Boy, I would really like to know the answer to this, too! I've been playing with it for a couple of days and now I don't know where I've been and I have no idea where to go. All I know for sure is that "what I got is not what I want".
At this point I would much rather hook up to iTunes. So today I was going to try and unsubscribe from the iCloud stuff and go back to the old way. It worked for me.
But - I will wait and see the responses to your question.
