Yes, it uses your data if you listen to music "from the cloud" while not on WiFi. As for clicking the cloud and circle, that typically happens when you're either downloading the song to your iPhone or if it's buffering.

My new I pod touch has added my entire library to my I phone 9000 + songs and most won’t download leaving the cloud . Is there a way to stop the buffering as I cannot download this content . Alternatively if I purchase a contract with unlimited data this will solve the data problem .

can I check does having the cloud with downward arrow on tracks have any significant impact
