Hi! This is a very frustrating solution but i have found a fix. If Your On Iphone All You Have To do Is go:


SOLUTION:


(On Iphone But Read to The End for computer) Go To Playlists -> Tap The Playlist You Wanna Add A Song To -> Press Edit At The Top Right -> Press Add Music -> Search The Song You Wanna Play And Select It -> Then Press Add. The Song Shows Up One The Playlist (Finally lol) If Your On Mac Or Computer, Still Do The Same Process On Your Phone, and it should automatically Connect And You Should Have The Music On Both Devices. I Hope This Helped Ya’ll! :D

I have the same problem. I can most of the times add songs to my playlist when searching from the "For you"-tab, but when searching for a tune from eg "New" or "Radio" (directly translated from Swedish) and trying to add it to a playlist NEVER works. This is when doing this operation from an iPhone or an iPad. When adding songs via the Music-app on my MacBook, everything works just fine.

This must be a bug, right? Is Apple aware of this issue? Because it really is a dealbreaker. Extremely annoying.

ssame issue. i am really trying to like Apple Music. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours listening to music and all the while adding to a playlist. Getting that little check mark animation that is telling me my song was added. Then today I look at my playlist and one song out of all I added is there. Clearly this software does not work and I can't believe this is a paid service???!!! The free ones work better. Horrible. What a waste of my time.

Hi,

Select 'FILE' Option, then select "NEW". You get an option "PLAY LIST". Select this and you have a new Playlist now added to your existing play list group, and can give any name of your choice.

The track which is added to the library(by using "Add File to Library" under "FILE" menu), may be now drag and dropped to the new Playlist created.

Hope this will resolve the issue.

Regards,
