We have tracks from Apple Music added to our library. I used to subscribe to iTunes Match but let that expire this month. When using the Music app on the aTV4, I am constantly getting messages that I need to subscribe to iTunes Match or Apple Music to play the track. We do have a subscription to Apple Music, but I think somewhere iTunes has gotten confused and doesn't recognize that we subscribe to Apple Music.

Anyway, I may need to rebuild the iTunes library and re-establish the link between our library and iCloud Music Library. We have over 100 tracks downloaded from Apple Music. How do we avoid losing them with a rebuild or is there a way to document them? We have created an Apple Music playlist. Can that be exported and re-imported or something like that?

Spontaneously stopped give the error message (iCloud issue?). But I would still like to know how to rebuild an iTunes library and be able to keep or add back the Apple Music tracks that have been added over time.
