Songs with cloud icon in my iTunes on my iPhone?

I know that these songs are stored on my iCloud to be able to download when connected to a wireless network, but I don't know why these specific songs were selected, so I don't want them showing up on my iTunes, or if I can choose these songs myself, I'd rather choose ones that I may actually want to listen to. Right now the songs that show up are entirely random and not songs that I would choose to listen to (I have a lot of music on my iTunes that is either old or never listened to). If you know how to get rid of them or how to choose them, I'd appreciate the help!

Songs with cloud icon normally mean that you have purchased the songs from iTunes and you can get them for free using the same account that you bought the songs on. Same applies to apps. You can only delete songs on your iPhone not in the iTunes App.

  • Why do some of my songs have a cloud beside them? I just got a new iphone and some of my songs have a cloud some don't but they all play and it says my music is using 1gb but it should be using like 8gb. But i have 64gb

  • ITunes won't download all the songs to my iphone 6s after transffering my list of songs from my old macbook to my PC I transferred my list of songs from my old Macbook to my PC with iTunes. For some reason, iTunes won't download ALL the songs to my iPhone 6s from my PC. For example if I want to download a whole album it will only download few songs from that album. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I also noticed how long it takes to download just few songs from my PC to my iphone 6s which is really frustrating.
  • I don't have photo icon in my itunes? I just want to delete the photos from "photo library". I can delete the photos from "camera roll" from iphone itself by using the trash button… No option exist for photo library in iphone. I guess the only way to delete the photos in photo library is if i had a photo icon in my itunes which for some reason i don't.many have this problem and it seems no one has figured the answer online yet… If you have, please let me know…
