I've got my new 7+ and use Apple Music. The question is, how do I download my library to my phone without doing it album by album.

In iOS 9 I grouped by genre and downloaded the entire genre which seemed to quickest way. This is no longer an option.

Create a playlist that contains all songs. (This appears easiest to do on a computer connected to your Apple Music account - I haven't figured out a way to realistically do this in iOS 10). Go to the playlist on your phone and force touch on the playlist and choose Download.

It's a bit easier. Previously you had to manually scroll to the bottom of the playlist to find the Download All option.

I don't think many people do this so Apple doesn't work very hard at it.
