When double clicking a playlist, it plays any song from my library. Why?

Hello chantal124,

I understand songs aren't playing as expected in iTunes on your Mac. I'd like to help you out with this.

Are you clicking on a specific song in the playlist when this happens, or are you clicking on the playlist itself in the sidebar of iTunes? Is the song it's playing currently in that playlist? Also, is this happening with Smart Playlists, or is it happening with a playlist you manually created?

Try closing out of iTunes and reopening it and see if you experience the same thing. If you do, try out these steps next:

1. Make sure that your Mac is fully updated: How to update the software on your Mac. Keeping your Mac updated will ensure that iTunes is up to date as well.
2. Restart your Mac: How to turn your Mac on or off.
3. Create a brand-new playlist and test the issue there: Create a playlist in iTunes on Mac.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care.

I have the same problem. I have many playlists. When I double click any of them in the left sidebar (it doesn't matter if it is an Apple curated playlist, or one of my own), Apple Music plays some other seemingly randomly selected song (and not one currently in the up-next queue). My music is up to date with iCloud, I have rebooted the computer, and done all of the standard steps. It has been doing this now for I think a few weeks (could be a bit longer).
