I'm not sure if this is server load to blame, or really is! a bug. Basically, I went on I O S to the For You tab. I attempted to search for a song I'd never purchased before, and knew I never had in my ICloud, my purchases, or anything of sort. Found the song and was able to play it just fine. Once it played, I double tapped on the mini player. In here I went to the more button bottom right corner of the screen. In the menu I hit add to playlist, then added it to a playlist I created called Country Favorites. Yes, I created this playlist on the IPhone by going to the my music tab, selecting playlists, then double tapping the new button, and filling out the info.
Once I selected that playlist to add the song to, Voiceover said it was added. Well, not really. I went back and looked, and didn't see it at all. After literally about the 10th time trying to add it, it finally! finally finally! took. I then tried to go in ITunes on my mac. I went to my music and to playlists. I found the playlist, opened it up, but the song wasn't there. I saw absolutely no way to refresh the playlist. None at all! Finally, after about the 3rd time quitting ITunes with Command+Q, and relaunching it from my dock, it finally! finally! updated, and I saw the song, but man! what a pain that was! Now, you're probably saying, Chris, it's server overload. You said so yourself. Yes, you're right, I did indeed, but! here's what leads me to think otherwise that this may actually indeed be a true bug. If I search for a song on I O S, then get to the search results, instead of double tapping the result to start playing it, if instead, I use my action rotor and flick down to more and double tap, if then! I use the menu, and hit add to playlist, then! select the country favorites playlist, then! it works very consistently, or, so it seems so far. Then! if I close ITunes on my mac, and reopen it, it comes down right away. It's the strangest! thing I've seen! That's why I said, I don't know about what this whole ITunes match thing is vs. Apple Radio, per sé. I thought maybe it was because if the song isn't in your library locally on the device/mac/PC, you then couldn't add it to the playlist, but just for the heck of it, obviously, I'm not this much a sicko! I would never ever ever ever ever ever! listen to this normally, but that was kind a my point. I wanted something to the extreme. I searched for and found the track, AntiChrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson. Again, never would I normally listen to this. But, I added it to a playlist just to see if it would work. It didn't when I did so from the now playing screen. I thought well maybe if I locally download it to my device for offline playing, then it'll let me add it. Tried doing that then adding from the mini player now playing screen. It didn't work. Then, I went back and did it from the actions rotor without openning up the song or album to play first. I just went to more within my actions rotor out on the search results screen. Then I tried from there adding it to the playlist. Bam! It worked like a charm first attempt. I tried closing and reopenning ITunes, and what do ya know! Bam! There it was. Obviously, I couldn't delete that satanic crap off my system fast enough, but I did so, and it did indeed go away on both my phone, and my mac, so, thank? Gawod! My point is though, why the hell would this work from my results screen, but not from the now playing screen? that is just totally cockeyed! Any ideas? I'm literally drawen a blank over here.
