Hi Keith, In iOS 9, your apps aren't backed up as part of your encrypted backup. Only app data is backed up, just like in iCloud backups. I'm sure the Apple Music content isn't part of the backup either. As I understand it, the only things that are in an encrypted iTunes backup but not an iCloud one are passwords, Activity data, Health data, and HomeKit data. I think it's likely that ResearchKit and careKit data is also only backed up as part of encrypted backups, not iCloud ones, but that's just a guess.
If you want to have copies of your apps on your computer, choose the option in Preferences/Store to automatically download apps to your computer when you download them on other devices. Note that if you want to update those apps, you'll have to do it either by updating all the apps on your computer or by updating individual apps. Transferring purchases that include a new version of an app does not update the version on your computer.
