I was unable to add see my newly added songs (not purchased through iTunes store) in the Library Song List, but was able to see them in the "Newly Added" smart playlist. Does anyone has this problem?
OS: 10.6.8
iTunes: 11.0
MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy), Mac OS X (10.6.8), with iPhone 5
well well ... over night the songs appeared in my library.
happy about this, I tried adding more songs and ... they instantly appeared in my library :-)
I don't know what to make of this. fingers crossed it stays that way ...
My songs appeared out of nowhere in my library also. Very strange. Hope there are no problmes in the future.
Same problem here. Tried all the suggested solutions. Nothing works!
Clearly a serious s/w problem.
Being a DJ , iTunes Match seemed quite a service. BIG disappointment nr.1. (Itunes match removed all essential personal tags).
I'm currently preparing a set for tonite and BIG Disaapoint NR 2. I can not add newly purchased music.
It's killing my workflow!
I'm quite aware that the s/w is free. I'm more than happy to pay. But it seems that Apple is slipping on s/w.
The user experience is not improving to say the least.
Update: After 30 min. the music appeared.
So the problem is not as big as I experienced, but stil it's not adding to the faster smoother user experience I was hoping for.
I know people are saying that they waited about 30 min and it appeared, but I figured out that if you log out of your itunes account and log back in they will immediately appear there!
Annoyed with this bug as everyone else is!!!
Signing out didn't work for me. I had to wait.
After that I added more music and that appeared immediately.
So the problem is not (even) consistent.
I also have the same problem. Can find the songs through "Newly Added" smart playlist, and I have even made a album playlist of the songs, but still can't see them on the big songs list.
Other threads have suggested File > Add Folder, and find the folder containing the song files, which should show the songs right away on your library.
But I have added my songs to the library, and I don't want to navigate to iTunes folder just to re-add the songs (which, since I enabled "copy files to iTunes Media folder", would make iTunes copy the files onto the same folder, possibly creating a duplicate)
In short, I'll just wait for the iCloud to finish its business on my iTunes and let it show the songs. This is not a small bug.
To add songs to the playlist, you can drag the songs to the right where the playlist will pop-up when you drag a song.
Alternatively, you can show the sidebar with the playlist like in the past by go to the menubar > View > Show Sidebar.

Yes, it seems that the iCloud is doing something (the cloud icon is progressing) and the library will only be updated after iCloud has finished its business. I am not sure though, whether this will work for users who are offline.
I don't consider this a small bug, as we expect the library to be updated instantly. Furthermore, if iTunes need iCloud to finish its business, then this is a very big bug for those users who are not able to be online.

I just log off and signed again to my Itunes account, and the songs I purchased yesterday suddently showed up! It was not a matter of Time, it's a BIG BUG I think! Because it's annoying and it's related with something YOU PAID!
i have a similiar problem.
i recently updated to itunes 11 on my windows 7 laptop and now when i add new songs it doesn't show up on the "new added songs" playlist.
it shows up on my itunes but not on my recently added songs(it shows up on my computer but not iphone)
i have an iphone 5 running the latest firmware.
Love4rock I have the same issue as you. When I purchase a song on my iPhone5 running the latest software or my iPad, the purchased songs no longer automatically get added to the recently added playlist on my device. Any help or advice anyone?
Same issue here, macbook pro (10.8.2). Can see in the recently added list but not in the library lists like songs, albums etc.
Same problem here. It is a huge bug. Apple: there is a concept known as testing your product and fixing bugs before releasing it. I can't see how this went unnoticed. Additionally, I predict the delay has something to do with iCloud processing the newly added files. I was never aware that I granted permission to let iCloud process my library. This a features no one asked for, it is unclear what is happening to the user and it breaks the core functionality of the application (that is, it makes it very difficult to play newly added music). FIX THIS.
I'm using iTunes 11 on Mountain Lion. Signing out of the iTunes music store fixed my problem immediately. The tracks which were added but not available to play instantly appeared in the "recently added" column as expected.
I hope this helps someone.
iTunes 11 doesn’t show my newly added songs in the Library
