Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have many Apple Music playlists stored on my Mac where I have enjoyed the playlist or a friend has shared their playlist with me.
I would like to put them in a separate folder so they don't clutter up my list. I don't really want them showing on my menu, but don't want to delete them?
Any ideas?

Thanks for replying. However, I don't seem to be able to do what you have suggested. Am I doing something wrong?
See Organize playlists in folders in Music on Mac - Apple Support. Shared Apple Music playlists aren't necessarily treated in the same way as those you make yourself.

Rayver,
You can't drag songs directly into a folder. So, in the folder create a playlist, and drag the songs into the playlist.
Note that the folder can be expanded or closed, so even if it eventually has a bunch of playlists in it, it will only take one line.
Thanks Ed. I thought you meant create the playlist in the folder then drag the 'Apple Music Playlists' into it. That didn't work. So are you saying that I need to recreate each 'Apple Music' playlist in the folder and drag all the songs into the new 'personal' playlist?
If that is the case it seems like a lot of extra work, but can be done. I tried it out and it worked. Only thing is the artwork turns into a mixed media image (which is usually OK) but doesn't bring the one from the original 'Apple Music' playlist (which sometimes I would prefer).
For 'personal' playlists and 'Genius' playlists they can both be moved around into different folders. It seems remarkable that you can't do the same with 'Apple Music' playlists (created by Apple), or other peoples Apple Music Playlists. (shared with me).
Thanks again for responding.
Right click on the sidebar, under playlists, and select 'New Playlists Folder'. Drag the playlists to the folder.
You're welcome. 🙂
