If you use several Apple devices and have an Apple Music subscription, you may find it helpful to utilize the iCloud music library. When signed into the same iCloud account on all devices, the feature will sync all of your songs, albums, and playlists and even restore purchases regardless of whether you bought them on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
However, this service isn't without its downsides. If you have a significantly large music library, downloading across devices can take hours or even days. In addition, some have found that the iCloud music library messes up the metadata of your tracks, which you might find inconvenient. Whatever your reasoning, if you choose to turn off your iCloud music library, doing so is easy and should only take a few seconds.
