How can I backup music I own but no longer have on tape, like family music and old music I downloaded to my devices years ago. I am about to update Mac, iPad and iPhone to the newer system versions that do not include iTunes. I am afraid if I make a mistake I will lose music that is precious to me and I can not replace. If you can help I will be forever grateful.

If you have a Mac
In macOS Catalina, your previous iTunes media library is now available in the Apple Music app, Apple TV app, Apple Podcasts app, and Apple Books app. And when you back up your Mac, your media library is automatically included in that backup.
