Q: The "turn on iCloud music library" setting won't stay on my PC

I want to share my iTunes library across all my idevices (iPad, iPhone, iPod).  Each device has different storage limits and my music library is much larger than any of my devices.  In my iPad, I set the iCloud Music Library setting to "on" and it stays.  On my PC (not a Mac), I have my music library uploaded in iTunes and all the files are on a USB drive connected to the PC.  They are NOT on the local hard drive.  When I change the setting in iTunes to "use iCloud Library", it appears to synch my music to my iCloud account.  However, when I check back the next day, the setting has been turned off.

 

1. why would the setting not stay?

2. how can I verify what songs are in my primary music library in iCloud?

3. I can see some of my files on the iPad now, but not very many.  Also, there are some albums that are not complete and show only a few songs.  The others are greyed out.

4. I want to ensure that no files are downloaded offline/locally to the iPod because of limited storage.  However, I would like to have some songs able to be played offline on the iPad, as it has much more storage.

 

Thanks for the help.
