Missing originally downloaded Music after iPhone Annual Music Renewal

If you have downloaded songs from Apple Music, they might not be available for playback under certain conditions. Firstly, if your Apple Music subscription expires and you renew it after a significant gap, your previously downloaded songs may no longer be accessible. This happens because the content is tied to the subscription's active period, and Apple Music may not retain downloads from expired subscriptions indefinitely.

Additionally, it is essential to ensure you are signed in with the correct Apple ID associated with your Apple Music subscription. Apple Music downloads are linked to the Apple ID used to subscribe. If you are logged in with a different Apple ID, the downloaded content from the original account will not appear, and you will be unable to access it.

To avoid losing access to your downloads, it is recommended to maintain an active subscription and always sign in with the correct Apple ID tied to your Apple Music account.
