Hi all!

I am having difficulty getting Siri to add song from the radio, to my playlist in Apple Music?

So, when listening to a radio station via Apple Music and a song comes on I like, when I say, "Hey Siri, add this song to my playlist called my tunes" (I have already created a Playlist called 'My Tunes'), she cannot find the playlist and just responds with, "Hmm, I cannot find a playlist called my tunes".

Even if I just say, "He Siri, add this song to my playlist" or "Library", she then asks, "Which playlist" and when I then reply with "my tunes" she still can't find the playlist?!!

I have even tried renaming the playlist to something more simple like 'radio' but the same sequence of events happen...?!

Is Siri even able to add music you're currently listening to on the radio, to a specific playlist?

Can't understand why its not working for me?!

EDIT:
...hmm, thinking about it, it could be because the radio station is not itemising the songs its actually playing. My iPhone and Apple Watch shows the name of the station as opposed to the names of the songs so perhaps thats why Siri cannot add the particular song I am listening too...!!!

FURTHER EDIT...!

Even though the radio station is now showing the individual song names as it is playing, it seems that Siri cannot actually add songs to a playlist in Apple Music, if the song is playing from a radio station....

I now have an album playing in Apple Music and when I ask Siri to add a song to a specific playlist, this does indeed work - it just doesn't work with music playing from a radio station (well, for me anyway).

:)
