My iTunes songs labeled as apple music instead ...

Hi,

I'm on itunes 12.3 with iCloud Music and iTunes Match. I just added several of my own music files to iTunes and their iCloud status is "Apple Music" instead of "iCloud Matched" or "iCloud Uploaded".

When Apple Music expires in two weeks, will I still be able to listen to my music??

any suggestions?

I have the same problem, running on Yosemite with an iMac (27-inch, Late 2012).

Tried several times to delete and re-import the song, but iTunes is always showing it as Apple Music file...

It's weird as it one of the things that was explicitly mentioned as being fixed in 12.1.

I have the same issue and tried everything I could to make the songs match or upload without any luck...

Seems to happen often when adding newly released music, I'm ending my Apple Music trial. Too many issues.

OS X 10.11 | iTunes 12.3.0

Same problem for me. Hasn't happened prior to this upgrade of iTunes.

Will turning off Apple Music fix it?

Looking at the Songs listing in iTunes does not tell the whole store of your files. If you turned on the column "iCloud Status" and it says Apple Music that might mean two different things: it is a song you added from Apple Music or it is a song that you had in your iTunes Library and was available in Apple Music so their system did not have to upload it.

However, if you right click on the track and select Get Info and choose the FILE tab, while it will still say Apple Music under iCloud Status, under File Location it should say the location on your hard drive where the file is located.

Also, in the drop down menu, (before you click Get Info) it should say "Find in Finder". That also indicates that iTunes is using a locally stored music file.

Any music that is stored on your hard drive (that you did not add and download from Apple Music) will be available for play even if you don't continue the Apple Music subscription. Any songs that you did add from Apple Music and downloaded to either your PC or iOS device will (1) not be able to be played based on the version of DRM that Apple Music adds to downloaded Apple Music files and (2) supposedly will actually be deleted from your computer/iOS device after 30 days.

Í'm not sure about what you said: prior to Apple Music, a song had either "iCloud status: Matched" or "iCloud status: uploaded" as status, depending on wether it was matched by iTunes Match or uploaded to the cloud. After Apple Music joined the party, all my existing music still has that status.

But newly added local music all got the status "Apple Music". Which seems wrong because in 9 days, Apple Music stops and then what? I just downloaded such a song on another Mac and it's a protected MPEG-4 audio in a sub folder called Apple Music. So, I'm sure this is not an RDM-free iTunes Match song.

However, I just checked and some affected files automatically changed to "iCloud status: Matched" or "iCloud status: uploaded". So maybe they're fixing it on the server end?

If you download any song (whatever the original source was - iTunes Store, Apple Music, or your own library) to another Mac it will appear as an Apple Music file with the DRM. That is how the "system" for iCloud Music Library works - unlike iTunes Match that actually downloaded your original file.

I never used iTunes Match (my library was much too large for the limit at that time), so I don't know what terms it used.

That's right, but iTunes Match should take precedence over Apple Music. Otherwise, what's the point in having both? iTunes Match allows you to keep your music DRM-free in the cloud. So, if I add songs to my iTunes library, I like to retrieve them on any device at any point. Without DRM.

This is all too much of a hassle. After the trial, I'm going back to Deezer. Works great!

TThat's right.  My own music that I'm adding is getting matched to Apple Music.

THis his means that when I access it from, say, an iPhone my music has become DRM protected and cannot be used in an app like Traktor DJ.

Spent some of my morning on the phone to Apple and learnt the following:

1. Other than turning of the auto renewal of the Apple Music subscription there is no way that even Apple can turn off Apple Music before the free trial expires

2. Apple's recommended advice for this problem is to go to iTunes>Preferences and to uncheck Apple Music and iCloud Music Library and to live with it until your free Apple music trial expires.

If you don't do number 2 then Apple say that anything matched to 'Apple Music' is likely to get deleted.

Well done Apple.  Great Job.  Really thought that one through didn't you.

Nice! I just did the same and called Apple Support. (funny thing: they called me 5 times for a scheduled call and I could not pick up with my iPhone because of some weird incompatibility. Finally, I had to call them on a direct number)

Anyway, the guy did not know anything about it. In the end, after verifying with colleagues, he basically told me the same thing

1. first he tried to convince me it works as advertised

2. then he said that my local songs (incorrectly labeled as Apple Music) will still continue to play after Apple Music expires, but not on my other devices.

3. after that, I could retry to match them with iTunes Match (how, I don't know) or use manual iTunes Sync with a cable to put the music on my other devices.

4. I should make sure Time Machine works correctly, so that I still have my music if anything goes wrong.

Nice: paying all this money for the cloud and then having to sync with a cable like it's 2007.

And don't forget: if you delete your local files, they're gone forever as they will be replaced with Apple Music tracks that won't play anymore.

Today is the last day of my Apple Music subscription so I still expected to experience this problem but it seems to have gone away.

I've upgraded my Mac to El Capitan, tried to import some music to iTunes and it correctly matched with iTunes Match rather that Apple Music.

I won't re-subscribe to Apple Music and I keep it turned off on all my devices incase the problem crops up again.

He was probably right about #1 - that the only way to stop the trial was to turn off Apple Music and ICML.

But I don't believe he is correct about #2 ON YOUR ORIGINAL DEVICE. On the devices that you synced your music through ICML, sure, those devices (if you allow the subscription to lapse) will no longer be able to access your music library. But on the computer that originally had the music files that you initially set up Apple Music/iCloud Music Library, those files will not just disappear. What should change is that their iCloud Status will revert from Apple Music.

Hi,

I know this is an older thread. Two years have passed and Apple is yet to address this issue.

To summarize, iTunes shows "Apple Music" under "iCloud Status" for music that we own/ripped and have placed on our hard drive. It is misleading and confusing, and raising concerns about what happens to the music files if we end the Apple Music subscription.

But that is not the only concern. By mixing our own music with genuine Apple Music downloads, there is no way to filter on the downloaded Apple Music. And now I have to manually maintain a playlist to track every song I download from Apple Music.

To add insult to injury, we are being told that we need to look at file location information to decipher the real story behind each song.

Do you really believe this is a proper user experience that lives up to Apple industrial design and ease of use reputation and that it would be acceptable to its users?

Apple has clearly stated on its website (About iCloud Music Library icons and status - Apple Support) the definition of "Apple Music" under "iCloud Status" as Apple Music: You added this song from the Apple Music catalog.

Apple should fix this problem. I do not understand why this is still on ongoing issue years after.

(Using iTunes 12.7.0.166)

Thank you.
