If you're not going to be connected to the internet, or if you're worried about your cellular data, you can choose to download songs, albums, and even entire playlists to your iPhone or iPad for offline listening.</p>  <h2>Why download music instead of streaming it?</h2> <p>Streaming is awesome: You can listen to anything you want—Beats 1 included—at any time, and it doesn't take up valuable space on your device. But it comes at a cellular cost, especially if you have a smaller data plan.</p> <p>And even if you have a massive cellular plan, there are places where streaming music just doesn't make sense: airplanes, for instance, or camping trips.</p> <p>Lucky for you, if you have an Apple Music subscription and iCloud Music Library enabled, you have the option to download any song, album, or playlist from its catalog for offline listening; if you use iTunes Match, you can download anything from your Mac's library on your iPhone or iPad.</p> <h2>How to add a song or album to your local library for offline listening</h2> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Music</strong> app from your Home screen.</li> <li>Go to the song or album you want to download.</li> <li>Tap the <strong>More</strong> button (looks like •••) to the right of the music.</li> <li>Tap on <strong>Make Available Offline</strong>.
