itunes stops playing music when I add a song to a playlist

Hi, someone knows why iTunes stops the music when I add a song to a playlist?


steps to reproduce:


- listen music

- add the awesome song to a playlist trough the context menu "three dots"

- suddenly stops the music and the player loses the context of the previous playlist that you are listening


the problem happens randomly, sometimes works, other times stops player

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12)

I can confirm that as of October 12, 2017, this is still happening. Adding a currently playing Apple Music track to a playlist stops playback cold, makes the album artwork disappear from the screen, and causes great amounts of frustration.
