Q: Listening to apple music offline

I Would like to listen to my music offline. The easiest way would be the following suggestion. Once we create a play list there should be an option that says: download to listen offline. Once you select the option then every song you place in that playlist is automatically downloaded to the playlist and when you are not online the music is automatically played for you offline.

IVe vey verified that my music is turned on with ICloud and still when I'm offline the only music I can listen to is the music I've purchased. Any music from Apple music is greyed out and since I'm offline I can't listen to any of that music. Please fix this. other services provide this feature with no problem. Otherwise after the free trial I must go back to Spotify. I love apple and would love to continue using this service but I must have capability to play offline. Online eats up data. I hope someone reads this information.

    This does work for me. I've created a playlist on my iPhone and used the "Make Available Offline" menu option to download all the tracks. I have my iPhone set so that Apple Music can't download or stream over cellular so I use the offline playlist when I'm on the bus etc. I added a few more albums to the playlist last night and they automatically downloaded to my phone.

     

    If you create a playlist then open the ... menu beside it and choose "Make Available Offline" which should download all the songs in the playlist. If that doesn't work then something else is wrong.
