Music: songs reappear after deletion

Question

Music: songs reappear after deletion

Ls,

I have a subscription on Apple Music.

On all my devices (macbook pro 2017, iPhone 8, ipad 2019) I have the latests versions of the software installed.

The following problem occurs:

After deleting music from one of the devices, the deleted song is synchronized with my other devices BUT the music reappears again.

This happens directly after adding a new song to my library, from Shazam or from Apple Music itself.

I can delete again, but the songs keep reappearing... and so on...

I resetted my cache already, no positive result.

I deleted the songs from an other device, no positive result.

I did the above, signed out, logged in again, no positive result.

It drives me mad...

Is there a solution to prevent deleted songs from reappearing?

Hi Alex_h1,

your suggestion did the trick!

Deleting the 'To Be Deleted Songs', then turning off the Sync Library on ALL my devices and then turning the Sync Library back on resulted in a stable Music App.

Thanks for your good suggestion.

Stay well
