apple-musicsmart-playlist
I tried to create a smart playlist with "Loved" criteria = true, but this smart playlist will only include the loved songs from my library.
Is there a way to include also the loved songs from Apple Music that are not in my library?
Is there any other way to collect all the loved songs from all my devices into one playlist/album/whatever?
I don't know why Apple makes this so complicated?!
It turns out that the screenshot, or at least the correct version, is sufficient:
No doubt in part to my tens of thousands of songs, and only a few hundreds currently classified, the playlist took sometime to populate. After reading Kyle's comment, I looked at the playlist and nearly my whole library is now present.
So the answer to this problem can only logically be:
Patience
"Playlists that reference other Playlists can not be uploaded"
It took me awhile to figure out the solution to this problem, but I eventually did. You can no longer just drag and drop songs from Apple Playlists to new ones that you create yourself, but you are still able to do it a different way. You also used to be able to just right-click on a song, a menu would pop up, and you could then "add to selected playlist" - this no longer works either.
Solution: if you go into any one of your Apple Music playlists, hover over any one of the songs, you will notice a little icon with 3 dots show up - if you LEFT-click on this, a menu will pop up (different than the old menu), and then add the song to your desired new self-made playlist. This seems to work.
The problem is that iTunes still has both the old method and the new method active, but only the new method actually works.
Best Answer
There is no way to achieve the Loved smart playlist without adding the song first to your library from my testing.
I have just given a song Love on Apple Music and it did not appear in my smart playlist until I added it to my library. Even if it was added to a playlist but not actually to My Music it would not appear.
