Hi,

I'm noticing some strange iTunes Match related things on my new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0.2. I have a playlist which I called "5 Stars". In this intelligent playlist iTunes is adding all songs which have a 5 star rating. I noticed some days ago that all songs I marked with 5 stars were automatically downloaded to my iPhone. I'm sure my old iPhone 5 didn't do this on iOS 7. In addition to this iTunes Match is often not updating song information on my iPhone with iOS 8 and showing grayed out songs I already deletet from iCloud or showing wrong artist/title information which habe been updated on my iMac. I'm hoping these are still iOS 8 bugs but it would be nice if someone could tell me whether or not the have the same issues with iTunes Match and iOS 8.

SOmething I found out: On my iPad Air this is not happening. Also automatic downloads are turned off on the iPad. Until now I thought this option only affects purchases through iTunes but I will check later when I'm back at home what happens if I turn this option off on the iPhone as well.
