Music App Playlist Questions

HI I decided to start using the Apple music app rather than Spotify but so far ive been hit with nothing but high prices and problems.
I want to stream music purchased from the store not download it which works fine but random songs download and cannot be deleted even through settings. I only got rid of them by re logging into apple which in the progress removed all the stored data to my playlists...
AM I right in saying that Apple only offers device synced playlists with iTunes Match even if you purchase ALL your music from the store?
Perhaps im doing something wrong but how do I get this app to work with playlists that aren't stored locally?
SOrry if that didnt make much sense hard to explain!
thanks.

I have this exact same issue but it doesn't happen all the time!

  • Music App playlists are wonky after 7.0.6. update

    After updating my iPhone to 7.0.6 I'm encountering two issues w/ Music app playlists.
    1st: If I manually select (touch to play) a song the app plays the one two down from it. Example: if I have Song 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in a playlist and touch song 3 song 5 plays.
    2nd: When organizing a brand new playlist the song I drag from the bottom of the list sometimes either disappears or duplicates itself elsewhere in the playlist, i.e., I end up without the song or it shows in two places w/i the list.
    Question is, is this a known bug or is something corrupted in either my Music app or copy of 7.0.6.? I'm out of town right now so I have no way of doing a backup and restore, but curious to know what the problem might be.
    FWIW I've already tried shutting down and restarting the iPhone and also quitting the Music app are restarting it.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Music App: Playlist name doesn't display under folder

    I believe I have found a small but annoying bug in Music App.  I have my playlists organized into folders in itunes.  After sync'ing playlists in those folders to my iphone 6 (ios 8.1), when you select the folder, and then a playlist, instead of showing the playlist name at the top of the screen, it repeats the folder name.   For example, I have the folder "Smart" that I have my smart playlists in, when I choose a playlist in that folder this is what I see:
    Instead of showing the playlist name "Random Hard Rock" it repeats the folder name "Smart".

    hey i got the same problem on my iphone 5 since i updated to 8.1 what's wrong with this update ?

  • Music app playlist keeps repeating even if repeat is off

    Hi!
    So when I go to sleep I usually play music from a playlist in the music app. I always make sure the 'repeat all' function is off, so the music doesn't keep playing all night long. But quite a few times, despite the 'repeat all' function being off, I still wake up in the middle of the night to find the music is still playing, hours after it should have stopped. The playlist I usually (fall to) sleep with is usually between 30 ~ 60 minutes but is still playing 3 ~ 4 hours later.
    Anyone else here with the same problem? Is it a bug or just some random glitch?
    Thanks in advance for any input on this!

    I have this exact same issue but it doesn't happen all the time!

  • Music app playlist language

    Hi. I am a Korean user with an iPod Touch 32GB. I have both Korean and American songs, I set my language as English, Korean, back to English, then I realized that the language for my playlists part of my music app is in Korean. The playlist names are completely in Korean. Does anyone know how to solve this?

  • Setting tabs in order for music app-playlists songs artists tabs

    How do you set the icons for organize tabs in the music app?

    I have also noticed bugs with the music app after updating to iOS 8.2, though not exactly the one you mentioned.
    Soon after updating my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.2, I connected it to my computer via USB cable because I wanted to transfer new music from my iTunes library to my iPhone. My iPhone, before I connected it to my computer, had about 5000 songs on it. However, after my iPhone 6 synced with iTunes, all of a sudden the amount of songs on my iPhone went down to about 2500 songs. When I looked through the Music App, I realized that only the music I had purchased from iTunes remained on my iPhone, while music ripped from my CD collection had somehow been deleted. I ended up having to transfer my whole iTunes music library to my iPhone again! This issue has to have something to do with updating to iOS 8.2, because it has never happened to me before, and iTunes hasn't been updated lately but is up to date and has worked fine.
    After transfering all my music back on my iPhone again, I started noticing a major bug within the iPhone Music App. The incorrect Artist Info is displayed for many songs I purchased from iTunes. For example, I have the album "My Everything (Deluxe)" by Ariana Grande on my iPhone. Only one song from the album, "Love Me Harder", is by the artists "Ariana Grande & The Weeknd" and supposed to display as such in the artist info section in the music app. However, 13 of the 15 tracks from the album all incorrectly display "Ariana Grande & The Weeknd" in the artist info for each track in the Music App (the exception being the track "Bang Bang" which actually does display the correct artist info for that song). All these songs display the correct info on iTunes, and I even tried removing the album, and then retransfering it back to my iPhone, to no avail. This bug occurs on many tracks and albums I've purchased from iTunes, but only in the iPhone Music App, and only started after updating to iOS 8.2. Tracks ripped from my CD collection seem to be unaffected.

  • How to fix Music app playlist bug

    Hi guys, i would like to ask a for a bug fix on my iPod. I have a lot of songs beginning with the same word to be in one place. Last time when I syncronized my iPod (iOS6.1.3) and my iPad (iOS7.0.2) with the latest iTunes on my computer, I received a bug. My iPod's musics are in bad order (even with reboot, sync, deleting music-resync). For example ' music beginning with the word, 'Jump' before song beginning with word 'The' = J before T. But my iPad has the correct order so I wonder what is this bug. Please help me fix it!
    Thanks for help!

  • Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
    It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play.  That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
    How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

    I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app.  It should work just fine, it does work ok for me  on iphone 5.  The original question was to play music videos in the music app.  Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
    The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not.  I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found.  There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before. 
    The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play.  There is simply no way to categorize or group videos.  The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple.  It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
    You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos.  And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist.  Actually it is getting worse.  Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area. 
    Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
    What is happening here???  

  • Trying to understand the Music app... Genre question

    K... There are so many problems I have with the Music app, but this question is the focus on one.. I understand that I cannot play an entire Genre of music in iOS7 (without creating a Smart Playlist for each Genre from within iTunes), and I've come to terms with that....but I just realized I can't even see the specific songs that genre has.
    I dunno how to explain it, but I'll try...
    I have all of Adam Lambert's albums in iTunes and I have right clicked songs and set them to specific genres, some are pop, some are rock, and I have one lone Adam Lambert song in my "Dance" genre. On my iPhone, with iOS7, I go to the Music app...tap Genres...tap Dance...and it shows Adam Lambert...so I tap on it and it shows me ALL 70 songs, NOT the one single song I have listed in the Dance genre. Now, if I go to Genres on iTunes and go to the Dance section, then that one single Adam Lambert song shows up. This occurs with every artist, not just him. If I go to Rock, it shows all of them as well. It's as if...if you have an artist with a song in multiple genres it decides all of the songs should be in all of those genres. What's the point of it?
    I don't understand the point of the Genre section on the iPhone if I can't even sort my stuff correctly. Am I missing something or is this just how it is now?

    Have you read the manual for this plugin?
    It explains what High and Low refer to, and of course all the other parameters.

  • Music app reorders the wrong song in playlist

    In the music app, when I try to reorder the songs in my playlist it moves the song before the one I actually wanted to move (when there is one), and then it moves it to one spot higher than what I wanted as well (except when I'm moving it to the first song in the list).
    I'm sure it's a matter of some novice programmer not knowing if the app indexed starting at 0 or 1 and it should be trivial to fix, so how soon will it be fixed?
    I thought of a work around but it's really annoying. If I want to move the last song in my list, I have to add the same song again (probably any song would work, but this is more obvious) and then try to move it to the top of the list (which actually moves the old one). After that I can get rid of the duplicate that's still at the bottom.
    Was this handled in the iOS 6.1 patch? I didn't see it in the patch notes.
    When will this be patched? It shouldn't be this hard to reorder songs.

    I'm having a similar issue with my 5s, The playlist will allow me to edit and reorder the songs, however, as soon as I hit "done" it reorders them back to the spot they were previously in. I have the same iOS 7 on my iPad and no issue so it must be something with the iphone only.

  • I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS.  iTunes Match is on.  Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed.  Just happened when updating iTunes Match.  Solutons?

    I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory.  I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone.  Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed.  This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6.  It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes.  Ideas?

  • On my iPad3, in the Music app, I can find my video playlists in my iTunes library, but they are all empty.  This works fine on my iPhone4.  Does anybody know what the problem is?

    BACKGROUND:  When I'm home, using my iPhone4 and MacPro/iTunes library, I've been watching video on my iPhone via the Home Sharing feature of the said devices.  I have lots of videos in my iTunes library, so I've set up lots of video playlists to help organize stuff, and also to more quickly zone in on the video I want to watch from my iPhone and AppleTV.   So here's the process I go through when I want to watch a video on my iPhone:  go into the Music app, then hit the "More..." selection (along the bottom right of screen), then hit the "Shared" selection, then hit the "Bob's iTunes Library" selection, then hit the "Playlists" selection (along the bottom left of screen), then find/select the video playlist of choice, then find/select the video of choice, then start watching.  Aside from the occasional spontaneous disconnect issue I've been having lately, it all works like a charm.
    (NOTE:  I tried the same procedure using the Videos app on my iPhone, but there doesn't seem to be a way to see the video playlists in this app.)
    TO THE PRESENT:  So when I got my shiny new iPad3 this Monday, the very first thing I did was try to replicate this process on the iPad3. Because both the Videos app and the Music app look very different on the iPad vs their iPhone counterparts, I tried this using the Videos app first, but ran into the same problem as on the iPhone - there's no way (as far as I can tell) to view/access the video playlists in this app – all I see are icons, one for each video.   I then tried the Music app, and steps are identical to the iPhone version.    I got as far as getting to see my playlists, and then selecting the video playlist of interest, but once there, no videos are in the playlist, only a single song(??).   In fact, none of the video playlists have any video files in them (some have song tracks??).

    Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
    Can somebody help me?
    Thank you

  • So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music  app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that 2

    So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music  app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad.  It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

    Greetings,
    First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.
