Mysterious Songs Appearing in Music App

My wife's iPhone is logged into my iCloud and set to automatically download purchased music.  It has never synced with a computer, it ONLY has songs I've purchased from iTunes.
But there are all these songs in her phone that I never purchased, and there is no way to delete them.  And they're aren't good songs, they're awful, horrible, ungodly ear-thorns that shrivel your soul whenever they play.  Hence why I so desperately want to get rid of them.  (One of them is the karaoke version of Guns 'N' Roses "Knocking on Heaven's Door" for Christ's sake!)
I've checked my iTunes purchase history just to make sure I didn't actually purchase these unholy tracks in an altered state of mind (perhaps Mr. Hyde wanting to punish Dr. Jeckyll, you never know), but they are not iTunes purchases.  In fact, some of the songs are not even availble in the US iTunes store.
Any theories?

Are you an iTunes Match subscriber? - NO
Do these songs include an iCloud download icon? - YES
Does that mean anything?

  • My music doesn't appear in Music app

    I sync all of my itunes library and iphone has over 5000 music. But it doesn't appear in iphone music app. Only 6 musicians appear.
    All music actually exists in my iphone now. I can use spotlight in iphone and listen to music that dosen't appear in music app.

    iphone 3gs and it's not fixed yet.
    After restoring it's fixed for a while, but same problem happens again after using two or three days.

  • I've bought music from iTunes and  but it doesn't appear in music app.

    I've bought music from iTunes and downloaded it but it doesn't appear in music app. Also, music I sync from computer to iPhone doesn't show up in music either? Please help!!
    The device is an iphone 5 and its got all the latest software downloads etc.

    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

  • Match is off but all songs show in Music app

    I have turned off Match but all songs still show up in Music app. This makes the music app very slow because Match has lots of songs from the iMac.
    I have a iPhone 4S. I restored iOS and I still have the problem.
    I also have an iPhone 5 logged in to the same iTunes account and it does not have this problem.

    Are you sure they're not really there?  Streaming on an iPhone isn't really streaming.  Even though it still shows the little cloud, it actually downloads the song until space is needed.  If you turn off Match or turn off
    "Show all music", these files will appear. If you haven't run low on space, everything you've ever listened to will be there.
    If you actually want to delete all the music on your phone, try
    Settings->General->Usage->Music
    then do "Edit" or right-swipe to delete it all.
    On the other hand, this really shouldn't slow things down.  I have an iPhone 4 and a huge Matched music collection, and it's pretty fast.

  • When I try to play a song with the music app on my iPod Touch, some songs freeze at the beginning and my iPod touch becomes unresponsive to anything for up to twenty seconds.  Help?

    Hi all I'm new here.
         My issue goes something like this.  When I use the standard music app to play some of my music (MOST from Beatport) on about half of the songs, my iPod will freeze and become unresponsive for up to a half minute.  After that, it normally brings me back to the playlist song selection that I was looking at previously.  I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation that is running iOS 6.1.2.  I have only three playlists, but all of the three have over 500+ unique songs on them.  (I normally don't keep duplicates of songs on my iPod)  I started to have this problem when I upated my old iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6.0.0.  Ever since I got that update, half of my songs have not and will not play.
    I have tried numerous times to reset my iPod (4th and 5th) and I even re-installed everything without using a backup.
    Any help as to what will fix my problem?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • I have many songs in the Music app but they aren't in iTunes for removal.  How do I remove these?

  • Suddenly can't play any of my songs in the Music app.?

    I've been using the Music app. in my IPad for several years without any problem. Today, it stopped working- when I press the play command, nothing happens. I've tried various ways to get it to work but to no avail.

    Hi,
    The projects are on the internal (for some reason).
    The events are on the external (that was my intention for the whole project)
    And here is the view from FCP: only the HDs can be seen. Double clicking them doesen't result in anything. The only thing the app will let me do is to create a new project! The clips in the event library is OK.

  • My song on the music app are always switching alone

    My songs are not playing they are always going to the next song alone and it never stops.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • Songs appear in music list on my iphone 4 but won't play

    The Songs are on the music list after syncing with itunes but appear faded and will not let me play them help!?

    I'm having the same problem! I spoke to an apple Genius and he said some song would have an exclamation mark next to them. That means the song has been moved from its original location. If you click the exclamation mark it will find the tracks and re sync them.
    What I didn't ask was what if there wasn't any exclamation marks next to the tracks!
    Very frustrated!

  • HT2729 How can I reconfigure the songs in my music app in my iPad

    I bought some songs in iTunes but my music directory got disconfigured when the songs were downloaded; so I don't know how to reconfigure my music portfolio so that the songs are played correctly under the correct artist. Can you please help me.

    Sorry,only songs bought with same ID can be synced to your device.

  • When I try to play a song in the music app, all it does it automatically change the track to the next song. Please help.

    Please help this has been going on for awhile.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPod?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPod shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    If these don't work try removing all music via iTunes and reinstall all the music from your iTunes library.

  • Why does my iPad and iPhone keep deleting songs from my music app by itself?

    II'm running iOS 8 on both of them and this started happening after I downloaded iOS 8.

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • My music lyrics won't appear on the lock screen in iOS 5.1.1. The lyrics appear in the music app

    PLz help my lyrics used to appear but now they don't appear I have put the lyrics in the songs but thu only appear the music app help

    Sorry, I meant swiping, not tapping.
    It took me three reboots and one restore from the previous backup, only after that it started working as expected.
    I also noticed that a lot of ram kept being marked as used although not a single app was running in the background.
    Anyway - why did it need to be a swipe instead of a tap? One can only access it after a home button press - safe enough to not accidentally activate it.
    I miss the possibility like in iOS 3 to assign the home button double-click to the camera start. THAT was really handy.

  • Phone reboots when certain songs are played on the music app?

    on my iphone 5c, if i try playing certain songs in my music app, they play for a few seconds and then my entire phone reboots. i have a lot of music on my phone and all of the songs that do this are from the same album. it also didn't start doing this until after i updates to ios 8. i've tried looking elsewhere to see if someone else has had this problem but i've come up empty. its really inconvenient because i can't even listen to those songs now. i've also noticed that its only when i have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into my phone.

    Hi princessruto,
    If you are having issues with your restarting when certain songs are played through headphones, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Song disappears from my music app on iPhone

    I bought an album and at first I had all songs on my music app, but one of the songs disappeared. WWhen I go to itunes store app and look up the song it shows i purchased it but it doesn't allow me to download it. I've searched through recent downloads and downloads on and off my phone but it doesn't allow me to download at all.. What is up with this?

    I SOLVED IT!!!
    Go to Settings - Then go to Music
    Scroll down to where it says "Show all Music" and turn it off.
    If "Show all Music" is off, it will only display music that had been downloaded to the device that you are on. The same goes for the videos app.
    Awesome!
