I noticed that there are many new songs added to the “recently added songs list” although I did not add them

Hey,

I am have a really weird issue for a couple of weeks now and I can’t figure it out. I have Apple Music subscription set up and use it on multiple devices for a few years now. Until about 2 weeks ago it worked perfectly, all synced great and my music library was very organized.

Suddenly, I noticed that there are many new songs added to the “recently added songs list” although I did not add them, definitely not recently. It got even more weird when a few days after I deleted them they reappeared (the exact same songs).

can someone please Help me to figure it out?

Thanks in advance

Victor

Ok so I figured it out,

it is the Shazam App that is automatically adding the entire Shazam’s search history and if you delete it. It’ll re-add them.

the fix is to disable the Auto add to Apple Music in the Shazam settings.

Hi VMAZ25,

Thanks for your post! I see that new songs are being added to you library, that you did not add. Are you syncing you music library across your devices? Does anyone else have access to your devices or Apple Music subscription?

Please make sure this setting is enabled:

Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music

Let us know what you find out!

Take care!

Hi VMAZ25,

Thanks for the response. I see you are syncing but the issue is persisting. Have you recently added any playlists from Apple Music? If so, the songs could have been added to your library.

Refer here:

Add a song to a playlist in Apple Music without adding it to your library

Let us know what you find out!

Cheers!

Hey,

Thanks for replying,

Yes, I do sync it through all my devices but no one else has access.

i just looked again and now I can see even more songs that were added to the recently added songs list (About 30-40 songs). Some of them I do recognize as songs I added a really long time ago and others I don’t even remember of adding them. In any case these songs should not appear on the recently added list.

the weirdest thing is that a few days after I deleted these songs they all popped back to the recently added songs.

I did go over other peoples’ issues from the past few days and it seems as other people are having the same problems.

I have never added/downloaded any Apple Music playlist, not recently and not ever before. So this can not explain it.

this seems to be a problem that other people have lately.
