What happens to my downloaded music if I cancel my Apple Music subscription?

Asked 2 years ago
When an individual cancels their Apple Music subscription, the downloaded music that was obtained through the service will no longer be accessible. This means that any songs, albums, or playlists that were previously downloaded will be removed from the user's device. It is important to note that the music will still be available for streaming if the user decides to re-subscribe in the future. However, any songs or albums that were purchased separately, rather than through the subscription service, will remain in the user's library and can still be accessed even after the subscription has been canceled. If a user is considering canceling their Apple Music subscription, it may be beneficial to explore the terms and conditions regarding downloaded content and library access on the current web page for further details.
