Apple Music macOS Apple Music Playlist bug? Can't add or remove songs

Is this a bug or just just really poor UX/UI design? Or user error? I can't seem to be able to edit the playlists on Apple Music for macOS? Editing only lets me edit the playlist cover.

You edit a non-smart playlist by merely deleting songs from it; dragging songs to it (drag a song to the name of the playlist in the sidebar and drop it), or you can go to the songs list, click the three dot icon next to the song, and click "add to playlist"; manually dragging to change the play order (or sorting by one of the columns); etc.

If it is a smart playlist, the edit allows you to change the rules on how media is selected for the playlist.

I suppose the UI on iOS is more intuitive then. Why isn't there a "add song" or similar call to action on the playlist view. I swear it wasn't always like this to just know you have to go to "library" or browse view and drag songs to a playlist.

Not sure - what I described is the way I've always done it, going back about 20 years now when I first started using iTunes.

I’ll have to double check this because the iOS does it makes a lot more sense to me. Tap edit, see edit options including plus sign to add to the playlist. I feel like that says edit mode. You can be in “view library” mode for a long list of reasons.
