My usual procedure is to ALWAYS buy music on my Mac (Mojave) in iTunes, which auto downloads.
The songs are then visible on my iPad and iPhone in the cloud.....this is great.

However I decided to try a purchase on my iPad, thinking I could just delete the file.
The new song shows on my Mac in iTunes, but not on my iPhone.

The only option on my iPad is to delete from library (which I did), file still in iTunes on Mac.
HOWWWWW can I get the file to show on my iPhone/iPad without downloading.
It is only one song....but it's really bugging me.

Ok I have sorted it....:)

For reference, I deleted it from iPad. Deleted it from Mac and removed from Library, which then hid the purchase.
Logged in to account and unhide, then download again.

Shows up on all devices as normal.

Note to self.....stick to usual procedure....🤪
