My music library

When I restart my computer, my iTunes is on Apple Music, which I have not subscribed to, and I cannot access my music library. How can I access my music library?

With the release of macOS Catalina a few years ago, the iTunes app became the Music app and was also split into the TV, Books and Podcasts apps. Apple's Music app does not require a subscription to access if you have no interest in purchasing or streaming music from the Apple catalog.


I think you just need to direct your Music app to your previous iTunes music library.
