Just playing songs I have downloaded to my iphone

So I just want to play just those songs I have downloaded to my iphone from my matched library. How do I know what has been downloaded to my iphone? Is there a folder denoting this info and allowing me to shuffle and play those songs only?

I have that setting off but my music still plays from the cloud. Annoying when I have Christmas music on there! Or music from a memorial service..what a party pleaser! Help is appreciated!!

  • Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  How can I get my songs to play?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so.  The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed.  When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song.  When I select this option I get nothing.  The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to.  I can't the songs to play however.  This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them.  Actually, one song is too many.    How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

    Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

  • I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine

    I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine. I can't play the 2 song on my lap top and I-pod.

    Hello Jigz19,
    It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:

    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If so, then delete the songs:

  • HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
    Thanks

    I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
    Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

  • Is there a way for your backup to remember what songs you have downloaded with itunes match

    i use itunes match, but i download the songs to my device as i have spotty service where i work and live.
    i am upgrading to a larger size iphone and dont want to have to search through itunes match again and select all the songs i want to download again once i get the new phone. is there a way that itunes match will "remember" what song i have downloaded to my device and "re-download" them to the new device?
    maybe via a playlist then just download the playlist? this seems like a lenghty way of doing it though.
    anyhelp, tips or advice would be greatly appreciate. thanks

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
    What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Losing songs I have downloaded

    I have been having trouble losing MP3 songs I have downloaded from Amazon. I will suddenly get an exclamation point before the song and it can not be found. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it from happening again? Can Some one help me please?

    I had trouble with the Amazon downloader a few weeks back and had to reinstall it. Not quite the same problem as yours. Since it's just happening with songs from Amazon, it could be something with their downloader. Do you have it set to automatically add the songs to iTunes? The song files should still be on your hard drive, in any case.
    If it's just a few songs with the problem, right-click > Get Info on the ones that have the ! and you can browse to where they are on the hard drive. If its quite a few songs, just add them back into itunes and delete the ones that show !

    Hi, my friend have been sending me songs via Whatassps and i have downloaded in my iPhone 6  but i couldn't find all those download songs. Please help. Thanks.

    music can only be installed and listened to either via iTunes on your computer or by downloading from the iTunes Store, so stop wasting your time with other methods.

  • I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    You can view tracks in a given format by selecting to show the Kind column. If you mean you want to determine which specific MP3 tracks you have that were converted by iTunes as opposed to being imported in MP3 format, Get Info on a track and look at the "encoded with" field.

  • HT201272 Some of my song purches have downloaded while others will not.  Any ideas how to fix this?  I've tried to hit songs still not downloaded and it says there are no songs to be downloaded.  Thanks

    I've bought several songs from the iTunes stores.  Some of the songs automatically download to my laptop, which is set up to receive these songs.  Other songs won't download no matter what I try.  They should be downloading to my Windows Media Player which is the default player.  I'm running Windows 7.  If you can help I'd really appreciate it!

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

  • Can't play songs that have a "old" account name?

    i have a number of songs that have different account names.... some have my user name and then some have my user name plus "@.mac.com" at the end of the name... the ones without the @mac.com will not play? any ideas?

    I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
    Meanwhile, this may help:
