Howdy Tine Preston,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.


I see you've bought some music from the iTunes Store but you're unable to listen to them unless you're connected to a Wi-Fi network. To help resolve this issue, you'll need to make the music available offline. To accomplish this please follow the steps outlined below.


Listen offline

You can save songs—including songs that you bought from the iTunes Store, added from Apple Music, or that were matched or uploaded with Apple Music or iTunes Match—to your device for offline listening. Tap User uploaded file next to the item. Then tap Make Available Offline to save them to your device.

To see music that you saved to listen to offline, go to My Music. Under the Recently Added section, tap the category selector (Artists, Albums, etc.). Show Music Available Offline is at the bottom of the category list. When this setting is on, My Music shows only songs that you saved to your device. Turn this setting off to see all of your music, including music stored in iCloud Music Library.

Using the new Music app



Have a good one.
