You can access your purchase history from the iTunes Store on your Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. So you can see what you?ve bought ? no matter which device you bought it on. When you buy from iTunes, iCloud stores your purchase history.

Now you can download music and TV shows you?ve previously purchased to all your devices.

If you must also have the music ON your device as you say to play it, then storing it in the iCloud also is pointless. Why would anyone pay to store music in the iCloud if you cannot stream it? The whole point of the cloud is to store files/music online and be able to access it from anywhere on your devices.
