Cannot Add Song to some Playlists

Question

Cannot Add Song to some Playlists

I cannot add songs to some of my playlists. On my Mac, when I click add music to playlist, only some of my playlists are shown. I can see all of my playlists in Apple Music and I can play all of those playlists, but when I try to add a song it only presents me with some of the playlists.

I have tried opening the playlist in a separate window and dragging the song to it, but I does not add the song.

I have signed out of Apple Music and signed in again and I have turned off Sync and turned it back on again, but none of this solves the issue.

Another thing you can try is to hold down option+cmd as you launch Music which opens it in its safe mode and can sometimes fix odd issues with the database.

I can play the song and it is in my library and I can play the playlist I want to add it to and that is a normal playlist.

I cannot see anything that makes the playlist I cannot add it to any different from one that I can add it to. There are several playlists I can add it to, but also many playlists I cannot add it to.

This worked although still wondering why it happened, but I was able to create a new playlist, move all the songs to the new playlist and delete the old one and then I was able to add new songs to the new playlist.
