Apple Music iOS: why can't i batch download content for offline listeningto iphone by genre anymore?

[jj_sutton76]

i swear a few months ago i was able to download all artists/albums within genre in my library at once. the cloud & arrow icon appeared at the top of the genre screen. this saved a lot of time as i could download multiple artists/albums with one click. now this option is gone and it seems i can only download music to listen to offline an album at a time. this will take forever. what the **** happened?

Dunno what happened to that option, but can you make a playlist with the criterion of genre = alternative and download that?

Annoying extra step I know but would achieve what you want.
