Hey JSJ1020,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I see you're looking to recover a lost playlist, and as someone that uses a lot of playlists myself, I can understand the concern of one going missing. Once deleted, a playlist can be restored either by recreating it, or by restoring from a previous backup of your iTunes library that contains the playlist. If you're not sure how—or if you even have a backup to work with—check out this article: Manage and back up your iTunes media library - Apple Support


Cheers!
