Apple Music Not Adding to Playlist? (This Is The Fix)

Apple Music Not Adding to Playlist: In other words, turn off the “Add Playlist Songs” feature if Apple Music isn’t adding songs to a playlist. This ought to resolve the problem. When you include a song in a playlist, it won’t be added to your library.

The “Added to Playlist” popup will appear on the screen when you add a song to a playlist. However, the song you recently added is not present when you open the playlist.

You should try these workarounds:

Prior to adding the song to Apple playlist, add it to the library

 

According to a popular Apple Music theory, adding a song to the library comes before adding it to a playlist. You could start by including a song in your library.

When I long-pressed a song on Apple Music, there was a time when I couldn’t see the “Add to a Playlist” button. There was only the “Add to Library” option.

I can add the song to a playlist after I’ve added it to the library.

Apple Music playlists, however, do not include all of the songs in your library. They provide easy access to music that you want to hear but don’t want to store in your library.

In fact, I’ve added a few songs from my library to my playlists. On the other hand, my playlists contain hundreds of songs that are not in my library.

The difference between adding a song to a playlist and adding it to your library is significant. If you share my viewpoint, then the following troubleshooting advice is for you.

Turn off  Apple “Add Playlist Songs” in the settings.

The “Added to Playlist” popup will appear on the screen when you add a song to a playlist. However, the song you recently added is not present when you open the playlist.

Although it isn’t on the playlist, the song is in your Apple Music library.

On Apple Music, it’s a well-known problem that users must add songs to playlists twice (the song won’t show up on the playlist unless it is added a second time).

Basically, you have to confirm that a song is present before adding it to a playlist. If the song is missing, add it again, return to the playlist, and remove the duplicate.

It sounds like you?

The “Add Playlist Songs” setting on iPhone and iPad should be turned off as a fix. The option is titled “Add songs to Library when adding to playlists” on a MacBook.

The “Add Playlist Songs” function on an iPhone or iPad can be turned off as follows:

• Launch the Settings app.
• Tap Music as you scroll down.
• To turn off the feature, tap Add Playlist Songs.

The “Add Playlist Songs” feature on Mac can be turned off as follows:

• Activate the Music app.
• From the top menu bar, select Music.
• Choosing the Advanced tab.

When adding songs to playlists, deselect the checkbox next to Add Songs to Library.

Select OK.

Go to iTunes Preferences > General and uncheck the box next to Add songs to Library when adding to playlists if you’re using iTunes on macOS Mojave or earlier.

Songs won’t be added to your library when you add them to a playlist if this setting is turned off. As a result, each time you add a song to a playlist, there won’t be a duplicate entry.

Playlists and your library are two distinct things. Songs you add to a playlist from the Apple Music catalog won’t be automatically added to your library if this setting is disabled.

For instance, if you make a playlist for “holiday music,” you can add songs to it, but the songs won’t play when your library is played in shuffle mode.

Hope this was helpful. It requires some additional work on your part, but it works if organizing your playlists on Apple Music is more important to you than organizing your music collection.

Using a Mac, find the song on the playlist.

You can use the Apple Music app on your MacBook to find a specific song on a playlist if you use Apple Music on multiple devices (such as both your iPhone and Mac, for example).

To begin, check that Sync Library is turned on for all of your devices.

On your Mac, launch the Music app, then select Songs from the sidebar. Click the song with the Control key, then select Show in Playlist. You ought to check the playlists to which a song has been added.

Unfortunately, using the Apple Music app on a MacBook is the only way to see which playlists a song is in because you can’t do that on an iPhone or an iPad.

You’ll be able to tell the song has been added to the playlist once you find it. Give the app some time to sync, and be sure to add the song to your iPhone’s playlist as well.

Reinstall Apple Music and reset your device

The “Added to Playlist” popup ought to appear on the screen when you add a song to a playlist. However, occasionally the message will not appear after adding a song to a playlist.

Restart your device and reinstall Apple Music if this happens.

Remember that reinstalling the Apple Music app will delete all of the downloaded songs from your device and clear the cached files, which is why it can resolve some issues.

How to reinstall Apple Music is as follows:

1. On your iPhone, long-tap the Apple Music icon.
2. From the list of choices, select Remove App.
3. To uninstall the app, click Delete App.
4. Download Apple Music from the App Store by opening it.

Restart your device after reinstalling the app, then check to see if you can add songs to a playlist or not. This straightforward troubleshooting technique frequently works.

This occasionally occurs to me. Just restart the app and try the process once more. Additionally, confirm that your Apple Music profile has been created. That might occasionally also be the problem.
