Years before Apple Music was even a thing I signed up for iTunes Match as a way to make my legacy ripped CDs accessible across all of my Apple devices.
Today, 6 years late, I learned that Apple Music includes the benefits of iTunes Match!
According to Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204146
The interesting thing is Apple will happily take your money for both, even though iTunes Match is redundant if you have Apple Music.
Compare this to taking out an Apple One sub, any previous subs you have that are superceded (TV+, Apple Music) are automatically cancelled.
But iTunes Match is not cancelled when you take out an Apple Music subscription.
So since taking out an Apple Music sub when it launched I've been paying $25/£22 a year for the last 6 years for an iTunes Match subscription that I didn't need.
Anybody else?

If you have an Apple Music membership, you get all of the benefits of iTunes Match, plus access to the entire Apple Music catalogue.
