It has never worked that way except for iTunes Store media purchases you have made.

Thank you. I’m sorry to learn this but not very surprised. When I ended my subscription to Apple music, I saw that much of my playlist had disappeared along with a lot of music I’d transferred from LPs. I’ll try to find another way to store and listen to music that Apple can’t control. I have a few old iPods with their charging cords. And I guess I can buy a CD player. Again, thanks for your reply.
The idea seems to be that you already have on your computer, and a backup of your computer, anything that originated from non-Apple sources. They got onto the device that way in the first place. The unspoken aspect is not allowing devices to be part of pirating music from other sources.
I’m sorry I don’t understand. I have a turntable that converts LPs to digital. And I’ve copied CDs onto my laptop. My wife’s family includes many actors and my son is a musician. I don’t believe I’ve ever pirated anything. Apple seems to have erased anything that I didn’t buy directly from them.
I don't subscribe to Apple Music which it sounds like you do. I know I have seen similar topics about personal music "disappearing" when using Apple Music but I don't even use the iTunes Store or do any syncing myself, plus I use a 15 year old version of iTunes. I have requested the topic be relocated to a forum for doing things like syncing and using Apple Music and hopefully somebody can recognize your problem and know the resolution. It may have something to do with what you have selected to display in iTunes or Music. For that matter, it would probably help others to know if you are using iTunes or Music. apps on the computer.
Thank you. I would appreciate this thread moving to a forum where I might learn about ways to listen to my music that circumvent Apple. I subscribed to Apple Music for a few months, apparently a big mistake.
