How do I get iCloud music off the phone?

Actually this isn't only for the iPhone, but all of my devices. I use the iCloud service for listening to music. I understand it does not stream and it downloads the song and stores it locally on the device.
I have lots of music now stored on devices where I intended to keep them a little more lean and clean. How do I remove that music? When I click to see what is on my iPhone I see Christmas music (it's June) and stuff I haven't listened to for ages.
I love iCloud, but if there is a simple way to remove that music from my devices, I don't see it. Even a housekeeping "remove if music hasn't been played within xx days" would be nice.

Perhaps iTunes Match would interest you.  Here's the writeup:

iTunes Match basically allows you to store all your music in iCloud.  I think that's what you're looking for.

  • How can I get my music off the cloud and onto my iphone only?

    I have an iPhone 5 (not sure if it's an S or a C).  I have the newest IOS on it.  How can I sync it so that my music is on my phone and NOT on the cloud?  It takes way too long to get my music to play when it's stored on the cloud.  I can't find anywhere in the sync instructions to help me with this.

  • How do I get my music off my phone and on my computer

    Hello All!
    I am trying to move my music from my cell (i5) to my laptop (Asus). I can work the laptop but what site am I supposed to be on for the iphone and what are the steps? Thanks!.

    You can get it off your phone, but I'm not sure you can get it on to our computer, unless you purchased it from itunes.  Not sure about any other music.
    You need to connect to itunes on your Asus, making sure the phone is on the same Apple ID as the itunes on Asus.  It should show up on the left in devices.  Then go to the library and uncheck all music in itunes you don't want on phone.  Any authorized music on phone should move to itunes, and all unchecked titles should be removed when you synchronize.

  • How do I get my music off of the cloud and back into my library

    How do i get my music off the icloud and back into just my library?  It started downloading my music in my library and put it on this icloud and now I cannot play the music in the library that has been downloaded on the icloud

    iTunes should show you two copies of the file (track) one which is in the local music folder (on the laptop / pc) and one that is available from iCloud.

    How do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....?
    Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
    You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
    There has to be a way.
    There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
    Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
    It's an audio player... not a backup device.
    If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.

    My phone was stolen.  How can I get my photos off the iCloud with Snow Leopard.

    Welcome to the Apple Community
    You can't, if the photos are in photostream you need a compatible device, if they are in a backup, you can only use the backup to restore to a new device.

  • Mac-format to PC-format: How can I get my music off an external hard drive?

    I had a mac-formatted iPod for years, and all of my music is on an external hard drive that is hooked up to that computer. When I got a new iPod after mine was stolen, I had to get a PC-formatted iPod. How can I get my music off of the hard drive and onto my PC (and eventually my iPod)? I tried uploading the files into my iTunes account on the Mac, but they don't show up in my account on the PC. Most of the music are CDs that I copied onto my computer years ago, and had on my old iPod. Help!

    Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:
    *C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
    **The file you want is called ''places.sqlite''
    You can copy that file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox by going back to ''C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>'' and overwriting the current file. Keep in mind, doing this will erase your current bookmarks.

  • How do I get my music off a MAC formatted IPOD on a Windows Computer?

    I have an old ipod nano and it was formated on an IMACm and has great music on it, but I have since switched over to Windows.  Is there a way to get my music off the ipod before reformatting the ipod for windows in which case I would lose all the music?  
    Any Help greatly appreciated!!

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer on windows. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    This is probs the oldest question out there, but how do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
