Q: Why does Music use 3 GB on my iPad when I'm using Cloud? Is it the pics of album covers for my playlists? If so can I replace them with simple list like my Song list?

I noticed that I am using three gig storage for Music when in fact I am using the cloud for my music. I also noticed that when I choose set list I have pictures of artists on my iPad. Could that be the reason I am using so much space?  I use the cloud in order to not use up much storage space for music on my iPad but yet it appears I am.

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3

    Are you subscribing to itunes match?

    If you are, you still have music locally in order to listen. Delete it to empty space.

    If you aren't you are not using icloud for music. Delete it to empty space anyway. Make sure you backed it up besides icloud either way.

    I belong to iTunes in order to put music on my computer and sync to my iPod.  I don't know if I belong to iTunes Match??  I have noticed that the vast majority of my songs when not connected to the Internet  are grayed out and not playable..  Then again there is a minority that are playable. Why are the color album photos of my playlist on my iPad.music.  Does't that use up storage space? Is there a way to get rid of them?
