Q: Could making playlists of Apple Music songs in desktop iTunes app be ANY more difficult???

Currently I have to find the song in Apple Music, usually a 2 or 3 step process, then add it to My Music, THEN click back into the My Music page, THEN find it on that page, THEN add it to a playlist.

 

This is a ridiculously convoluted process for what is surely one of the most common user actions?

 

In Spotify this is a two step process - find the song - drag or menu it into a playlist.

 

Seriously, I just don't understand how Apple Music got released in this state... iTunes desktop is already a messy awkward interface and now this turns it into a dogs breakfast. I've been an Apple fan since '84 and my first Mac, even while surviving the awful mess OS 9 was but this is a travesty.  Has the Apple design team not seen or used Spotify???
