How to download entire Apple music library

I downloaded some albums on my phone. I have Sync Library turned on so it automatically downloads them on my iPad. Yesterday to save data, I stopped music downloading. now I can't seem to resume downloading songs. I need to go to every album and download it separately.

Is there a way to download the entire library without having to download albums them one by one.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

Hey there kinan-a,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’d like to download your entire library at once without having to download the albums one by one. We’ll be happy to help with this.


The best way to do this may be to add your entire library into a single playlist. Then you could download the playlist. Once all the songs have downloaded, remove the playlist and the music should stay downloaded as they are in albums. You can read more about this in the following links:

We hope this helps.


Take care.
