I am unable to add songs to existing playlist post Sonoma update

In the music app, I want to add songs to existing playlists. However by right clicking on a song, I have only the option to add songs to a new playlist. My existing playlists do not show as an option. Apparently this option has disappeared in Sonoma 14.2!? Can you help me please? Many thanks in advance.

I am also having this issue - ie I can't add to existing playlists, only to new ones. You can drag and drop but can't add using the menu option, which is annoying. I found one workaround, which is to export a playlist and then import it - this creates a new version of the playlist, preserving its content, and once you do that you can add as you could before. One annoying thing is you end up with 2 playlists with the same name - if you edit the .xml file after exporting but before importing you can edit the playlist name at that stage so it imports as a clearly-labelled new version
