The whole online/offline/tracks on your hard drive is one of my bugbears when it comes to Apple music too.
At the start of this year I spent ages re-ripping my hard collection as lossless files; getting anal about tack titles, art work etc. It took me a few months to complete the project. When Apple Music came along I switched on all the various bits and bobs to get the most out of it and I suddenly started getting duplicated tracks, incorrect art work and lower bit rates; I believe this happened because I'd changed meta data on the existing tracks in my library so Apple no longer recognised them.
I've read in many places from people who are equally nerdy when it comes to their library that they've encountered the same problems. So after the Spotify Discover Weekly appeared (as previously mentioned by Mono) I took the decision to keep my own music and streaming music separate.
I have also recently started a Sonos system at home, so iTunes has pretty much been relegated to just being the base library and ripping software because I'm using Sonos' software & apps with a NAS drive. This also lets you use Spotify at the same time as accessing your library anyway.
