Music added in iTunes automatically shows up on iPhone?

[Akuratyde]

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue where any music I add to my iTunes library automatically downloads to my iPhone. I'm concerned about running out of storage space so I'd like to disable this feature but I cannot seem to figure out what's causing it. This only began happening a few weeks ago. I'm on iOS 9.2.1 and I have automatic downloads disabled in the iTunes & App Stores settings.

Does it have a little phone icon when you view the album? (See circled item in the first image)

Or does it have a cloud icon with a down arrow? (See circled item in the second image)

I've never had anything automatically download to my phone when adding something from iTunes.

It has the phone icon indicating it's been downloaded to the phone for offline listening.

I already have that disabled which I mentioned in my original post. It's not just songs purchased from iTunes either. Literally any MP3's I add to iTunes on my computer will automatically download onto my iPhone.

Do you have a playlist set to auto download? If the songs added show up in that playlist, they will be downloaded too. Just a guess.

I'm having the same issue since the last software update. It's a bug with the iCloud music library that disregards the "automatically download music" setting when it's turned off. I've seen it discussed on Apple's forums.

Thanks for the reply, that's good to know.
