teacher_dennis,


Thanks so much for clarifying. It sounds like you want to download songs to your device for offline listening.


If iTunes Match has finished uploading your music library, the download icon will appear next to music that's been uploaded, and that is available for download from iCloud.


To download songs to your device, you'll need to tap the download icon on each song you want to download. If you don't see the download icon, the song is already in the local music library on your device. You can find more information about that in the first link we provided in our initial reply.


If you also use Apple Music, you can find more information about downloading content for offline listening here: Add and download music from Apple Music


Thank you!

Hi teacher_dennis,


It sounds like you'd like to access your music library on your iPhone, and we'd like to help.


Since you use iTunes Match, you can make your music library available across your devices with iTunes Match. iTunes Match lets you access your music library on your Apple devices, if you have "Sync Library" enabled.


You can find more information about that under the "About iTunes Match" section of this link: Subscribe to iTunes Match


You can find more information about syncing music across your devices with iTunes Match under the "If you don't subscribe to Apple Music" part of this link as well: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music


Take care!
