It seems that after I’ve downloaded my music files to my phone, when I start playing them from the downloads on my device, they download again as they’re played? I’ve got 8 GB worth of media taking up 24 GB on my phone. It seems it also downloads over mobile data while I’m listening.  
Has anyone else noticed this issue, and have you found a solution or at least a decent workaround?
