If you’re an iOS user who has purchased music from iTunes and stored it on iCloud, you may have noticed that these songs appear in your music library by default. While it’s convenient to have access to your music from anywhere, it can be frustrating when these iCloud songs start playing and streaming along with your local songs, using up your data plan. However, there’s a simple solution to this problem. By using the “Show All Music” setting in the Music app, you can choose whether or not to display iCloud songs in your library.
To toggle the display of iCloud songs in the Music app, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
- Go to Music.
- Find the “Show All Music” setting.
- Toggle the setting OFF to stop iCloud songs from playing, or ON to show all songs, including those that haven’t been downloaded yet.
It’s important to note that this setting only applies to users who have a mix of locally stored and iTunes-purchased songs. If you don’t have any songs purchased from iTunes or don’t use iTunes Match, this setting won’t have any effect on your music library.
Adjusting this setting for each of your devices can be a good idea. For example, you may prefer to only show music stored on your iPhone to avoid using cellular data, but for devices like the iPad or iPod touch that primarily connect to Wi-Fi, there may be no need to turn off the “Show All Music” setting.
Keep in mind that changing this setting won’t affect iTunes Radio streaming, whether you’re connected via Wi-Fi or cellular data. However, you may experience a random disappearance of the radio button, but this issue can be easily fixed to regain access to iTunes Radio.
