Hi Michael,

I don't understand what you are talking about...
Unless you have enabled 'iCloud Music Library'?
I have for years imported hundreds of my music CDs, thousands of Playlists & 
tracks of music I own into my iTunes Library on my computer and I sync what 
music CD Playlists I wish to have on my iPad & iPhone.
I never have to download them from Apple Servers. 
They are all on my Mac and included in my backup plan.
 
Note: If you have turned on 'iCloud Music Library' on your iOS device, you 
can't sync music From iTunes. iCloud Music Library replaces syncing, allowing 
you to download content from the cloud

Sounds like you don't sync anything, you get most of your content from the 
cloud - using Apple Music to stream music, and download your own music from 
iCloud Music Library.

I don't have Apple Music or iCloud Music Library enabled!

Cheers,
Ronni
