How to share your Apple Music playlist

Thanks so much! Your answer was perfect and was able to finally make my playlists shareable!

I followed your instructions to go to listen now and create profile… That fixed the problem. Thank you so much for the help!

This applies to iTunes on the Desktop. I think most here are looking for a remedy on the iOS Music app. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be one. At least, that I have found. Conclusion, this is the only fix post 14.5.1 update. Fin.

That is only solution for few people. Lots of people who already do have profiles they still have problems with missing share options for some or most of their playlists, especially with playlists one imports from Spotify etc

You need to do this plus you need to follow the other solutions

cheers

I have the same problem and none of the listed solutions work, or appear possible for me.

First of all, I am looking to share a particular playlist (that I have had for years, and somehow just up and left my phone). While other playlists have the share option, then particular playlist does not. It's not the only one. Several of my playlists are shareable, and several are not. I suspect this is the problem that many other people are having. And I also suspect that this

Other things. None of my playlists have an edit option that I can find. I DO have a profile.

Feeling very frustrated with apple at the moment. Spend thousands a year on apple devices, music, films, series etc and want to be able to share playlists and get an icloud account so can easily upload music and movies etc that I purchased through iTunes (not Apple Music subscription) and I cannot through my phone or iPad’s. Only way is through my MacBook. Apple has always been the best operating system because it catered to users needs. It is failing to do so to satisfy some level of greed. I.e. have to buy a MacBook or a subscriptions to get any functionalities. If they keep this up users will move to more user friendly operating systems.

Okay Apple… thanks to your idiotic updates that come out all the time and don’t actually do anything unless there is a phone launch…. I am unable to simply share a playlist through your over glorified Apple Music app. I would appreciate a direct reply.

I am contemplating why I even switched back to Apple given YouTube Music was the same amount and had more music. I simply have your product because of FaceTime and iMessage. Figure out your product and fix it.

thank you!

It is so unlike Apple to make something extremely simple - like sharing my playlist between my devices - into a circuitous nightmare! I spent over 45 minutes on AppleCare and had to bother three different technicians!

I thought iCloud was invented…. to simply resolve synchronizing, between all Apple devices!?

What happened to Apple’s elegance! 😖

Wait…. You recreated a duplicate playlist, under a different name, and the duplicate had a ‘share’ option?

Did you use ‘Add to Playlist’ option to recreate the duplicate?… Not certain what the purpose of that action was, anyways!?

"What happened to Apple's elegance?" Indeed it is in serious danger of disappearing.

PLEASE Apple. Couldn't you just give us back the old "Share Playlist" option?

It was simple.

It was easy.

It was elegant.

It brought delight to your customers.

Why do Apple users need a third-party app to do what iOS did in previous versions? 

Was not the reason Apple created iCloud was to share files, including a list of music files, between devices!? I own these songs, after all.

Please explain! Thank you!

I just tried your recommendation, but I think you are assuming I have subscribed to Apple Music?

I have a playlist from tunes I own, I bought on iTunes, yet I cannot share between my devices!?

Please help!

I have 15.1 version of iOS, yet I do not see any Share option, after clicking on my playlist, inside my Music app.

Are you assuming I have signed-up Apple Music, because the playlist I want to share is NOT from signing up for Apple Music.

The playlist I want to comprised of songs I own, songs I bought from iTunes.

….not that it should matter.

and how, exactly, does one do that? I've tried following the recommended steps listed above, and there are no visible options for that.

This stinks. I pay $10 / month, and can't share a play list with another Apple Music user?

Ridiculous.

How do I share my playlist, compiled from music I own, with the all the devices I own?... withOUT paying extra for Apple Music?

BTW.... I own all my music through Apple iTunes, so I should be able to share a playlist with all my Apple devices? RIGHT?

Seems like a straight forward iCloud request!...
