I'm having this exact same issue, over and over. I have 50k songs in my library, so I'm wondering if that' s the issue (since the match limit appears to be 25k until iOS9 comes out and it bumps up to 100k).


In the meantime, I don't think I can get my phone Apple Music to sync with my computer's Apple Music, and the unification is basically the #1 thing I'm looking for here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I hope that's not the only way. Would be a pain to move half my library out just to get this to work. Alternatively, would also suck to have to wait for iOS9 just to get to share Apple Music playlists between my phone and Macbook. Maybe I'll give this a couple more days before doing anything drastic. Or I may just stick with Spotify until this is sorted...

IMO Spotify is the better solution.


When I use Apple Music, I have to upload all songs to the iCloud Library what will need months with my bad internet connection.

Until then I can´t use my music on my iOS devices because I can´t sync my music between iTunes and iOS devices when I use Apple Music / iCloud Library.


I just deactivated Apple Music and iCloud Library on all my Macs and iOS devices...
