Why do I keep getting random songs removed saying they’re not available in my region, yet I can play the entire album containing those songs? Many of them are MY uploads!

Use a 3rd party player for personal/ripped collections. Apple Music is primarily for streaming from their library - regional copyrights & royalties kick in (even for your uploads).
Don’t mix & match, use Apple Music for paid subscription streaming/downloading and a 3rd party player for everything else. If you’re not a paying subscriber, Apple Music isn’t for you.
Agreed, but the database is dynamic and so are copyrights which are renewed with Apple regularly. Try Amazon? More friendly to user needs, none of this nonsense.
Many, not all of them are my uploads. I keep losing songs that I have in cloud playlists (Apple Music) that just randomly say "This song is not available in your country or region". I'm in the USofA and they're American bands
I am a paying subscriber. I'll try your idea though. Here's what I'm talking about though...80's playlist. The individual song can't be added from an album to the playlist, but I can listen to the entire album, including that song, streaming it. This is one I don't "own".
Maybe...It's weird, because in a few months It'll either come back, or I can add it again if I delete it. I don't understand it. It just wrecks playlists. A playlist can fine for months or years, then boom, song not available. No rhyme or reason
Some copyrights extend to user-created playlists, I think that’s what the error message means.
YouTube music is too...I just bought a month of that to try. Only thing that sucks is YouTube music doesn't have a native player for my iMac or MBP. That's why I use Apple Music. Thanks!
