I agreed with all above. really really annoying, was listening to the radio and hearted a song I really like. Subsequently found out that I can't see what I had liked!


If the Radio and favourite Function is to curate contents that listeners will like, but why don't let them to see what they had liked?!


Anyway, wasted half day googling what that song was, fruitless. subscription cancelled.

You can make a smart playlist in iTunes where it adds songs that are "Loved" but this doesn't seem to automatically add songs that I like on my phone, only on my MacBook.


Also in Up Next you can see your play history if you scroll up but I'm not sure if that's your entire play history including radio or only things that you've added to Up Next.

I've also spent hours to figure out where my "liked songs" ends up. Seem's like creating a dynamic playlist in my library (filtered by liked songs) only shows songs that are in my library, not the songs that I have liked in Apple Music...


How do I find these songs?

The reason why I pressed "like" was to easily find the songs later...

It seems that not only you need to mark as "Loved" the songs to appear in a Smart Playlist, but also you need to click for each song on the + sign or the "..." button and "Add to my Music" option in Itunes for each song (or album), otherwise it won't show up in the smart playlist.


It's like you can love a song from Apple Music but if you don't add it to your music it won't show up anywhere in the library 😐

If it is for music you "loved" while listening to radio all you have to do is

Play a station

Click the up next button

Then press the history button

All the songs you listened to will show up sorted by the day and device you listened to them on. You can then go back over the songs and find out which ones have the "love" icon besides them. This isn't a graceful way of doing things but it does allow you to get back to those tracks

This really, really needs to be added as a feature. What is the point of music discovery if I have to grab my phone, load up another app, then type out my favorites on my own, redundant list if I ever want to see them again??


The lack of this feature is absolutely enough to send me back to Spotify. This a core function of music discovery program, and in my opinion an absolute must. What's the point of discovery without recall? It's like a CPU without memory... works only in real time.

I have the latest OS on my mac (10.10.4) and iPhone (8.4.1) and I was able to create a "Smart Playlist" on my mac for "Loved" songs with the "Live Updating" setting checked for the smart playlist. Now I'm able to "Love" a song on my phone and it is automatically added to the smart playlist on both my phone and mac. 🙂 NOTE: I did discover that you have to make sure to select "Add to My Music..." first, and then "Love" the song. If you "Love" the song first and then "Add to My Music..." then it won't work. You'll have to re-Love the song. I'm assuming this is done so Apple can get your music preferences without having to always add the music to your library.
