Playlist duplicated thousands of times

Hi Skelybrine,

Thank you for your follow up. Can you see the same number of playlists duplicated on any other devices? Have you signed out of your Apple ID recently? It is hard to say exactly what happened but it would be best to sign out of your Apple ID, delete all music from your device and then sign back in. Your music and playlists will sync again after you sign back in and should show up correctly and not duplicated. Check out the section "How to delete music in Settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in Delete music, movies, and TV shows from your device.

If you are seeing the duplicated playlists on other devices, it might be a good idea to Contact Apple Support and have them take a closer look to make sure there is nothing going on with the account.

Hope that helps!
