Why is all of my purchased music streaming from the cloud? This uses cellular data and I bought a 128GB phone specifically to save my own library.

Why is all of my iTunes Purchased music streaming from the Cloud? This uses cellular data while I am not in a wi-fi zone and I purchased a 128GB phone specifically to store MY music since I PURCHASED the songs. I have hit the download option, but still not downloaded and greyed out. It asks me if I want to remove download but yet no downloads are happening on the Purchased tab on the iPhone.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1

Both. I have turned iTunes Match off and synced that way and then turned it back on. (That worked several updates back) I haven't lost any music that I am aware of, just streaming and eating up my data usage from Verizon.

I don't get why you use Match. If you don't want your music to be in iCloud and stream to your device, and want it locally on your device not using cellular data. Why use it? That's exactly its purpose, to keep music in iCloud and stream it, instead of saving it locally on your phone. Useful when you have low capacity. Your situation is the exact opposite! 😕
