Empty Playlists Apple Music on Djay

Hi all,

Last Saturday, in the middle of a set, I created 2 playlists directly in Djay Pro through Apple Music stream to add some songs that were being asked by the people to play later. It turns out that I ended up putting these songs in qeue and I no longer remembered the empty playlists. Now, I notice that despite not being in the Apple Music app, they continue to appear in the stream playlists within Djay Pro.

How do I delete them?
What I’ve already done to try to solve it:

  1. Log Out of the Apple Music account on Djay on Ipad and login again, they are there…
  2. Access on a PC, a Mac and an iPhone and these empty playlists do not appear on Apple Music app, just in Djay

Thanks

Updated to 5.2.5, bug subsists
Can someone help please?

Hi @Marcio_Reis, sorry for the delayed reply. Unfortunately, Apple Music does not allow us (or any 3rd party) to delete playlists. You could try adding a track to the playlist and see if that initiates something in the Apple Music backend to make it show in the Music app and then delete it there. In the future, the best practice is to create and delete playlists in the Music app. I hope that helps. Thanks!

Got exactly the same issue on my macbook. I can’t add anything to the playlists in DJ as suggested - Doesn’t show in the list and wont let me drag and drop a tune on to them,

Same, can´t add any track too to that empty playlists. Were 2 and now are 4 empty playlists, and don´t know why.

Ive also got 4 empty playlists. In my case these were started as playlists i didnt want so deleted them from apple music.

In my case, the 4 empty playlists that appear in Apple Music as a stream source do not appear in the Apple Music app on Mac or iphone, anywhere. Because if they appear, I could eliminate them or test ways to eliminate them.

Tix 27246 and 31389 address weirdness and latency getting Apple Music playlists to be sync’ed/accessible by djay Pro. Given Algo’s responses, I get the sense this is largely out of their hands, and that we’re at the mercy of the Apple gods.

Since I don’t see it being addresses specifically elsewhere, I was hoping the community might be able to shed light on a nuance of playlist display: why blank playlists display and take up valuable top-of-the-list real estate in the UI. Has anyone identified what these playlists are? Artifacts of some kind? Invisible representations of some other lists in Apple Music, like “All Playlists”? Or complete anomaly that we just have to deal with? Thanks for any ideas.

(This question is based on my interest in prioritizing specific Playlists in my view, and getting them above the fold. If this is something you’d also appreciate, upvote my idea here. Thanks!)

Hi @earshotpresents, please use search before creating new topics. I’ve merged yours with this existing one. Please see above for more info. Thanks!

Sorry for missing the related ticket, @Slak_Jaw . Sounds like no known cause or resolution at this time? Similar to what OP notes here, there’s no way to add songs to playlist as proposed. Thanks!

No problem. You’re welcome.
