I guess I don't understand. Apple has an iTunes subscription music service where you pay $10 a month and can play everything, similar to Amazon or Spotify. But if you purchase an album its still available for you to play in your personal library, you don't have to subscribe to the music service. The subscription service lets you access all their music for one monthly fee, but you don't get to keep it if you unsub. The music you have purchased is still yours to use, regardless of if you used the subscription service.

They encourage you to store it in the cloud and my playlists won’t transfer from itunes
In the iTunes Store app at the bottom there should be a 'more...' option. If you click that and then click 'Purchased' and then click 'Music' all your purchased music should be there. You can then download it to your phone to play. (But yes the ads on it push their new sub music service continually and annoyingly)
Also note the 'Music' app should allow you to play the downloaded music from the ITunes Store, and it should also still have supported Playlists. But you could use Vox or other player to play it too I guess.
dig through your phone settings and see what you can turn off and disable. Find an iphone debugging program.
