iTunes vs Apple Music?

I am trying to clean up my MacBook and see that I have 61GB of music stored locally. I have Apple Music so wondering if I need my iTunes music files anymore?

Without Apple Music Paid Subscription, How Will I Play My Music Library When iTunes For Mac Goes Away? I have all of my music on my hard drive (as well as an old iPod and external drive backups). I have no plans to subscribe to Apple Music. My music files in iTunes are in many different formats - lossy and lossless - and are sourced from many places - purchased from iTunes store, imported from CDs, downloaded from other legal sites, etc. In short, my iTunes plays and contains music files with many different file extensions. iTunes for Mac is going away because Apple is replacing it with Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts. How do I continue to play and manage my entire iTunes music library without a subscription to Apple Music? All my devices are Apple Mac OS or iOS.

Do I still need my iTunes library stored on my mac hardrive now I have apple music? My iTunes library is about 33GB. I've been using Apple Music for a while across Mac/iPhone/iPad, and happy with it. I am finally willing to let go of my iTunes library (or more specifically, archive it on an external hard drive *just in case*). To use Apple Music on my Mac, and avoid issues with other devices linked with the same Apple ID, do I need to keep all the music downloaded on my Mac? I'm thinking along the lines of the "optimise storage" option on iPhone, to limit the amount of music that is downloaded locally. Thanks

Downloaded music in iTunes I’m trying to remove downloaded music from iTunes to free up space. There seem to be several ways to do this song by song but I can’t figure out if there’s a way to do it all at once. I’m trying to move my library to external storage and it seems I can only copy and paste to external storage music already downloaded to the Mac. The size of my library is 540 gigabytes but the size of my ssd is only 256 gigabytes so I’m doing it in sections. This is working but having moved the first 85 gigabytes I must now delete the downloads to move on to the next part. I’m running Hi Sierra on a 2011 iMac. I would really appreciate a solution if anyone has one for me. My motivation here is to protect my library from disappearing if I should ever opt out of my subscription. A couple years ago I tried out Amazon music because I was already paying for Prime and some music was included. However when I tried that my entire library went poof. I expected that the Apple Music part of my library would be gone but that was only a small portion of the collection and I lost it all. Apple was unable or not willing to fix this for me. The only way to get it back was to re-subscribe.

Hi Matthew,

It is up to you. Apple Music lets you stream files without having a local copy, and also lets you download files for offline play. The AM catalog has around 100 million songs, so you can surely find something to listen to! However, if your current collection contains songs that are hard to find, you can make a backup of the files before cleaning up.
