Extra Songs on my iPhone
I have songs on my iPhone I did not put on there. I put one playlist on my iPhone with all the music I want, but when I go through my music by artists I have random artists and songs I do not want. iTunes, in "On This iPhone" > "Music," doesn't show that these songs are on my iPhone. I've turned off "automatically feel free space with songs." And the songs are still there when I'm in airplane mode, so I know they're not just there because I'm connected to my iCloud. How can I get rid of them?
I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

Why do I have extra songs in my iPhone playlist that are not on my iTunes library?
After doing the iOS7 update (and iOS7.0.2) I decided to add my music to my phone (I never had music on it before).
I discovered that there were 20 very random and obscure broadway songs that were on my iPhone in addition to the 60 songs I just synced. They had the iCloud icon by them, unlike the songs I had just added.
After doing research I found that the broadway songs were technically "purchased" on iTunes although they are not songs I would have ever purchased- in fact I have never once purchased anything on iTunes. This isn't my worry though, I am assuming it must have been some random free download I did at some point?
I went to settings > music > and turned show all music off. This did NOT work for all of them and only solved the problem 80%. There are still 4 of the random song on my iPhone. They DO NOT show up in my iTunes library on my computer and don't even exist on my computer.
With the other songs I can left swip and delete but these 4 songs won't! Why won't these four songs left swipe?
I am going crazy and have tried restarting my phone, restarting iTunes, re-syncing, turning off the iCloud. NOTHING WORKS.
Please help. I am a normally a very smart and tech-savvy person and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I don't want to wipe everything- which as a solution is a pretty weak solution.
Why won't certain songs left swipe to delete off my phone when I am in the music app?
Why do I have extra songs on my phone that don't appear on iTunes on my computer?
Where did these songs come from and how do I get rid of them?
Much thanks!I had the exact same issue!!

Turn off show all music; extra songs appear in iPhone library; unable to delete
I turn ON 'show all music', then download a couple more songs I want from iCloud to expand my iPhone5 library. Then I turn 'show all music' back OFF and a myriad of other songs appear in my library that I did not want downloded to my phone (nor did I select from the cloud) and I am unable to delete them from the library...
This sounds like a glitch with the iOS 7.0.4 as I am unable to find a similar solution in the community other than "delete all your music and start over..." which is not the route I'd like to take. If there are other remedies out there, please help! Apple, if you're listening, please fix! I have over 750 songs in the cloud!Items with the Cloud icon are not on your phone. They are items that have been purchased previously but have since been deleted. You can download them again by tapping the Cloud icon.

Synching my iPhone 5 with my iTunes today I noticed that I was starting to run out of memory. I wondered why so I checked each item in the memory status bar and it was telling me I had far more songs than I remembered. I double checked this against what the phone was telling me and there were 150 more songs (and 3.58GB more memory usage) than there should be. I unchecked all my music; albums, artists, playlists etc, so when I look in Music on the phone there is absolutely nothing there, but the memory status bar in iTunes when I plug it into my Mac tells me there is 150 songs on the phone. The 2 pictures below show the current situation:
So the question is, what's going on here and how do I get rid of these 'extra' songs and free up the space they're using?There is corrupted data on your phone. You need to restore in iTunes and resync your music. The corrupted data may be getting into the backup, and you may have to restore as new,

More songs in my iPhone music list compared to my iTunes music list?
On my iPhone 6 running IOS 8.1.3, I currently have 1624 songs. After syncing with iTunes on my Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, the count at the bottom of my total song list is 1613 (a delta of a 11 songs).
I do not have any duplicate songs after running "Show duplicate items" in iTunes. I know I have 2 podcasts and 1 music video but I don't think this is included in the song list. Although, the number of albums seem to match up just fine both having 1016 in total.
I appreciate any tips on how to figure out the difference or what could be causing why I have 11 more songs in my music list on my iPhone.This is a common occurrence. I had about 2 songs difference about 2 years ago, rectified it, and the cause was something like a free song or two I had downloaded onto the iPhone.
If it bothers you, here is the process to rectify:
In iTunes on your Mac, sync your iPhone. Then while the iPhone is plugged in, go to the iPhone's Music tab in iTunes and uncheck "Sync Music". Then click "Apply" in the lower right.
This will clear your iPhone of all previously synced music. It should leave behind the extra 11 songs.
Do what you like with these songs. Then recheck "Sync Music" and click "Apply", which will restore the 1613 songs to your iPhone. -

I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?
Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.
