Q: Can I automatically download Apple Music songs for offline listening?

Is there a way to automatically download songs when I add them to my Apple Music library? It's something of a pain to do this each time for every song/album I add to my library. Not to mention then doing this on three separate devices.

 

Thanks

    What I do is create a playlist and select "make available offline" for the playlist and then everything I add to the playlist is automatically downloaded to my iPhone. If you choose "make available offline" for the playlist on each device I think it will do what you want. I have much more music in my Apple Library overall than what would fit on my iPhone so I use playlists to manage what gets downloaded locally for offline listening vs the rest of my library which I tend to stream over Wifi. I occasionally add and remove things from my offline playlist to keep things fresh during the work commute.
