How to recover accidentally deleted Playlists on Apple Music for Mac?

Thanks to your hint that the playlists are also stored locally, so you can restore them via backup, I was able to get my playlist back. THANK YOU!!!

Unfortunately, the process didn't quite work as your linked post says.

With cloud sync disabled and internet disconnected, the playlist did fully reappear via the library from the backup at first.

But once I reconnected to the internet and re-enabled cloud sync, only the tracks from the playlist that I had already downloaded at some point before were restored. All other titles were simply removed from the playlist.

I went through all of this numerous times in different orders, but the playlist was either not fully loaded, or completely removed. 

Here's the process that worked for me:

• Open music and disable cloud sync of the library in the settings. 
• close music
• add the library restored from the backup to Users/[User]/Music/Music
• re-open Apple Music and hold option-key while doing so
• select the restored library file
• your missing playlists should now show up in Apple Music again (because of the missing internet connection all tracks are greyed out that are not stored locally)
• select the relevant playlist and go to Library/Export Playlist
• save the playlist as txt file (eventually redo that step for multiple playlists)
• (at this point, you could also revert back to the library you had before using the library from the backup, if needed, by reopening Apple Music via option-click)
• reconnect to the internet and activate cloud sync in settings
• now import the previously saved txt-files of the playlists via Library/Import Playlist 

This is what worked for me. 

Thanks again and all the best!

Edit: God damnit … I accidently selectet the wrong answer for best answer and don't know how to undo it. So sorry. ;(

Thanks for that!
