Q: iOS 10 - Show only downloaded music

Hi all, It appears that the Music app forces us to display our iTunes purchases. I do not like this and only want my downloaded music to appear on the device.

 

I'm not ok with tapping the >Downloaded tab every time I open the app. There must be a solution, so how do I fix this?

 

I would not have updated had I known this feature would be so strongly imposed. Thanks for your help.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

    I absolutely hate this. I also don't need a screen full of "recently added" titles, as I already KNOW what I've recently added. Terrible update.

    It is an incredibly clumsy design. Did they even test this with real users?

    Completely agree.  This is a step backwards.  We have not yet migrated to Family Share so all music all of us download are all on my iTunes account.  I downloaded only song's for my younger son on his iPad and iTouch but now he is able to see and listed to any song downloaded under our account.

     

    In iOS 9 there is a switch in the Music Setting to "Only Show Downloaded Music" but I like the idea someone posted above if Apple doesn't want to go that route and instead replace the "Downloaded Music" playlist with a "Purchased Music" playlist and always default to only show and play only music downloaded on the particular iOS device.

     

    Almost make me want to go dig out my old MP3 player from the unused electronics box and use that for my younger son.

    BUt it's in random order. I need them in alphabetical order.
