Itunes match. putting songs on Iphone !!!!

Ok This new option seems absolte rubbish. before i could add and delete song on iphone just by selecting them. how the **** do you do it now !! please dont say sync becasue that doesnt seem to works. I want to copy songs so i can play them off line when "not connected to the icloud". does see to much to ask for but seems lots of people have asked simular question over last few months with no answer !!!
