How to hide music video from song list on MacBook Library?

As the saying goes, It's not a fault, it's a feature. It isn't some bug in your current library that you could fix by rebuilding it. The inclusion of music videos in the songs and other views is the currently designed behaviour. You can use Feedback - Apple Music - Apple to let Apple know you'd like it to work differently, but I wouldn't hold your breath. You can create a music video free view to use in the library in about 30 seconds. File > New > Smart Playlist with the rule Media Kind is Music. You can exclude this list from syncing to any of your devices since you don't need it there.

The Songs view in the Music app running on a Mac will include all songs, including music videos, that are part of the library. You can make a smart playlist that excludes music videos if you wish.

Hi new3tion,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with the songs and music videos you have on your devices. We'd like to help.

Just to confirm, are you an Apple Music subscriber or do you manually sync your media between your Mac and your iPhone? If you manually sync, are you choosing both the video and song at that time? Is this issue only with this video or all video and song combinations?

Depending on how you sync your music, these resource can help:

Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music

Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod with your computer

Let us know more about your issue and we'll continue to help.

Take care!

See Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support. Use the option to sync with selected artists, albums genres, and playlists etc. rather than syncing the entire music library. Then sync all playlists except those you wish to leave out.

Ah, in which case you can ignore the playlist that arises on your devices, or add a rule to the playlist that makes it also dependant on some other list that you already have. E.g. Match all rules Media Kind is Music or Playlist is <Some list that only has songs>. List that contain excluded content or depend on other lists should be excluded from syncing through the cloud. See Identify cloud status icons in your music library on your Mac or PC - Apple Support for more.

new3tion,

Got it. We'd like to clarify this a bit more.

You originally stated that when you sync a music video to your device, it shows up under music videos. In the past, has this appeared in Songs and Music Videos on your iOS device? We'd like to make sure we understand before we move forward.

Let us know when you get a chance.

Cheers!

iTunes, and now Music, include music videos as part of an album. The Music Videos section of the library only includes music videos, but the songs or album views etc. will include any video, digital booklet, iTunes LP, etc. This inconsistency between the behaviour on a computer and on a device is not new. Both are working as designed, even if you or I might make slightly different choices.
