Hi Christopher,
A couple of quick things in response to you.
Some people seem to think that songs played on your phone are not
downloaded but are cached which is why they will play if checked in
Airplane mode. No one seemed to know how long they are cached.
I also read that songs that are downloaded to your phone can be deleted by
temporarily turning off Match and then deleting the song(s).
You finished your email by saying that we can still use iTunes to do any
bulk music downloads. How do we do that?
