How do I download music to only one device?
I'm on Apple Music with my Apple Id. I have an iphone and an iPad. I'd like to download tunes to my iphone, but not my iPad. Can I do this? If so, how?

The link says:
"When you add songs, albums, and playlists to your
Library, they automatically add to your other devices, as long as you're signed in to all of your devices with the same Apple ID."
The question is: what if i don't want the songs downloaded in all my devices, but just in one of them. This problem is getting me nuts. The main reason I'm always short in storage in my iphone. Every time I download music in my mac for offline listening, it also downloads it in my iphone and ipad.
You could try the following -
1. Go into Settings on your iPad
2. Tap iTunes & App Store
3. Tap and disable Automatic Downloads for Music
This should prevent any automatic downloads of Music to your iPad when purchased from iTunes on other devices.

View only downloaded music
If you want to see only music that's downloaded to your device, follow these steps:
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: In the Music app, tap Library > Downloaded Music. A message that says "Showing only music on this [device]" appears at the top of the screen. Tap Library in the upper-left corner to see all of your music.
