Q: IPOD Touch - Not all songs play w/o WIFI?


Synced all my songs to our new IPOD touch by hooking up the IPOD to computer/ITunes   Trying to figure out why some of the songs will play without WIFI and some won't (those that play have the little Ipod icon).  I thought it had to do whether the song was purchased from ITunes but not true.  I click the "Icloud" button, it turns to a circle with a button like it's downloading but then it stops 1/2 way through.

iPod touch, iOS 9.3.1

    I don't have Apple Music - it's just my own songs I have purchased or Downloaded from CD's.  Thank you for your response.  I will play around a little more later.
