Song in Playlist but not Library (Apple Music app)

I’m trying to add a song to a playlist without adding it to my songs library. Older discussions suggest this is possible, with one posting:

"If you have songs in your Library that you want to move to a playlist and remove from iCloud Music Library, you first need to delete the song from your library, which will remove it from all playlists. Then, add the song back from the Apple Music catalog and add it just to a playlist."

But I’ve done this, and the song still shows up in my library. Thoughts?

Hi, sjo113!

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your question, you'd like to be able to add songs from Apple Music to playlists, but not necessarily to your Library. I'm happy to help!

The steps in Add a song to a playlist in Apple Music without adding it to your library - Apple Support should guide you through adding songs to your playlists but not your library.

Have a wonderful day.
