Q: playlists reduce in size once apple music and icloud music library is turned on

So this has been bugging me for a few weeks. I noticed my playlists on my phone were not the same as i have on my computer. So i removed all music from phone and started again (done this a few times now).

 

I manually added music to my phone from itunes so that i had offline music on my phone all ready and set up. I then turn on 'icloud music library' and it asks if i want to 'merge' the music and i say Yes. However, once i do this all my playlists go from 2000 or 800 songs etc to about 200 or 500 in size. Cant see why this would happen at all but it is immensely annoying!!

 

I have tried toggling the 'show only offline music' switch a few times and it makes no difference. Aside from not having Apple Music on my phone I cant see a way to get my playlists accurately onto my phone.

 

The other thing is that it still says that my music is taking up 34gb on my phone, so the songs are still there by the looks of it, but not in the playlists...
