Q: Playlist settings not syncing to iPhone

Hey!

 

I'm kinda getting desperate here, since I've spent the last 6 hours googling and still can't find a way for my mess to work.

I'm using both Apple Music and the iCloud Music Library and I've uploaded a ton of my own music collection to the iCloud.

Now, everything works pretty fine, all my music also appears in the Music app on my iPhone 6 Plus and it's all good, if there weren't my playlists.

Since I moved over from Spotify to Apple Music, I manually rebuilt all of my playlists over hours, because for whatever reason, both 'Move To Apple Music' and 'STAMP' weren't able to match anything on Apple Music.

The thing now is, that if I rearrange songs within any playlist, be it by manually moving them around or by auto-arranging them to be sorted 'by added date' and 'ascending'/'decending', these changes are not being applied onto my iPhone.

Also, while the new sorting being active on iTunes, if I add new songs to a playlist, they're added to the top of it. Although if I look at my iPhone afterwards, these songs have just as usual been put at the very bottom, again ignoring all the sorting I've been doing earlier on iTunes.

 

There's a lot of things I already tried, be it disabling and re-enabling both Apple Music and iCloud Music Library on all my devices or trying 'Copy to Play Order' by right-clicking the playlist after rearranging it, then syncing both my iPhone and my iCloud Music Library.

And yeah, I rebooted my devices a kajillion times.

 

Desperate as I was, I even called the Apple Telephone Support for help, about half an hour before closing time.

But after a lot of not-knowing-what's-going-on and general stupidity, I was 'accidentally' disconnected a minute after the Apple Care hotline closed and not called back.

 

So, dear fellow Apple users: PLEASE HALP.

 

Cheers,

Matt
