Q: In Apple Music, why don't I have the "make a available offline" option anymore? It has been gone for months regardless of the song I am listening to.
I Have been an apple music subscriber for months now, and originally everything was working fine. Then one day I didnt have the "make available offline" option anymore, and it has never come back. I have tried numerous songs, thinking that maybe the option was locked out for certain songs, but it didn't help. If I can't download music, then I am not going to keep my current subscription to Apple Music.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1

Hi Jpashko,
If you are trying to download music to your iPhone for listening offline, take a look at the instructions below:
Add music from the Apple Music catalog to your library on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC
Download songs, albums, and playlists to listen to offline
You can download songs, albums, or playlists to your device so that you can listen to them when you're not connected to the Internet.* You must download songs, albums, or playlists on each device that you want to use for offline listening.
*You can download music on up to 10 devices. These songs are accessible only during your Apple Music membership.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- In the Music app, find the item that you want to download.
- Tap the More Options icon
to the right of the song, album, or playlist name.
- Tap the Download icon
to the right of the item's artwork.
If you see ainstead of the download icon, the item isn't in your iCloud Music Library.
Tap theto add the item to My Music, then tap the download icon to download the item to your device.
Songs and albums appear under My Music > Library. Playlists appear under My Music > Playlists.
Hope that helps ...
