What is the difference between iTunes Match, Apple Music, and iTunes in the Cloud?

Hi,

Itunes in the Cloud applies to iTunes Store purchases. This gives you the ability to redownload purchases.

iTunes Match is a subscription service that allows you to add your music to the iCloud music library so that you can access your music across your devices in addition to iTunes purchases.

Apple Music allows you to access the Apple Music catalog and includes iTunes Match features..

If you subscribe to Apple Music, you don’t need iTunes Match. iTunes in the cloud will be available irrespective of whether yo have a subscription or not.

iTunes in the Cloud only includes music purchased from the iTunes Store. With iTunes Match (and also with Apple Music) you can also store music from CDs and other sources. The following is a PC related site but gives a good overview: Use iTunes and iCloud together on PC - Apple Support
