Really annoying how this is handled in iOS 10 vs previous iOS versions. I agree with others on this thread, show us what we've synced and bring back the toggle switch which was there in earlier iOS versions. Allow us at least to make the choice ourselves. Oct 7, AM.

I am new to the iPhone. Sixteen months since I switched from Android. I got it to play CD quality music via iTunes while I'm in the car. But Apple is pushing too many of my buttons: no headphone jack; Siri, which is damned near useless compared to Google Now; and weird quirks like this which appear to have no reasoning other than to generate new income streams for Apple. So I have started experimenting with Spotify and its sound quality, and I've found that it's intuitive, has decent sound quality for the car , and is possibly a decent replacement for Apple Music.
But the Google Pixel is presenting me with a tempting option: A personal assistant that isn't an idiot, music that may just be "good enough," and the self-respect to escape a company that treats me like a ten-year old who's being "educated" in what is right for him.

I DON'T want to see my entire library, which is 10x bigger than what I keep synced -- it's a huge pain to scroll through, and doubly so now that two thirds of the artist icons are Pastel Rainbow Microphone.
Plus, it's not even showing the whole library e. Also, limiting to "Downloaded Music" does indeed get you "showing only music on this phone" -- but it also only displays "recently added" items. This is a small thing, seemingly, but in practice it's a massive annoyance. I LIVE with my phone's music, and making it this hard to access is absolute garbage.
I'm way overdue for an upgrade, and for the first time in ten years I'm actually considering leaving the entire Apple ecosystem behind. Oct 8, PM in response to sskkooommaa In response to sskkooommaa. You have to select "Downloaded Music"every time you open the app.
This is garbage. This is ridiculous. What was apple thinking?! Fix it. And on my phone, selecting "Downloaded music" shows me sixty albums -- yet there's times that many actually on the phone. So my choices are "see every single thing in your iTunes library, even if you don't want it and didn't sync it to your phone and will have to stream it good luck with that and enjoy scrolling through Pastel Rainbow Microphone icons trying to find what you want" -- OR, "only see the few dozen most recent purchases that are synced to the phone.
Has anyone actually from Apple responded to this? I've spent the last two hours poking around online looking for answers, going all through the phone's Music options, the Settings, everything, and I can't make this Not Suck.
Like, I am so angry and frustrated I actually dug a year-old iPod with a scroll wheel out of a box of dead electronics to see if it still works. Oct 10, AM in response to trevno In response to trevno.
I agree that the lack of a toggle for "Show Downloaded Music" is annoying, but I don't understand why you are taking so many steps. With the info from your post, I learned about the "Downloaded" link.
Clicking that got me:. Oct 10, AM. My Downloaded Music "recent stuff" is in chronological order, as it is in desktop iTunes, not alphabetically. Also, the first time I went to Downloaded Music through the library, it didn't show any other sorting options. So, thank you for prodding me in the right direction! But I still hate this system I don't see how this an improvement in going between your synced music and your whole library , I hate the needless confusion, and I super ultra hate the Pastel Rainbow Microphone of Annoyance.

View answer in context. I am having all the same problems. Apple has made huge blunders in this space. And ridiculously still holding onto their arrogant pricing too.

I am missing at least 6 albums I have purchased from iTunes. They aren't showing up on any of my devices but when I go back to them in the iTunes Store they're available to download. Something is seriously wrong. Your stealing back music from me that I paid for and hoping I don't notice. Dec 13, PM. If you hit the Jan 24, AM. I've been struggling with the same issue.
