Missing Music and iTunes Match

I imported a lot of music from CD’s bought over the years, into my iTunes library. Then, those imported songs disappear.


I don’t know where to find them. Re-importing them is NOT an option.


Help, please!

If they are not in your current iCloud Music Library, and you don't have a backup, or the CDs they were ripped from, then you would appear to be out of options. Apple Music is more expensive than iTunes Match, but it does mean you can add content that want to be in your library for as long as the subscription is active. Or you could repurchase the missing items.
