Under Music in the Settings app, there are two Library select option to “Add Playlist Songs” or “Add Favorite Songs”. I turned off both these features, but when I open my Apple Music Library, I still see the Favorite Songs playlist, I even made sure to de-favorite every song under there also, but it still wont delete from my Library
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17
It looks like if you go to Settings->Music and turn off “Sync Library” it gets rid of this playlist. Worked for me. Also brought back a song I had purchased that wouldn’t show up or let me re-download.
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.
For those of you who are still looking for a solution I had to favorite all of my actual playlist and unfavorite my “favorites” playlist. Then I used the filter feature to show only the playlists marked as my favorite playlists and that is how I finally got it to disappear. as long as you keep the filter on, you won’t see it anymore. hope this helps.
Guys I have a wired "solution": favorite your playlists excepted for "Favorite Songs", then on the up right corner, choose to display only "Favorites", then only the favorited playlists will be displayed.
Hi guys, the solution I've been using:
It has been quite a while since Apple has intruduced yet another feature that we are obligated to use.
The fact that Apple prides itself on giving users a polished experience makes it even more frustrating when they impose something unnecessary and non-removable, like this playlist.

Then you just have an empty playlist. It doesn't actually remove it. Highly annoying.
What I did was in ‘playlists’, hold down on my actual playlists and click ‘Favourite Playlist’. Then go to the top right on the little lines, and click ‘favourites’ instead of ‘all playlists’ This should hide the apple music ‘favourite songs’ playlist.
I have found that sometimes apple literally automatically favourites the ‘favourite songs’ playlist which is very annoying with this strategy but i can just hold down and unfavourite it, it doesn’t happy very often, it’s pretty weird.
Agreed. It's a very annoying new "feature" that they pushed on us with no way to remove.
I get around it by putting A, B, C, D and E in front of my list names and sort them by title. Repeat as many times as necessary. That blasted Favorites “list” is all the way at the bottom
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.
I found that the easiest and only way to “get rid of it” is to favourite every playlist except the favourite playlist then if you filter your playlist to only show the favourite ones then it’ll disappear. Hope this helps
This works. You can then click “”Turn off filter” and it’s gone.
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 :(
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.
Can’t delete Favorite Songs Playlist from Apple Music Library
