Figured it out. Bastards hid it under a drop down in the app instead of in the settings like it should be. Ha, probably should have waited a few more minutes before posting that question.

Maybe you could share what your found with everyone.

[Ledsteplin]

It was pretty straightforward for me. Just tap "My Music" at the bottom. What drop down?

[jamestoohey]

Please tell me where you found this menu. I found it too and turned it off but now I want to turn it back on and can't find it anywhere

You turned off "My Music"? How? I don't see an option to do that.

I don't see it either.

Tap the artist twisty



Then the show online option is at the bottom.

[johnielsen08]

Select My Music > Library (at the top to the left of "Playlists") > Artists (below the "Recently Added>" albums). This will display options for displaying your music library and a toggle at the bottom for "Music Available Offline - Only show music stored this iPhone." Change that and it will only show the music downloaded to your phone.

Finally found it. Why they would make it so hard to find that is beyond me. Thanks for the tip guys!

[norrisw9]

I agree it is not straight forward. Also seems all my music except one song has been removed from my phone. Could be the funky i unes interface i saw for the first time last night. Back to the drawing board tonight.

Thank you! It still shows my whole library, faded, but at least useful. Hopefully I can make a playlist of only loaded traveling iTunes etc. almost makes me wish I didn't have such a huge library and just stuck to the radio. The real rub is that Apple has a nice table for "all music NOT on this device, as if there was no way I could have a library that exceeds the 128g of this phone

[richardegamezjr]

Making a playlist of Downloaded music, finally gives me the ability to shuffle only music I have already downloaded. Thanks for starting this thread, has always been annoyed about this but only now enough to search for a solution. Good grief, Apple!

You are a life saver! Thank you!

[richardegamezjr]

Appreciate the previous solutions. But is there a way to actually only show music on device, instead of merely fading my entire library?

What do you mean by "fading your library"? Are you talking about music you have paid for or own?

I'm not sure why your device is showing everything. If you followed what bamf-hacker posted, you should only be seeing downloaded music. Try rebooting your device and see if that corrects the issue.

I have the same issue as richardegamezjr: no way to stop showing all music (though it does get greyed out if I select "Only Downloaded Music, Show only music available offline"), and no way to stop it from playing music that's not downloaded (unless in Airplane mode or otherwise without connection).

Do you have iTunes Match as well as Apple Music? That may be the cause of the problem. But, there is no solution that I've found. What a terrible job Apple has done of dealing with iTunes Match and Apple Music.

Thank you so much! I've found it now, it was really annoying me.

Anoner thing - to see the 'only show music...'option, you also need to turn off home sharing, because otherwise it will be replaced with a home sharing option and menu.

[Tartarus]

I simply turn of Cellular Data in Settings Music if I want only my downloaded or cached songs to play without burning through my cellular data.
Saves me the hassle to go through the Show Music Available Offline.

Also, showing offline music only shows downloaded music, whereas disabling cellular data also lets you play cached songs.
