What is this symbol?

On an iPod touch 5th gen, in itunes, my music, there is a symbol next to some of the songs that looks like a cloud with a downward arrow. What does this symbol mean? I can still play these songs, so it can't be to download. Thanks!

iPod touch, iOS 7.0.4

That symbol appears for songs purchased in the iTunes Store. When you see that symbol, it means that the song is not stored on the iPod, so you can listen to it from the iTunes Store if you press the title. If you press the cloud symbol, the song will be downloaded to your iPod touch and all your devices with Automatic Downloads enabled.
