[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1798764, member: 83420"] Hi Pyrate Dave I've not replied for a day or two mainly because Patrick was doing a fine job and I doubted I could contribute more. But I have thought about your problem a lot and my instincts always come back to settings. On your X, if you go into Settings > Scroll down to Music and tap on that. It would be interesting to know what your settings are with respect to mine. Mine: "Show Apple Music" off (I don't subscribe to that). LIBRARY - "Show Star Ratings" off. "iCloud Music Library" off. It's that last setting, "iCloud Music Library" which I'd most like to know about as regards your settings. If yours is ON, then I perceive a potential conflict in that you are syncing your Music via iTunes (many times, you said above). Now, if you do that and iCloud Music Library is on, there might be a conflict. If you want to use iCloud to back up your Music, then I suggest you do the following: Switch off "iCloud Music Library" on your iPhone. Now go into iTunes > Preferences > General and check the box "iCloud Music Library". This stores all your music, playlists and so on in the Cloud and allows all music to be downloaded and available on all your devices. So you have a backup. But from what you are implying, you want to control what music is on your iPhone - rather than have everything downloaded from the cloud to your phone - thus syncing with iTunes. If I've got this right, then you have to turn off the iCloud Music Library on your X. I hope at least part of that makes sense:) I may well be in error, but I see conflict issues between your manual syncing with iTunes and the possibility that iCloud is trying to sync with your X as well. Best I can do. I truly hope it works out for you. Ian [/QUOTE]
