Q: Stop Apple Music auto downloading music?
I listen to Apple Music on my PC, then when I add songs to my library it auto downloads them to my iPhone... very annoying as it is constantly out of room. How do I stop it from auto-downloading?

Hello infraviolet888,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see that you are interested in stopping the automatic downloads to your iPhone. I suspect that the first time you downloaded some music to your device, you selected the option to automatically download when you add music to your library. This article provides some additional information on adding music to your library: Add music from the Apple Music catalog to your Library
This section explains it in more detail and how to turn Automatic Downloads off:

If you want to download music automatically
The first time that you download music to your device, you might see a message that asks if you want to download music automatically.
- Tap Download Automatically to download all songs, albums, or playlists automatically to your device. The next time you add music to your Library, it also automatically downloads to your device.
- Tap Not Now to download the music later.
If you want to turn on Automatic Downloads for all music that you add to your Library in the future, go to Settings > Music, then scroll to the Downloads section and tap Automatic Downloads.
Best regards.
