Apple Music Users Experiencing Bug With 'Add Playlist Songs' Setting

The Music app on iOS and Mac is just buggy: this is yet another feature which doesn't properly work.

Use Spotify. The don’t have to release a new OS version to patch. They had this feature many years ago. Really, I don’t see the value of Apple Music vs Spotify.

As a musician myself, the value is lossless audio, cloud library (so I can have songs that aren't available to stream in my library) and the fact that Apple pays artists 3x what Spotify does. If Spotify offered the ability to upload, say, my own recordings, to the cloud, and started paying artists, I would be willing to pay them my money.

An Apple Music bug?? Why, I've never heard of such a thing!

*hammers 'play' button repeatedly when music refuses to start playing*

iOS is becoming so buggy, they should name releases after insects. After all, there would be plentiful number of names for the millions and millions of updates required.

Similar stuff has been going on all across iOS and iPad OS for years. Try toggling off iCloud storage for an app and then check again in a few hours, days, weeks or months. 50/50 it’s magically enabled itself again without any user input. Or disabling private IP on an older Apple Watch. Worse, try letting your Apple Music subscription lapse…and pray that your purchased iTunes music doesn’t get nuked.

This is just new Apple. It’s entirely normal now. There’s so many bugs and bad design choices that never get fixed, they may as well just be chalked up as features.

EDIT: Just checked, and yes, this bug is also present on both my iPhone and iPad running 16.7.2. No surprise.

I quit spotify back then when they decided to include podcasts from people I really disliked, and made the push for exclusive podcast content with paying subscribers. I don't want to support this kind of industry based on provocation and extraction of every single cent they can squeeze out of my pockets.
I also had commercial issues where they charged more than what they should, linked my account to facebook when I didn't use that account anymore, very shady stuff like that.
I've also waited until they decided to get HD/spatial music, but that never came (maybe it's there now, dunno)

That being said, as a music streaming service at least it worked. Suggestions are spot on most of the time, adding songs to a playlist is instant, no sync errors.
Using Apple music is a chore, and most of the features are tailored for Californian listeners and their tastes. Anybody else can just deal with it or go f* themselves as someone said.
Why is it taking a full minute to add a single song I'm currently listening to to my playlist ? It's not that hard ! Just add a line to the playlist and voila! No connection? Well just sync that later, shouldn't be a problem... well no you just can't. And half the time it adds the song to the library, but not the playlist. I can reload all I want, it's not there. Then I add it again and now there's two copies of the same song, like if it was there from the beginning.

Apple music, but I would say iOS and Apple software in general these days, is trolling me constantly. You can say whatever you want, at least if that happened back in the day, heads would have gone flying with Steve. In the meatime, Tim is just a money counting machine (and it works who would blame him, but we are the losers here).

Rant over.
