Introduction
You might have noticed that some of the songs in your Apple Music collection have disappeared. If you’re wondering why this happens and how to keep it from happening again, read on.
It’s important to understand that when you subscribe to Apple Music, you’re not actually buying the songs themselves. Instead, you’re paying for the right to stream those songs from Apple’s servers. Because of this, Apple has the ability to remove songs from your collection at any time.
There are a few reasons why this might happen. First, it could be that the rights to a particular song have expired and Apple no longer has the license to offer it. Second, Apple might remove a song from your collection if it detects that you’re using a modified version of iTunes (one that has been jailbroken, for example). Third, if you cancel your Apple Music subscription, all of the songs in your collection will disappear.
The good news is that there are some things you can do to keep this from happening. First, make sure that you’re using the latest version of iTunes. Second, don’t jailbreak your iPhone or iPad. Third, if you cancel your Apple Music subscription, make sure to download all of the songs you want to keep before they disappear.
By following these tips, you can make sure that your favorite songs stay in your Apple Music collection for as long as possible.

If you’ve ever noticed that some of your Apple Music songs have disappeared, you’re not alone. Songs disappearing from Apple Music is a relatively common problem that can be caused by a number of different factors. In most cases, the missing songs are just hidden and can be easily unhidden.

How to prevent songs from disappearing in Apple Music
