Does anyone know how to get a list of the songs that were on the My New Music Mix from previous weeks? There was a song on my mix that I really liked, but kept forgetting to save it to my library and I don't remember the name of song or the artist. I've already looked at some history information, but it's not showing up. I know what the album art looks like, which is what i'm looking for in the history.

That works if it's in the list from "this week", but it was on a older list before this Friday then it's not listed. Does that make sense? They refresh the list on Fridays.
Unfortunately that is the only history Apple has. You could create a Smart Playlist using Last Played to keep a list for future reference.

What I do is if I hear a song I love in the playlists I just go and save the album or just add the song to my Favorite Songs Ever playlist.

I have a Playlist called "Discovery". Any time I hear a song I'm unfamiliar with that I take a liking to, I quickly add it to that Playlist.

I try to do those things as well, but for whatever reason I didn't do that this time. I was just hoping there was a way to see what was on my previous "discovery" playlist from Apple Music.

That is why using a Smart Playlist solves it.;)

Does the Smart Playlist on iTunes sync with the items that I play on my iPhone? While i was looking around for this song over the weekend I did some exploring between the two devices. It didn't seem like my phone knew what i was playing on my computer and my computer didn't know what I was playing on my iPhone, but I could be wrong about that.

I ask because I don't normally listen to music on my computer, but I do if I want to play music to two sets of computer using my AppleTvs, which is only available through iTunes. I think that is kind of a shame and would be a great feature for iOS 11.
