iCloud Music Library Issue

[dvir971]

Hey,
I recently joined Apple Music, and me and my brother are using the same account on both our computers.
When I want to create a playlist it tells me I must enable the iCloud Music Library option, which is cool, but then on all our devices (iPhones, iPads, etc), the entire music library we have in PCs (included all the unorganized unofficial stuff we have scattered on our computers), which makes surfing the library insufferable to do on iPhone for example.
Is there any way to create playlists on Apple Music (even without really adding songs to the actual library), or maybe to enable the automatic sync of all the stuff in our computers to the iPhone? The PC iTunes app has the option to hide all these unwanted songs, maybe the iPhone has it too?

One account = one person / One account for 2 people = GIGANTIC mess

That's not really the issue, even if it was only me logged into this account, I still have a lot of unorganized and useless music scattered around in my iTunes PC library, I chose only the good stuff to sync to the iPhone I don't want allthe other stuff to appear in there too.. There must be a way around it

Apple Music will sync everything in your library into the cloud. The only way I could think of is to create another library in iTunes, and only enable the iCloud Music Library on that one.

Both people in this case are the same user in the eyes of iCloud.

If you sync your entire iCloud Library, then everything in iTunes will show up in your iPhone. Here is what is possible:
1) You disable iCloud Music Library and sync instead your iPhone from iTunes. You choose only the playlists, albums, genres or songs you want.

2) Have 2 (or more) iTunes libraries with separate music and only enable iCloud on the one you want. If you enable in multiple, then you'll lose music, so be careful.

3) You check your music and modify the metadata (e.g. song name, album, artwork, genre, etc.) to make it easier to find in your iPhone. I chose this option. My library has over 7,000 songs and I can easily search for all of them. It makes it easier for Siri too

There aren't a lot of options, honestly. I mean the only other thing you could do is use another player for songs you don't want in iTunes.
