Q: iOS10 music app cannot access playlists in playlist folders
I am trying to work around the missing 5-star track ratings in iOS10 by using playlists temporarily. The idea being that I add a track to a playlist titled "To Rate 4" for instance and later at home I can rate all those tracks 4-stars in iTunes. It's a bit of a hack but should work.
I come across a bug (a design feature?) in the music app though. I put is a bug ticket at www.apple.com\feedback regarding this. I suggest you do as well. Below is my comment:
In iOS10 Music app, when in playlists the app is able to access a playlist that is nested within a playlist folder. However, when playing music, if you select the ... to then select Add to a Playlist, the playlist selection will not include any playlists that are in playlist folders. Only those (non smart) playlists in the route folder are selectable.
This is clearly a bug. There needs to be the ability to select nested playlists.
Also, in addition to this, there should be the ability to create a playlist folder and to move playlists to folders (or out of them) when in the edit playlist screen.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10
