I renewed my Apple Music subscription hoping to get all my old music back but when I go to sync back to iCloud nothing happens how do I get my music back?!

I decided not to take the Music service after my free 90 day trial. I had some of my personal albums copied to my new iPhone and then synced with my new MacBook Air. Now both devices have removed my personal music files. I owned those music files and I still have them on my PC, but Apple seems to think they own them seeing I am using them on their device? Maybe the VLC app will work on my Mac products, but this seems a violation of my rights, not a licensing issue.
