Next, on the top of the screen, tap on the search bar. Search for your favorite song(s) or album. If you select an album that’s your favorite, you just go ahead and click on the ‘+Add’ button. Now, this album will be added to your library.
Now, over the songs list, just beside any of the songs, you will be able to see a cloud button or icon. This button represents the installation/download of the song for offline listening. Once you have downloaded the songs, go back to the search and click on the ‘Your Library’ tab. There is also a single cloud/download icon on top of each album, that lets you download all the songs at a time.
Here, you can see the added album in the list. If it is an album of multiple songs, you can find them all in the list. There is one small check to make sure that these songs are now available for offline listening. That is the ‘Downloaded’ mark on top of the album screen in your library.

Syncing Apple music on your iPad and iPhone
In cases where you have multiple apple devices like an iPhone for regular usage and an iPad for non-frequent usage.
