Download ALL my music from cloud to iphone at once?

So I have a lot of music in iTunes and it's all in the cloud. Is there an easy way that I can download all that music at once to iPhone from my iPhone? Don't have access to the computer for a while so would need to be done from my iPhone, without having to click on the download arrow for each song.

You can download playlists en masse with one click. Just create a playlist that contains everything.

Maybe... add all your music to a playlist, then you can download the playlist in its entirety (phone storage permitting.) (Edit: What they ^^^ said.)

Oh sorry, realized that might be annoying to do from the phone-- playlist creation on the phone seems to be song by song. I thought there was a way to create a smart playlist but now I'm having trouble finding it if there is.

I don't believe there is a way, which is quite unfortunate. The only thing you can do is set it so it automatically downloads any songs that you add after turning on that setting.

the purchased menu does chunk them out 250 at a time, and at the top right there's a "download all" button. that's at least quicker than one at a time.

Will Settings - Music - Automatic Downloads "on" do the trick? Worth a try at least. You could reset the phone or music app before doing it, turn on automatic downloads, then set up your music again. (I'm also just guessing. I use the cloud for most of my stuff.)

koroshiya's approach above is the one I followed

Response by poster: To be clear for anyone else reading, the Purchased menu is in the iTunes App, not the Music App.
