Q: stop an album bought from iTunes being online on my phone only

i don't want an album on my phone but i want to keep it on other devices, since it was bought from the iTunes store its been automatically put on my phone when I'm online but i don't want it to be. Will 'deleting purchase' off my phone delete it from other devices?

if so how can i get the song off my phone and not other devices when online?

iPhone 5s

    Hey emkatcole,

     

    I understand you have a music album in your collection that you would like to not have appear on your iPhone, but you would like to keep it in other locations, is that correct? 

     

    It sounds as if this music is available when your iPhone is online only, which means that the music files themselves do not reside on your iPhone. If you delete those songs, they will be unavailable not only to this iPhone but to any other devices using this iCloud Music Library. See this article for more explanation - Delete songs and music videos from your iCloud Music Library.

    Happy computing.
