Apple Music iCloud Status not working. Smart playlist only showing ineligible songs.

This seems to be a similar issue: iTunes Match Smart Playlists Don't Appear to Work

It seems if I make a smart playlist showing only songs with the iCloud Status of "Duplicate" it shows all the Apple Music songs...

Definite bug concerning the mixing up of iCloud Status tags.

After further investigation..

To make this easy to explain imagine each iCloud Status is given a number.

Matched = 0

Purchased = 1

Uploaded = 2

Apple Music = 3

Ineligible = 4

Local Only = 5

Error = 6

Duplicate = 7

So when you create a smart playlist you're saying include all songs where status=3 for Apple Music.

Now the problem occurs because Apple incorrectly updated these values in the Smart Playlist dialog.

The correct status code for Apple Music is actually 7 as it was added last.

Meaning the actual status code layout is:

Matched = 0

Purchased = 1

Uploaded = 2

Ineligible = 3

Local Only = 4

Error = 5

Duplicate = 6

Apple Music = 7

Meaning status code 3 onwards are messed up.

Ergo:

Matched=Matched

Purchased=Purchased

Uploaded=Uploaded

Ineligible=Local Only

Local Only=Error

Error=Duplicate

Duplicate=Apple Music

So a workaround is to use these. If you want to create a playlist with all songs that are Apple Music then select Duplicate.

Happy to help. =)
