Q: why are songs downloading to my phone?

I signed up for itunes match a few weeks ago.

 

a few days later I started getting warning that I was abut to use all my data on my att account

 

I see that in my ios music app there are songs downloading, random songs? No idea why. I have 70,000 tracks on my itunes at home and by no means is the ios trying to download them all, just a random selection of my music. Is there some setting that is trying to fill up free space on my phone or is this a glitch or what?

 

I keep stopping the downloads on my iPhone, but new ones appear?

 

Thanks for all feedback

 

All software is current

    Do you have your phone set up to show all purchased music, even if it is not downloaded? While usually they don't actually download to the phone in this case, I would still check it. You can do this by going into your music app, tapping on the red drop down menu at the top (this is where you see the option to view songs, playlists, albums, etc) at the bottom you will see "only offline music", make sure this is switched on. Not sure if this will help, but the fact that they are all songs you already own makes me think this may be the issue. Good luck!
