Switching from iTunes Match to Apple Music

What happens to the music that I uploaded via iTunes Match (there was no match with the songs in the Apple Library), when I switch to Apple Music? Will I still be able to access those songs on all my devices?

As long as you start your Apple Music subscription before your iTunes Match subscription expires there shouldn't be any change. Still wise to keep a complete backup of your library on another drive as a precaution.

Thanks for the reply. I still have the original files of my music on my laptop.


I just worry, that if I switch to Apple Music, I can no longer access my own music I previously uploaded with iTunes Match. Maybe I need to keep iTunes Match in parallel with Apple Music? Well I guess I have to try it myself. Couldn't find any information about this scenario.
