Why is - this download of songs that I add to a playlist?

Xbox Music app, win RT; I'm building a playlist and I added each song to my new reading list, it automatically starts downloading the songs.  I do not want to download, just add them to the playlist so I can listen to the playlist of my phone or Xbox or a computer at work.

What I am doing wrong?

Thank you!

Hi magicrobots,

Thank you for using the music application. When you add songs to a playlist, they also get added to your my music. By default if you have a past of the music, the songs will be downloaded so that you can listen to the songs (and playlist) offline.

If you prefer not to have to songs download automatically, you can change this behavior with the following steps:
1. open the music application
2. open the charms bar (hit the right side of the screen, or the type of Windows + C)
3. click on settings
4. click on Preferences
5. change the setting "Pass music downloads: when I add songs to my music, upload them automatically to this device" to OFF

After you change this setting, added to a playlist of songs don't will be automatically downloaded. Note that you can always download songs or albums, playlists together, to keep in offline mode by clicking on the download button in the app bar.

Hope that helps!

Thank you
Scott
