When I go to music.apple.com, none of my playlists show up that are on my iPhone

When I go to music.apple.com, none of my playlists show up that are on my iPhone. If I right-click on a song and "add it to playlist" from the website, it creates a new playlist, but with only one song. No matter how many times I "add it to a playlist", I end up with a new playlist and one song. I can't name the playlist or see them on the web.


I have "Sync Library" enabled on my iPhone and iPad. The website has very few options for me. I am not even able to search for the playlist by name. I am logged into the same Apple ID on all my devices. What am I missing? I have tried Edge and Chrome and both have the same results.

Hi jlefflerster,


Looking at the Sync Library article, Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices - Apple Support, it mentions that playlists will sync to other devices with the Apple Music app.

If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can access your music library, including your playlists, on any device that has the Apple Music app and signed in with the same Apple ID that you use with your Apple Music subscription.


Apple Music on the web is a different subscription. You can access your music library, however it doesn't mention playlists in the above article.

Access your music library on other devices
After you turn on Sync Library on your Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPad, you can access your music library on any device that has the Apple Music app. Just make sure that your device is signed in with the same Apple ID that you use with your Apple Music subscription. You can also access your music library on music.apple.com.

If you want your playlists on another device, you can use iTunes or the Apple Music app, as long as you sign in with the same Apple ID. iTunes would be for use on a PC or older Mac, which doesn't have the Apple Music app.

How to turn on Sync Library on your PC
In iTunes for Windows, Sync Library is called iCloud Music Library. Learn how to turn on iCloud Music Library in iTunes for Windows.


Cheers.
