Download Compilations to my Mac Music Library

Hi - I find myself downloading several man-made (Apple) compilations. Their Essential series, for instance. When downloaded into my Library, all of the individual tracks show up in my Library. It's no longer a single compilation. If I'm making sense, how do I maintain the album, including playlist order?


Thanks.

Under Music > Preferences > Advanced there is a option that reads Add songs to Library when adding to playlists. If this is unchecked you may be able to add playlists from Apple Music in a way that adds the list to the library without adding the individual songs to your Songs collection. You would then only play the list using the playlist entr, which should maintain the playlist order.
