Apple Music Songs won't add to library on multiple devices

I have looked for a solution to this problem, and nothing has seemed to work.

I know variations of this problem have been shared, but not my exact problem.

I will preface this by saying my membership is active and up to date and sync library is turned on.


Problem:

I search for an artist on Apple Music, find what I am looking for, select and album and click/tap the "+ ADD" button.

The button disappears for a moment, so I know I have selected it. (When I do this on my Macbook Air, it acts as if it is in the process of adding).

A moment later, the "+ ADD" button re-appears, and the music/album/ song has not successfully been added to my music library. I try again, with the same results.


I have tried this on my Macbook Air, work PC, Phone, internet browser, Apple TV... all with the same result. The "+ ADD" button almost returns immediately.


I have tried shutting down and restarting, logging out, disconnecting from wifi (on phone) and adding via cellular network, etc. all with the same results.


I have tried multiple songs/albums/artists, again... all with the same results.

I know it was working today, because I had added a handful of songs/albums successfully. I know this, because those albums show up in my "Recently Added" tab.


Any suggestions?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2

Hello greg1205,


Are these songs just not appearing in the Recently Added section you mentioned? After tapping Add then waiting until it reappears again, try searching for the song in your library. Does it appear there? Sometimes it might be adding but just not appearing in Recently Added, especially if you've added the songs before to your library.


If they still aren't appearing or you still have issues, the best thing to do is reach out to Apple directly to look into the matter more deeply: Get Support


Take care and stay safe.
