subscription to Apple Music has been cancelled. As I just read online here that says the opposite.
What happens to my original iTunes songs If I stop paying?
Songs you have ripped from CDs and which are also available in the Store can be downloaded to your other devices only as long as you have i. Tunes Match or Apple Music enabled. If you used i. Tunes Match they will continue to be available after you stop subscribing. If you have only Apple Music they won’t. Your originals will be untouched.
