What happens to my music library if I stop using Apple Music

I have many thousands of songs on my PC that I imported into iTunes. I joined Apple Music and then stopped using it. I now cannot access any of the music that is on my PC from my CD's. How can I get access to my music?

Windows, Windows 10

Unplayable songs in Apple Music Library Last year I bought an M1 iMac. I uploaded my CD library to Apple Music from my old iMac (where I had previously burned them into iTunes). A number of my albums / songs are greyed out and display the dotted iCloud symbol next to them in Apple Music which signifies (according to Apple) that "The song is waiting to be uploaded, can't be matched, is no longer available in the Apple Music catalogue or hasn't been released yet." I suspect in my case the song can't be matched because quite a few are classical and perhaps not in the Apple Music universe. My question is am I now destined not to be able to listen to some of my CDs digitally on my phone, iMac etc? Or is there another way to add them to my Library given I own the physical CD? Thanks!

iTunes Library not syncing with apple music I have lots of cds I own that I ripped into my iTunes account. Now it is Apple Music. They show up on my iMac and my MacBook Air but not on my iPhone 12 or my iPad. There is no option in the settings for Apple Music to sync as previous discussions suggested. Everything in my iCloud is synched besides this music. I don't want to have to subscribe to Apple Music to see my own albums and music. Suggestions?

Syncing music I used to be able to syncs songs from my iTunes library, now it does not. Seems only purchased music came over in the switch to Apple Music. The songs I want are downloaded from discs. I noticed songs in the cloud, but once I disconnected from pc, songs went away
