Adding to Playlist without playing

Whenever I hear a song and want to add it to a playlist...

I open the app,

search for the song,

click to play it..


only when I’ve done that do the ‘...’ appear so I can ‘add to a playlist’


So.. my question


Is there anyway to add to a playlist without actually playing the song?


yeah 1st world problem, I know.


cheers

Hi there AngryOldBiker,


We understand you'd like to add music to a playlist without playing it, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.


Check it out here: How to make a playlist in the Apple Music app


Specifically, this detail may help:

"You can also touch and hold a song, album, or playlist. Then tap Add to a Playlist to add the music to an existing one, or tap New Playlist."


Cheers!
