Apple Music clogs up storage space

I've been using Apple Music for a couple of days and am very happy. But unfortunately I've noticed that Apple Music stores all songs that have been played and/or liked.

Is this normal?

I don't understand that a couple of days of music takes 3 gb of storage space. And definitely do not understand how Apple can keep bringing 16 gb phones out!

Because Apple Music is actually downloading as "cache" all the songs that you play from Apple Music library. And yes, it is not a 100% streaming service :-(.

PD: You can delete all that cache from the following directory

1- "var/mobile/media/CloudAssets" (delete all files inside)

2- "var/mobile/media/LoFiCloudAssets" (delete all files inside)
