3. Tap Music.

4. Turn on Sync Library.

5. Turn on Sync Library on your other devices.

After ensuring your Apple Music subscription is active and the sync library is enabled, recheck the playlist for updates. If not updated, check to see if there is a status message indicating that updates are pending.

Another thing to remember is that some music may not be eligible to match and sync with iCloud Music Library. Examples of tracks that this could apply to would-be tracks not purchased from iTunes that were bought with a different Apple ID or are too large. Try adding other types of songs to this playlist to see if the issue only occurs with certain songs.

Please let us know the outcome after giving the above steps a try.
