Music

I DO NOT want to delete songs from my library on my iPad or iPhone. I want to remove songs from a playlist WITHOUT removing them from my library. When I swipe left on the song I want to remove from the playlist I get the Red Garbage can, which then removes the song from my library.

When I click on the 3 dots to the right of a song in my playlist, select REMOVE, I get 2 choices: 1, Remove Download, 2. Delete From Library. The note above the choices days, “This song has been downloaded to this iPad. Do you want to delete it from your library, or remove the download from this iPad?”

I DO NOT WANT TO DO EITHER. I just want to remove it from my PLAYLIST.

This is something new. I used to swipe left and the song would be removed from the PLAYLIST ONLY. Now it deletes it from my Playlist AND my Library. I went to support and they said I could go to iTunes for Windows and recover the song to my library. I’ve also found I can go to the bottom of iTunes Music, click on my Apple ID, click on View Apple ID, Hidden Purchases and ú hide them which brings them back to my library.

Why is Apple making this so much harder?

Finally. You’ve ended days of frustration. I never thought of that. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your reply. A LOT.
