I want for my music to download automatically when I add it to my playlist/library. But when I go to setting > music > Automatic Downloads, I enable it but when I leave and check again it’s disabled and it happens all the time. I’m not sure what to do.

Hello Shelby3698,
Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We understand that Automatic Downloads for music added to your library turns off unexpectedly. We'd be happy to help take a closer look.
Let's start by checking how much available storage is on your iPhone and how much space currently downloaded music is using following the steps here:
How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
If you have an Apple Music subscription, we'll also want to ensure that Sync Library is enabled as mentioned here:
Add music to iPhone and listen offline
Next, go to Settings > Music and turn on Automatic Downloads again. If Optimize Storage is enabled right above that setting, check that the minimum storage selected exceeds the number of songs currently downloaded to the iPhone, leaving room for new songs to be added. Let us know what you find.
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply Shelby3698,
When you try to add songs to your library and auto-download, does this happen on Wi-Fi as well as cellular data? Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone then trying again?
Cheers!
So I have 27 of 64 used and about 8 is taken up by Music. And I do have sync library on and no optimize storage is enabled. I click on the automatic download and then it goes away when I come back to it still.
