How to find loved songs on Apple Music for iPhone

The heart is not the way to do it. The heart is only for Apple to tailor it's suggestions to your tastes. If you want to keep track of things you like you need to click on the little "3 circle" menu and select "Add to My Music." These tracks will all show up in "My Music" everywhere. In iTunes you can list your music by song and sort by "Date Added" and you'll see the tracks that you've added. There doesn't seem to be a way to view "My Music" by date added in the iPhone app. You need to do it in iTunes as far as I can tell. I much prefer the Spotify "+" system. There's one less step and they are listed in the order in which you added them.

Hi Creml

You can, if you create a new smart playlist in iTunes and select Loved and 'as true' it will create a playlist call "Playlist" just rename it.

As a side note it will only add songs you 'Love' in iTunes not on iOS

Hmmm it shouldn't, I've only ever loved music from Beats 1 or from For You and they all show in the playlist.

Under the iTunes preferences have you got iCloud Music Library enabled?

Got the same issue. As a workaround I try to add every loved song to my library as well. Then I edited a smart playlist in iTunes, because I couldn't create a new one, that collects all loved songs that are in my library. This works most of the time, but the strange thing is that the list should sync to my phone instantly. But it doesnt. It's more like random. I've got 42 songs in the playlist on itunes, and 14 on my phone. Some have recently been loved, some are 2 weeks old. I can't find a reason or a pattern here

I came here looking for an answer to the same as the OP's question.

I can confirm, having configured a smart playlist to show Loved = True, only items i'd clicked "add to my library" would show (just added one to Library now and it now appears in my smart playlist).

So, that's the answer (for now).

1. Create "Loved = true" smart Playlist

2. Click <3 loved when you hear a song you love

3. Add song to Library

Seems silly I know, but this is how it works for me..

This works for me as well, but the problem with synching this list to my iPad and phone still exists. My "loved" playlist know counts 53 songs. The Same list opened on my ipad or iphone shows only 16 tracks.

That specific behaviour doesn't appear to be possible.

I've just confirmed that if i <3 + add a song to my library on my Macbook Pro, then add the same song to My Music on my iPhone 5S, the "Loved" playlist auto updates to contain the newly added song to my iPhone.

In short, the "Loved" smart playlist only shows items that exist in your device.

I do have the same problem.

Spotify, Deezer etc. do have this option, so why can Apple just not have the same thing.

For me it would be best if pushing the <3 symbol would add the track (local on my devices or in the cloud/on apple music) to the list "favourites" AND give apple the chance to get to know my taste of music better.

Can not figure out why this is so difficult.

I state that the selection they make on the basis of your tastes is really well done, but Apple sometimes gets lost in a teacup.

Two things:

1. If people still asking themeselves how to find out the loved songs it means that something is wrong. In other words the app lacks of a needed feature.

2. Would be so difficult having by default a "Loved Songs" playlist that collects all the loved songs? It would be then sufficient sharing it on iCloud to have it synked accross all your devices.

In my opinion that would have been basic!

Spotify is one step forward.

If you create a playlist with the following rules it should work.

Match all

Loved is true.

iCloud status is apple music

give it sometime to sync across your devices, but this playlist will allow you to view loved songs / albums on both iOS and Mac iTunes.
