Getting songs into the app using apple music

I love the app.  But I have spent hours trying to get songs from itunes into the app.  I have purchased a few songs and I still can't get unprotected versions.  I'll rip or do whatever at this point.  I have two purchased songs on my computer itunes in the cloud, but the Anytune app doesn't show these.  

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!!

  Anytune should play songs directly from your iTunes library with no trouble.

  If you are using Apple Music and iCloud Music Library and you played a song you own before it was in your library and "matched",  iTunes would download a DRM Protected version into your library.
  
  In the  Music app / iTunes:

  1. Choose the song that Anytune cannot play. 
  2. Right-Click > Song Info > Files and look for the Kind field.
     If the Kind: includes "Apple Music" or "Protected" OR
     you see "size Stream" the file is DRMed and Anytune cannot access the song data. 
  3. You will need to delete the DRM version from your library and add an unprotected version to your library.
     1. Go to  iTunes Store and click Purchased
     2. Click the  Download button

  Verify the song is available from iTunes Store before you delete your copy. Sometimes the content provider may modify the content or remove it from iTunes Store. In such cases, you may not get an option to re-download them.

  You can also rip a CD or add a non-DRM protected version of the song to your library. 

  If it is not showing as "Apple Music" or "Protected" Anytune should play it. If it is showing as protected in Anytune please Report a problem on Mac and include a screen capture.

  The support document Cannot play Protected songs has more details.
