Alexa doesn't play my playlist from apple music

So I have my Apple Music linked to Alexa and it does play apple music when I ask. But it only plays default my station or certain songs when I request. I want Alexa to play my favourite playlist, but no matter how hard I try, what words I use, she doesn't get it and plays something else. And when I ask her to just play apple music she just choose herself I don't even know what is it! I thought I would be able to play it straight from the apple music app, like I do with spotify, but no, Alexa plays something else and my phone then plays what I choose. Please help, I must be doing something wrong.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hello AggieMiso,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you want to play playlists through Alexa with Apple Music. We'll do what we can to help.


First, make sure the playlist you want is synced with Sync Library: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music


Then, try the suggestions here for how to ask Alexa to play the playlist: Play Apple Music with Alexa


If you're still having issues, try unlinking Apple Music from the same link and then add it again.
