It sounds like you might be one of the unfortunate souls who lost a lot of your library to the Apple Music cloud during your trial period.  

That sounds a little overdramatic ;-) but, yes, I got a messed up library during the trial period. Of course I had backup copies of the files back then and still have.

I just wonder if there are any recent first hand experiences, whether they got this issue fixed or not.

As I said, I probably need to try and it be prepared to reset the iCloud library & rebuild my library.

Well, I took a small leap of faith and enabled the iCloud library on my iPhone only with only a limited number of files on it.

The result is as I feared:

Many albums were identified correctly, but

- some albums seemingly unknown to Apple disappeared entirely (formerly ripped from the orginial CD via iTunes)

- audiobooks with single files >2h length disappeared entirely

- some album art changed to wrong covers (formerly ripped from the orginial CD via iTunes)

- no drag&drop movement of files between iTunes and iPhone possible anymore

 

Still a fan of the idea but definitely not of the implementation...
