Question about iTunes music download to pc on windows 11?

Understanding iCloud Music Library status is essential when you download music from itunes to pc, to tell which songs are stored locally and which only exist online.If you see a cloud icon next to a song but can't "right-click to show in Explorer," it means the song is matched in the cloud but not physically on your hard drive.
Always Download: For a "local backup," ensure you see a Checkmark or no icon at all. If you see a Cloud with an arrow, the file is not on your PC yet.
Checking these status icons helps you avoid missing files and ensures you successfully download music from itunes to pc for permanent local storage.
