Is there a way to not auto-download music videos?

I have auto-download songs in my library turned on. However, I think that means anything added to my library is auto-downloaded.

When I add an album with videos in it to my library the music videos are added to and so they download. I don't mind having videos in my library, but I don't want them to download. They'll eat up my storage.

Is there a setting to only auto-download music that's added to my library and not music videos?

Hi pclaradactyl,

We understand you're trying to change the automatic download settings in Music. We're happy to help.

Currently the Automatic Downloads setting in Music is an "all or nothing" option. If it's on, anything you add to your library will be automatically downloaded whether it's a song, video or playlist. If it's off, then nothing you add to your library will automatically download, and you can manually choose what items you'd like to download.

You can find more info on the different options and preferences in Music here: Change General preferences in Music on Mac

If you'd like to see more customization options for the download settings, you can submit those ideas to our engineers here: Product Feedback

We hope this helps. Take care!
