Hi,
Wondering if anyone else can reproduce this? Restored iPhone to "blank" and only signed in to Apple Music and iCloud Music Library (which was empty).
Here are some reproducible steps to “break” an Apple Music playlist
Browse and add a playlist by choosing “make available offline” from the “…” menu.
This now downloads and appears in the “Playlists” view, but none of the songs appear in the “My Music” view.
The playlist seems to work fine and is indeed on the device not the cloud - if I turn on Airplane mode I can still listen to it.
Pick an individual song from the playlist and add it to my music or even choose “make available offline” on the specific song, and it now appears in “my music”. Assume this is by design?
From the “my music” view, find that song and “remove from my music”. The playlist is now broken.
It dissapears from “my music”, but when you visit the playlist many of the songs are no longer available offline. Choosing “make available offline” from the playlist level doesn’t do anything. The options remains “make available offline” rather than “remove downloads”, unlike a normal, unbroken playlist.
You can pick a song at a time to individually download, but that adds them all to “My Music” rather than only within the playlists view.
I’ve even tried removing the playlist, restarting Music app, and re-adding it. It still doesn’t make the tracks available offline. I can find no way to fix this.
Even more odd - some of the tracks can still be played when in airplane mode, but it seems to only be the ones that you played before doing the “add a single track to my music, then remove it" trick (i.e. before “breaking” the playlist).
These broken playlists also have “make available offline” rather than “remove downloads” option available no matter how often you hit the “make available offline” option.
Is this broken for everyone?
