Hi folks,

I just set up a new Windows and installed a vanilla iTunes. Since I have iTunes Match, all my songs are there anyway - hurray!

Then I noticed that all played songs are only streamed and not downloaded like it happens on iOS devices. But I would LIKE iTunes on my PC to just download what I am listening to. I don't see the point in creating network traffic all the time by downloading songs I have listened to multiple times already. I could, of course, just manually download the titles I listen to often, but I would prefer if this would be possible automatically somehow.

Is there an option I missed? Can I get my iTunes to just download the songs just like on my iOS devices?

Thanks!

P.S.
Just thought of a workaround: Create a smart playlist with the condition that the songs must have been played x times; I would still need to download new songs manually from time to time by downloading everything in that list. But perhaps someone can just tell me the correct switch :)
