Hi

Some advice please?
I have a lot of music in iCloud/Match. I don't subscribe to Apple Music.
On both my iPhone and iPad with iOS10, I can turn on iCloud, see my entire library, and download albums.
I see them download and they appear in the "Downloaded Music" section of the music app.

However, once I turn off iCloud in the settings (as it is a battery drain), not all of my downloaded music appears - it's as only the albums in iCloud i officially bought from iTunes appears.

If i go to the Storage option in Settings however, and go into the music option, I can see the other albums I've downloaded in there!!!

What's going on?

Having iCloud enabled doesn't drain battery.

I beg to differ
But I spoke to apple and they solved my main issue - apparently you need iTunes to be at its latest version for recently uploaded albums to download onto another device properly
