Apple Music Bug Related to 'Add Playlist Songs' Setting is Now Fixed

[MacRumors]

Last month, many Apple Music subscribers reported that the "Add Playlist Songs" setting was broken on the iPhone, iPad, and sometimes the Mac. After a user toggled off the setting, the bug could cause it to turn back on, resulting in any songs that a user added to a playlist being added to their music library in an unwanted manner.

Fortunately, it appears that Apple quickly addressed the bug with a server-side fix, and users are no longer impacted by this issue. Given it was a server-side fix, users do not need to update their devices to a newer software version for it to apply.

Apple never publicly acknowledged the bug, so the underlying cause is unclear.

There's a bigger problem with Apple Music going on right now. Hundreds of users are now completely unable to access their music library across all devices and all versions of the OS. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255233822?sortBy=best

Okay and when will the iCloud library synch work again?
Not everyone has it but the Apple Music subreddit is full with this

It's so annoying. Apple Music has been basically unusable for 2 weeks for me

Yeah…
It happens on my Mac, Apple TV, iPhone and Apple Watch so I guess it’s a server or account issue.
I believe I have this actually for longer than 2 weeks.

Not a server side issue for me it seems. I have my music locally on my computer and right clicking on a song to add it to a playlist only offers one playlist. My other 20 playlists don't show in this context menu. I can only update playlists by manually dragging songs.

Apple Music is so horrid and unusable someone had to write a script called NoTunes just to keep it from constantly opening. Yea, Spotify doesn't have the high end audio, but it just WORKS and doesn't interfere with my life like Apple Music. Like everything else at Apple, the software and engineering are prioritized AFTER DEI and marketing.

I think you're over dramatically exaggerating. Apple Music has some UI tweaks pending, but Spotify is NOT what we could call an excellent experience, is far from being excellent.

Apple Music is not only about the lossless, it also offers Dolby Atmos, Karaoke and Synced Lyrics, Music Videos, amazing stability over AirPlay and an easy way to create a library. Spotify wanted to become TikTok and their UI is overloaded, and difficult to use.

Regarding software, like it or not, Apple still offers the best software out there, especially when you consider the integration, using Spotify might be drastically different if you own a TV with Tizen, Android/Google TV or LG's WebOS, let alone Windows. At least Apple software is consistent across the different products where available.

Still not working for me. Cannot add music and my music previously added and playlists made are gone (thanks Apple Support for having me turn on and off "Synch", lol), they have no clue. I've had Spotify since one needed an invitation to get an account, and never had any issues, and it has since it's inception had better features than Apple Music. What I miss about Apple Music is the lossless, excellent sound quality, and nicer UI.

Apple Cloud Music library is not working more than a month, more and more users are reporting every day to support, many lost their entire music library, Apple Music becomes useless, but Apple simply doesn’t care.

I'm curious. NoTunes prevents opening Apple Music, right? Why would a user of Apple Music want that? I wonder, are you a user of Apple Music?

I like Apple Music, I really do...
But damn Apple needs to get a grip and improve the back-end!
No need for animated covers and flashy new features, if the core experience is bugged as hell...
