How to delete a song from my library but not from the playlist?

Hi,

this Knowledge Base Article outlines how to avoid in future to add songs to the library when adding to playlist.

The question asked (and I have the same question) was how to *remove* songs from my music library without also deleting them from all playlists -- which is what happens when one selects "delete from Library". Is there a way?

Thanks!

On the bottom of the linked page there's the said news below. 😟 Having the same issue. I am a "full-album" listener, but I have a real bunch of playlists too and I'd like to separate them like that.

Move songs from My Music to a playlist

If you have songs in My Music that you want to move to a playlist and remove from iCloud Music Library, you first need to delete the song from your library, which will remove it from all playlists. Then, add the song back from the Apple Music catalog and add it just to a playlist.
