Apple Music playlist description vanishes

Every time I modify one of my Apple Music playlists (adding a song, removing or just rearranging songs), my playlist description just vanishes, with no way to recover it.

Is it a bug? Has anybody else encounter it? Is there a way to avoid this from happening?

Hello Craciunu and welcome to Apple Support Communities.


I see you are having an issue with the descriptions you've added to playlists disappearing whenever the playlist is edited and that this is happening in the Music app on a Mac.


Do you also use Music on an iOS device? If so and you add the description from there and then edit the playlist on the Mac, does the description still disappear?


If it does, this is an issue you'll want to work on directly with Apple Support.

It works on reverse > If I enter the playlist description on iOS iPhone, it is displayed correctly on the Mac app. And does not disappear when I edit the playlist (even when edited on MacOS).

>> The problem is with the Mac app. If I fill in the description on my Mac, it is displayed only on my Mac, and disappears whenever I make any adjustments to the playlist.

I repeatedly brought the issue to Apple-Support's attention. Maybe if more people try and check their Mac app and encounter this problem, Apple will do something about it :) Or maybe is just my app the naughty exception...
