Songs won't add to playlists

I keep adding music to my playlists and more than 80% of the time it won't show up. I'll get the message that it's been added, but when I navigate to the playlist, it's not there.


Also, if I go to  Music on another device (iTunes on Mac, iOS on iPad) the syncing doesn't appear to be working correctly either.


Anyone else having these issues?

I have the same problem on my iPhone 5s and iPad Air 2.


My workaround is to kill the Music app and then add a new song to the playlist. Works for me every time, at least for a while for sure.

I didn't have to add the song to my music before adding to a playlist.


What is misleading is that the Music app indicates the song has been added to the playlist, but it didn't,
