Why is XBOX Music Re-Downloading...ALL OF My MUSIC???

I am having this problem too. Turning off the "When I add or buy songs from Xbox Music on other devices, automatically download them here" simply doesn't work. And I've already uninstalled/reinstalled the app.

Why is XBOX Music Re-Downloading...ALL OF My MUSIC???

There are two problems this causes, 1). the folder is taking up lots of disk space. 2). it causes problems 'no license' when playing in Media Center.

My library is on it's own drive h:\Music\. Media Center uses the same folder. Music Pass is using H:\Music\Xbox Music\Xbox Music Pass\ which means these write protected files are in my library. Media Center finds these wma right protected files on the XBox,
and my other win 8 machines running Media Center, and they stop playing by popping a message stating license not found. I own all of these songs since I bought the CD's and ripped them to the library myself.

All I want to do is start up Media Center on the Xbox and play all of my music without stopping, but since this folder is within my library and Media Center cannot locate the Media Pass license for these files, it stops playing.

I searched for a registry entry to move the '\Xbox Music Pass\' directory out of my library but no luck.

A solution would be nice.

That setting you mention does what you have described. Weird though that turning it off still downloads the songs. Try uninstalling the Music app and re-installing and see what happens.
