Apple Music Help! Songs in Apple Music/iTunes Library that I didn't download...

[Attirex]

I have AM shared with my wife and two kids (got them iPhones recently), and unless I'm losing (or "loosing," as the kids write) my mind, my iTunes library has at some point (and probably not long ago), ballooned by over 2,000 tracks. Wtf. I understand that the "Automatic downloads" option enables downloading of any tracks you get from AM to all of my Apple devices automatically, but coupled with Family Sharing, does that mean any tracks my wife and kids add to their libraries, are also added to my library automatically? That doesn't seem right.

Anyway, I'm seeing many songs in my library that I *know* I didn't download. What is weird is that these random tracks usually are in sets of threes (ie, three tracks from an album). So either Family Sharing is the culprit (and my family has taste for country music that I was not aware of), or Apple is spamming my library with stuff I don't want and didn't download.

What the heck is going on? Do I need to sue someone? I want it to stop ASAP. If this for some reason continues unabated, it's gonna kill my disk space.

Thanks!

What the. Did some further investigating....displayed the "Date Added" column, then selected a couple of tracks I know I didn't download, and noticed they were all added on October 2nd at 5:27pm EST. So I sorted by this date, and there are literally hundreds of tracks in my library, that I didn't download, that aren't mine, that were added on October 2nd at 5:27pm. This includes what looks like Apple Match tracks (ie, random singles that don't have album information or cover art).

Is it possible something glitched and I have music from someone else's library?
