No worries: Here's how you can still use Apple Music without it.</p> <p>Apple Music and iTunes Match both offer access to iCloud Music Library, an uploading-and-matching service that lets you access all your Mac's songs from up to 10 of your devices.</p> <p>If you'd prefer not to use iCloud Music Library as part of your Apple Music subscription, however, here's how to go about it.</p> <h2>Why wouldn't you want to use iCloud Music Library?</h2> <p>There are a few reasons some folks are hesitant about iCloud Music Library right now: You may have over 25,000 tracks on your Mac, more than will fit in iCloud. You may have a lot of manually-tagged metadata and artwork, and don't want to risk Apple accidentally mis-matching your songs when making them available on other devices.</p> <p>Alternatively, you may just not see the point in streaming your local music to other devices when you have the Apple Music streaming catalog at your fingertips.</p> <h2>What changes when you disable iCloud Music Library?</h2> <p>If you disable iCloud Music Library on all your devices, here's what changes for you vis a vis Apple Music:</p> <ul><li>You can't stream songs from your Mac's library on your iPhone, iPad, or other Macs.</li> <li>You can't download songs or playlists from Apple Music to your other devices—which also means no offline access.</li> <li>You can manually sync music from your iTunes library on your Mac to your iPhone via Wi-Fi or USB.</li> </ul><h2>Can I enable iCloud Music Library on some devices but not others?</h2> <p>Absolutely. If you don't want iCloud Music Library to sync with your Mac, but still want to save songs for offline play on your iPhone, you can choose to only enable iCloud Music Library on your mobile devices.</p> <p>Unsurprisingly, this means that any songs or playlists you save from the Apple Music catalog will only show up on devices with iCloud Music Library enabled; you won't see any local Apple Music content on your Mac if you choose not to enable it there.</p> <h2>How to enable or disable iCloud Music Library</h2> <h3>On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch</h3> <ol><li>In the <strong>Settings</strong> app, tap <strong>Music</strong>.</li> <li>Scroll down to the <strong>iCloud Music Library</strong> setting.
