How do I ensure songs stay in playlists when deleted from the library?

Hi,

If you delete a track from your library, it will delete it from your playlist. If you have an Apple Music subscription, you can remove download and track will still be available in your iCloud music library. As such the track will be available to re-download at a later date as long as you have an active subscription.

Otherwise, the music must be in your library on your computer to add it to a playlist.

Hi,

I suggest that you provide feedback to Apple Feedback - Apple Music - Apple

Hi,

As previously mentioned the music must be in your library on your computer to add it to a playlist unless you have an Apple Music subscription.

Where would you expect the file to located?
