Can i listen to the music on my cloud without downloading the music files to my computer?

Can I listen to music via the cloud without downloading the actual files to the device?
Basically I want to listen to my music at work without putting the files on my work p.c.
thanks

This is not possible. Your purchased music must be downloaded to your computer to listen to the full song.

  • Is a copy of .xml file on the iPod too? If so, how can I copy ONLY the .xml file to my computer and NOT have to copy all my music files too?

    I had to re-load my OS (Windows XP Pro) from a HD snapshot via Acronis True Image Server. I save my OS on my C: drive and all my data files on my D: drive.  So when I re-loaded my OS, I still have all of my music files intact.
    I have re-loaded the OS before and had to re-create iTunes library which I did by doing the follwing:
    1. cut & paste .xml file in iTunes folder to desktop
    2. delete .itl file in iTunes folder
    3. import .xml file through iTunes  file>library>iport playlist
    4. navigate to .xml file on desktop and import
    This worked last time I re-loaded my OS but not this time for some reason.
    So I'm wondering if there is a copy of the .xml file on the iPod itself in the iPod_Control folder that I can copy and paste to my comuter desktop and import via the above steps?
    I have seen all kinds of solutions on the web that include copying the music files from the iPod to the computer.  I don't need to do that.  I have the music files.  I just need the .xml file so iTunes can talk to my iPod (5th Generation - 30G).

    Backup your music library, that is the only way to ensure it does not go missing through theft, damage, operator error, machine breaks, upgrades go wrong, operator goes wrong .........

  • HT4913 Can I listen to my music if I'm not in a wifi zone

    Can I listen to my music if I'm not in a wifi zone

    You cannot stream music from iCloud. The song that you play on your iPhone must be on your iPhone. I do not know how convenient it is to sync a song from iCLoud play it, then delete it and sync the next song frm iCloud and play it, etc. I just put the music I am currently interested in traveling with me on my iPhone. That is currently 9GB of music on a 32GB iPhone.

  • I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

    No... do not move programs.
    About the iTunes library files
    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • I attempted to move my iTunes library so that I can share it with the other accounts on my computer. Now it won't play on any account.  How do I restore locations without losing all my songs etc?

    I was following directions on a mac board on how to share my iTunes library with my kids accounts on my computer. I must have not followed the directions correctly, as now I can not listen to any music on any account including the admin.  I don't remember where I got the instructions or what I did to reverse the things that I moved.  How do I restore my ability to listen to all the music that I have without re-aquiring it? 
    And then how do I get it so that I can share with the other accounts on my computer?
    thanks

    Without knowing what changes you made it's impossible to say what you can do to fix it, but I would suggest checking two things in the Preferences menu:  first, under the Parental Controls, make sure you haven't disabled any of the areas that won't play; second, go into the Sharing area and uncheck the "Share library on my local network" box, then go back to the main library and see if the songs will play.

  • Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading.

    Since I put my music on the cloud, I cannot access it without downloading each song individually. I thought I was going to be able to stream from the cloud without downloading. Each download takes over a minute and I have 2000 songs! How can I just listen to my music again without downloading each and every song??? BTW, I purchased the iPhone 5S hoping that this issue would be solved with more memory - it's not. At this point I just want to remove the whole cloud-thing from my phone and go back to only having the songs on one device, no download required except the original iTunes purchase. How do I do this???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It sounds as though you misunderstood the purpose of iTunes Match. You still need to have the content on the device to play it.
    However it's effectively no different than before in that you keep your most played content on your phone but are able to download stuff you rarely play should you ever wish to.
    There's no value whatsoever in iTunes Match unless your library doesn't fit on your phone.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

  • I have different music files all over three computers. Everytime I connect my iPod to one of these computers it transfer the music files from that computer but delete the music files that I already have in my iPod. I want all my music in my iPod.

    Thanks!

    I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

  • How do I listen to a song from the cloud without downloading it to phone?

    When I hit play it downloads to my Iphone. I don't want to store locally only on cloud?

    iCloud doesn't work that way. The "streaming" isn't streaming; the media is downloaded to your device and you can begin listening before the download is complete. You can always delete the songs from your device after you've finished listening; doing so will delete them from your local device only, not from iCloud or iTunes Match.
