Prevent Music app from downloading lyrics and artwork

"Prevent Music app from downloading lyrics and artwork: How do I prevent lyrics and artwork from being downloaded into iTunes/Music? I'd rather have the space for more songs. Also, is there any way to remove all the artwork and lyrics that have already been downloaded? I have 8,000 songs!"

Being removing is not a feature...

Recommend this to Apple:

Do Your Part: Inform Apple that you want this to be an option. Apple will know nothing of your ideas, if you don't provide them to them. Do so using Apple Feedback

1. Go Here: Feedback - Music - Apple
2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Select: "Library" for the "What Apple Music feature is your feedback about?"
4. Comment: that you want this to be an option, and why. Include the URL of this thread.
5. Proceed from there as necessary

The big question is, do you have these downloaded to an external source? If so, go into Settings, and toggle off a few things to avoid all of this syncing. Elsewise, it's a matter of going file-by-file, which is a last resort, when it comes to thousands of files. So, see if you can find a library in a Time Machine Backup.

Retrieve your Music Library from a Time Machine Backup:

You Can't. This is not a feature of Apple Music. What you need to do is export your Music Library, and then add it all back, but, this time, make sure that auto-update is not on in Apple Music. Important: It’s highly recommended that you create a backup of your library; elsewsie, it'd be gone, once you replace the existing one.

1. Go Here: Move your iTunes library to another computer – Apple Support (MY)
2. Scroll to: Back up your library and media files
3. Scroll to: Restore from a backup

Turn Off Auto-Updating in Apple Music

1. Open: Apple Music
2. Click: Music menu
3. Select: Settings
4. Select: General (default tab)
5. Toggle Off: Automatic Downloads and Always check for available downloads
6. Select: Advanced tab
7. Toggle Off: Automatically update artwork for imported songs
