You know how you can rip all of the music you have on CDs, subscribe to iTunes Match, and it will download higher quality versions of the songs and store them in the cloud?

1. Is that still true?
2. Let’s say I did that years ago. How come, as an iTunes Match subscriber, I don’t see that music in my library?

Another year of not knowing what iTunes Match provides me, an Apple Music subscriber. Are the digital files of the CDs I ripped and uploaded several years ago still on Apple’s servers somewhere? #AppleMusic #iTunesMatch

I’m not 100% sure I believe them, but Apple Support says that the music I ripped from CDs and uploaded to my Apple Match in 2011 is gone. That was a previous lifetime, so I’m going to put it on the raft and let it float down the river, and cancel my subscription.

I’m still keeping Apple Music, the streaming service. I’ll just now save a few bucks every year of a service I have no apparent use for.
