Hi Apple enthusiasts,

I just switched from Spotify to Apple Music and have a few difficulties with the app on iOS and iPadOS

  • Where can I see all my hearted/liked music?
  • How can I create folders?
  • How can I add existing or new playlists to existing folders?

Thanks for your help in advance :-)

    It’s an unfortunate situation, but there’s an app called ‘Miximum’ that I use to create a smart playlist for all of my “Loved” songs. Also works really well to make genre/decade specific playlists if you’ve got a large library

    All three of these functions exist, but only in the desktop app. You can create a smart playlist for your loved songs, and create folders and move them in and out on the Mac and then the iOS version will respect and display it all, but you have to manage it from the desktop. Hopefully they bring these functions to mobile soon

    The equivalent to “liking” a song on Apple Music is simply adding it to your library. From there you can simply click on “Songs”

    Tbh never tried making folders so I can’t help there sorry

      I am guessing that liking a song will have some sort of influence on my personal radio.

      Yes it took me a while to understand that adding a song to a playlist shoves it in to my library also.

        Yea exactly, liking a song in AM is primarily to improve the algorithms, nothing more.

        Unfortunately I found that AM did a very poor job of generating an enjoyable personal radio from my “liked” (added to library) songs.

        Really wanted to use it, and I tried for about 6 months, but I ended up going back to Spotify. First day going back to Spotify made me even more disappointed in AM because of how spot-on the music discovery is there.
