Why do I have extra songs in my iPhone playlist that are not on my iTunes library?

I had the same problem. Tried restoring the phone multiple times, each time set the phone up a different way. So I called apple and the manager of apple care told me I was doing something wrong because he never have heard of this. He told me to turn off show all music and turn off iTunes Match and they were off! He kept saying It was my fault, but me majoring in I.T. I knew it was a glitch. Finally I decided to just disregard apple and try to get this fixed my self. Know what you have been waiting for is the answer to this fix. All you have to do is go to settings-iTunes and App Store and and from there sign out. Look for those songs that you can't deleted on the phone. They will be gone! Then sign back in and you won't have the problem again unless you do any rest(like "network rests" under settings) then you have to repeat the step. And if so some odd reason they download again just repeat. But don't worry you shouldn't run into that problem ever again! I'm hoping that apple will fix this glitch!

I have this exact same problem. It's very infuriating. I'm pretty sure these songs are coming from your iCloud. They should be songs that you previously purchased or downloaded on your iTunes account. To get rid of them, go to Settings->iTunes & App Store. Then click on your Apple ID and sign out. The extra songs should be gone. You can then sign back in and the songs should still be gone. However, they are still liable to come back. In my case, they were added whenever I told Siri to "Shuffle all songs" I guess I'll be holding off on that feature until this is fixed.

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)

Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.

Solution for the problem:

1 - go to your IPhone settings

2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"

3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"

4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)

Should solve your problem :~)

This nuisance feature is reason enough to never buy another piece of music from iTunes. I even turned off my iCloud account on the phone using Delete Account and I still get the songs that I do not want.

I have been vexed by this problem for months. The most annoying part is that I downloaded a set of "Scary sounds" to play on halloween night. I have been "haunted" by these sounds since halloween, in spite of having deleted these sounds from my library. This solution finally got rid of them. Oddly, I still don't undertand why the "show all music" feature would ever be useful, and it is totally mis named.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIX MINE FOR WEEKS. THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WORKED

RobZthird, you are real Genius. Tks alot. Hopefully improvement of this is on the way!

What I would recommend is that you go into your usage and from there delete all of your music. Then sync it back on to the phone or iPad. I'm hopping that 7.1 will fix this!

I did some more thinging...You don't need to delete your icloud laccount you need to go to setting and go to iTunes & App Store and sign out. that will delete the songs then reboot the iphone.

Not sure if this will help, but I went into iTunes on my computer and hid the purchases I didn't want playing.

There was a ton of music I know I didn't purchase that needed hiding... No idea where they came from.

Anyway... iTunes > iTunes Store > Purchased ... There should be an "x" in the corner of each album. Click to hide.

No need to change settings, log out, or reboot your phone.

I just want to HUG YOU! This WORKED! Honestly, last night, for the first time in my LIFE, I considered buying a product that was in some way related to *gulp* Microsoft because of this iCloud iTunes problem. And today I came across your solution. Thank you SO MUCH!

The only thing that worked on my iPhone is to delete every single song manually.

In Music go to album, select the album, then quickly and lighly keep swiping right to left on the right side of the screen - you'll get into the rhythem to quickly delete songs.

Thank you so much! This has been driving me crazy for literally months!!

It didn't work for me. When I signed out they were gone, but when I signed back in, they came right back. Since it worked for everyone else - is there something else I should do?
