Can’t delete Favorite Songs Playlist from Apple Music Library

I thought I was the only one annoyed by that feature, so there's no way to remove it?

Agreed. It's a very annoying new "feature" that they pushed on us with no way to remove.

Other than to irritate their subscribers what is the point in arbitrarily adding favorite songs playlist. If I wanted one I would have created one. This playlist was added either Christmas day or early the day after. I can remove the songs from favorite songs playlist but I cant remove the playlist it self. Interesting thing is this favorite playlist do not appear on my laptop apple account. Apple need to fix this.

Sounds typical of Apple. If its not gone by mid Jan. Im going back to Spotify.

The only way around this that I found was to go to your Library, select Playlists, tap the three red lines in top right hand corner, click on "Favorites" instead of "All Playlists." Then, as cumbersome as it is, go into each playlist, tap the three red dots in the top right hand corner, tap "Favorite." Repeat this process for all playlists, which may take some time depending on the number of playlists you have. Make sure the playlist "Favorite Songs" is not favorited, and next time you use Apple CarPlay in your vehicle that annoying "Favorite Songs" playlist will be absent from your choices of playlists to play.

I don't get it Apple. What is so freaking hard not to constantly add features everywhere that nobody has asked for?

Everyone who wanted a favorites playlist could have created one on macOS using a Smart Playlist: right click playlist area, New Smart Playlist, select "Favorite" "is" "Favorited", hit OK. Takes 15 seconds. There was no need to add that as a non-removable playlist.

But there are no Smart Playlists on iOS? Exactly! As that's a features thousands of people have asked you for already and that for over a decade but when people ask for a useful feature, of course you don't add it! As that would allow people to decide for themselves, who could ever that, right?

I would be more ok with it if we could customize the playlist a bit more like change the name or at the very least the cover for it

This is indeed very, very, very annoying. If I wanted the Spotify experience, I would've gotten Spotify.

yeah..whats up with that... it made me almost go apesh** its so annoying since in my car "recently added" shows up on top on my screen and i can quickly pick my album. Now this "Favorite songs" that contained songs i have not added is there :(

Agree wholeheartedly. I was using Spotify before this, and I decided I wanted to get rid of ads, but instead of buying Spotify premium, I bought Apple Music. Part of the reason for this, was because I dislike how these music platforms force you to use favorites playlist. Apple Music is even worse than Spotify. On Spotify, if you have no music in the playlist, it'll go away, but on apple music if you have no music in it, it stays. I really hope Apple gives us an option turn this feature off, or better yet just removing it if you have no favorites.

This has been annoying me for a while...I elected to just make new playlists and copy all of my songs over. This didn't get rid of the favorites playlists, but it pushed it to the bottom of the list (it sorts by date created) so at least I don't have to look at some ugly white and red star picture every time I open the app.

Adding my voice to this. Apple--please make this "favorites" music playlist on my iphone OPTIONAL. I want it gone, do an update, and make it so we can delete it.

I feel as though the playlist is extremely unnecessary because if a user wants a 'favorites' playlist they can create it themselves. I have an aesthetic going on with all of my albums and it is very irritating whenever the font doesn't match (i used a fonts app btw) and the cover is not my taste.

Off Topic Suggestion: I think apple should consider making an optional folder for albums if the user feels necessary. I would like a folder for all of my different summer playlists. Thank you for reading this!!

Indeed. I *did* create my own favorites playlist, years ago, which I named—wait for it—“Favorites.” Suddenly now if I want to play the playlist I’ve built up over years, I have to take my iPhone out of my pocket and select it manually, because no matter how carefully I phrase it, if I use the word “favorites” at all, Siri will play Apple’s new “Favorite Songs” playlist. And, yes, no option to remove it. Thanks for nothing, Apple.

The music I play most often is typically albums or playlist I recently added to my library. If I want to go back to an older playlist, I open the playlists tab. Now because Apple decided I NEED this, I’m stuck with an ugly red star in my recently added which I DID NOT recently add. To me it’ll like the U2 album all over again, except I can’t remove it. A favourites playlist is not a “feature” if I wanted it I would make it myself. If Apple wanted to make it easier to add music to that kind of playlist for people who do want it, fine, let me delete it. Adding playlists to my library is hugely invasive.
