How can I automatically download my teen's favorite songs on Apple Music?

Im trying to manage storage and data on my teenagers phone. Most of the data usage is from music and based on a million hours in a car with her I know that there are a few dozen songs she listens to most of the time. If music had those top songs cached it wouldn’t have to stream them and use up data whenever she listened to them. This should be automatic so she doesn’t have to manually download them. I wouldn’t want every song she listens to be cached (that would use up valuable storage) but the top 25 songs or setting a storage amount (say 1 GB) makes sense to me.

She can add her favorite songs to “favorites”, by tapping the star icon next to the track name.

A playlist called “favorite songs” is then automatically created and continuously updated. You can then download the whole playlist with a single tap in the top right corner.

Sorry, the whole point of my suggestion was to make it automatic. Perhaps this isn’t the forum, I was thinking of this as more of a suggestion to apple developers than asking for advice (unless there is a setting I’m unaware of which would be very helpful if there was).

Unfortunately seems as though moderator edited my title to be something that isn’t really what the post is about.
