Apple Music - Match music

[JackDaniels3]

Hello,
I'm trying to figure something out with Apple Music, but no luck searching Google so far, so I hope someone here can give me a hint.

I have 4000 music files on my computer. FLAC and MP3 files. I have never used iTunes or any other music management software.
I've decided to try out Apple Music and what I want to accomplish is to find a way to scan all my music files and automatically find that songs in AppleMusic and add them to my "library" there.
I don't want to upload them. I don't want to use itunes match and upload them on cloud. I don't want to add the files as external library.! I want to match them in AppleMusic and then archive the actual folder on hdd and forget about it.
I just want to find those songs in the Apple Music without doing that one by one.

Ideas?

Do you have iCloud music library enabled?

No.

Well then the only way I know of - if you don’t want to enable iCloud Music - is to manually do it. You just start with an empty Apple Music library and then just search for what you want to add.

I don't want to upload them. I don't want to use itunes match and upload them on cloud.

What's the problem with uploading songs that can't be matched? Anyway, if it bothers you, you can activate iCloud music library, let it do it's thing, and then delete all songs from the library that could not be matched (and have thus been uploaded). An easy way to find those songs (after your iCloud music library has finished updating) is to create a smart playlist in iTunes with the match condition "iCloud Status is Uploaded", or simply enable the "iCloud Status" column in song view and sort by it.

My solution for this is an app called Equalizer Pro. With it you can drag and drop music files using the file sharing tab in iTunes. Plug in your iOS device click its tab and open up it’s home page, click the File sharing tab on the left side. Find the EP app and highlight it this opens up it’s document folder. Pull up the files you want FLAC, OGG, whatever. And simply highlight them and drag and drop them into The document folder, Done.
