Why do some Apple Music songs show as downloaded while others don't?

When I choose a new song from Apple Music, I always download the song. When i choose all songs listing some are downloaded and some are not. Why do some songs show downloaded, and some don't ?

Apple Music Library songs not playing in Music app Music that is added to my library in Apple Music will not play in Music app. Only songs that will play are from the store. Any time I add a song for download to my library, when I go to launch it to play, it doesn't play and glitches out. Sometimes, it will start playing some other song from the Apple Music Store.
