Genius Playlist greyed out on mac

Hi I have a 27" imac Retina 5K running iOS Catalina 10.15.6. I am trying to make a Genius Playlist using the Music App on my iMac like I used to do using iTunes. I want to create these and then transfer them onto my iPhone 11 Pro Max.


The option to create a Genius Playlist is greyed out. Why? And how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance!


iMac, OS X 10.11

I found my answer and here it is in case anyone else has the same problem in 2020.


Make sure your focus on the mac is on Apple Music app. In the Music app  on your Mac, choose File > Library > Turn On Genius (or Turn Off Genius).
