Creating playlists is a great way to organize your favorite music by genre, mood, or other criteria. With Apple's Music app, you can create, manage, and share playlists.

According to the company representatives, Apple Music has "tens of thousands of playlists." So if you've created a unique song composition, you can share it with your friends or the rest of the world. After all, playlists are designed to be listened to!

Apple Music allows users to share playlists with other subscribers, but there is no way for multiple people to edit the same playlist - so only the creator can add or remove songs. With that in mind, you must find a suitable playlist or create it first to allow your friends to listen to your favorite music. The process of sharing playlists is almost identical for both iPhones and PC.

Why can't I share my Apple Music Playlists? See the reasons!

The sharing playlists process is straightforward. However, in some circumstances, the sharing button may not be visible. Here are some reasons why this may be the case.

Problems with sharing Apple Music playlists can occur if you haven't created your Apple Music profile yet. Unfortunately, until you do it, you won't be able to share playlists.

If your playlist contains songs from your local files only, you won't be able to share it until you sync the playlist with the Apple Cloud Music Library. Turn on the "Sync Library" function on your iPhone or iPad to do it. However, in most cases, the playlist sharing problem occurs in the first case - if you haven't created an Apple Music profile.

How to Share Apple Music Playlist using Smart Links

It's also possible to share your Apple Music playlist across all streaming services using the Smart Links tool! It's an excellent option for Artists & Curators and music labels. Once you set up your smart link, it generates a unique, sleek landing page, which can then be shared with a broader audience. You paste a link to a playlist on Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL - anywhere it is available. Whenever someone opens your smart link, they can preview your playlist and open it in the music streaming app of their choice. This way, you can easily share and promote your Apple Music playlist and get more streams and followers. Get started for free and create unlimited smart links.

Want to make an Apple Music playlist on the Mac? Playlists are a great way to group all of your songs together in different ways. That might be a collection of your very favorite songs, or a playlist full of songs that remind you about a particular vacation, or a collection of songs for an event. Whatever the reason, grouping songs together is part of what’s so great about digital music. And creating an Apple Music playlist on a Mac is easier than you might expect.

There are tons of reasons to create a playlist but no matter why you’re doing it, the steps remain the same. Those steps do change depending on the version of macOS you’re using, though.

That’s because Apple killed off iTunes with the introduction of macOS 10.15 Catalina. If you’re using Catalina or later you’re going to be using the new Music app. If not, you’re still using the old faithful – iTunes. But don’t worry, we’re going to run through the steps for both situations right now.

How to Make an Apple Music Playlist Using Music on Mac

If you’re already familiar with the process of creating playlists in Apple Music on iPhone and iPad then you should find the process for play listing on the Mac to be easy too, here’s how it works:

  1. Open the Music app on your Mac and then click “File” in the menu bar.
  2. Highlight “New” and click “Playlist.”
  3. Enter a name for your new playlist. You can also enter a description if required, too.

And there you have it, now you have an Apple Music playlist on the Mac!

You can delete any playlist that you no longer need by right-clicking it and clicking “Delete from Library.”

Adding songs to a playlist is a simple case of dragging them from anywhere and dropping them onto your playlist of choice.

How to Create an Apple Music Playlist using iTunes on Mac

Some Mac users are running prior versions of MacOS still that have iTunes, and you’re in luck because you can still create Apple Music playlists from iTunes too. Here’s how:

  1. Open iTunes and make sure that the “Music” is selected from the dropdown menu.
  2. Open the Music app on your Mac and then click “File” in the menu bar.
  3. Highlight “New” and click “Playlist.”
  4. Enter a name for your new playlist and press the Return key.

Note that while new playlists appear beneath “Music Playlists” rather than “Apple Music Playlists,” they do still sync to other devices signed in to your Apple ID. Put this one down to iTunes being older than pretty much anything else on your Mac.

Right-click a playlist and click “Delete from Library” if you no longer need it.

You can also add songs to any library by right-clicking the song, highlighting “Add to Playlist” and then clicking the playlist you would like to add it to.

Whether you’re using Apple Music through iTunes or the Music app, you’re now ready to go.

Like most other Apple services, if you make a playlist in Music on Mac but also have an iPhone or iPad, it will sync to those devices too automatically. And likewise if you make a playlist for Apple Music on iPhone or iPad it will sync to the Mac as well.
