Q: iCloud icon

I am new to iTunes Match. Here is my question.  When I upload a cd to iTunes and choose to listen to it through iTunes using iTunes Match, I click the little iCloud icon to download it.  When I play that download in my car, etc., am I using 4G?

iPhone 5

    When you either play or download a song on your phone, you are accessing the song over the internet.  If you are connected to wifi, it will download using wifi; otherwise it will use 3G/4G.  Once it's on your phone, it can be replayed without downloading it again.

     

    You can tell which songs are actually on your phone (and will not require downloading) by going to Settings>Music and turning Show All Music to Off.  Then the only songs that will be displayed in the Music app are songs actually on the phone.  Be sure to turn this setting back to On in order to see your entire library again, including songs not yet downloaded to your phone.
