Wait a minute, you've had success playing tracks you ripped yourself (and that you're sure are your own tracks, not being matched from Apple's own cloud service, which is a trick they do)?I was happy to get the Apple Music app but its operation is a bit of a mixed bag. All Apple Music playlists play without problems but playlists I have made (a mix of older RIPPED tracks with some Apple Music tracks) have playback problems. A track will play a couple of seconds then immediately skip to the next track for a couple of seconds to the next track and so on till it finds one it is willing to stream. This may or may not be either an Apple Music track or on of my RIPPED tracks. All of the latter were ripped at 256kbps. End result is, if I want to listen to one of my playlists I will play it from the Apple Music app on my phone. That way works as it has always done. The app needs more work.
I ask because when I tried it earlier, I had zero luck getting it to play my own, ripped tracks, that are in my "Cloud Library" or whatever Apple calls it, but are not publicly-available tracks. (For example, a family member's violin recital.) My surmise had been that they stream only stuff that's in the publicly available collection.
