Whenever I've got some mood or theme on my mind I simply smack it into the search and most of the time I get a playlist that fits. I like that a lot. But today I saw that the "playlist" filter has been removed from the search results.

Bring it back, please!

My Question or Issue

Entering "country" in the search bar if MacOS app is not giving me "Playlists" in the filters of results, there is not category "Playlists" anymore.

Performing the same action either on iOS or in the web app is giving me the filer "Playlists" but when I select it, it says "No playlists found for "country""

Hey @RRabban

There's currently some issues in the app that are being investigated.

Looks like things are improving, so try again soon.

[RRabban]

the problem has been fixed 👍

Hi there @Sacer,

Thanks for reaching out. We've moved your post here where it better fits.

We've observed some hiccups with the playlists and playlist search in the last few days, so it seems more than likely this is why you don't see the filter option. Consider performing a full clean reinstall and ensuring your app is on the latest version, then the filters should all be present again.

Let us know how it goes.

Not finding a playlist that I did not delete. It's just gone.

@jtrenfrow

You may have accidentally deleted the playlist. Check out this support article to see how you might be able to recover it:

I’m having the same issues. My playlist isn’t on my profile and can’t seem to find it when I search for it. It’s public. I haven’t deleted it…

I’m having the same issue. I never deleted the playlist, I’ve seen and played from it less than 90 days ago, and it’s not under my deleted playlists that I can recover — it just appears to be gone.

Hi there @normalmeatball, @v123, @Em_123,

Thanks for the replies.

We'd love to look into this further, so to that end we'll need some more info on the matter. Can you confirm if this refers to playlists you created or ones from other people that you had saved in your library? Is the playlist in question missing across all devices?

Keep us posted.

Recently I've been listening to a playlist I created And now all of a sudden its disappeared from my library and when I click on it from my recents it says the content is unavailable. How do I get it back?? 

[Vasil]

Hey @Sydqueen,

Thank you for letting us know. Could you please confirm if the playlist in question can be found in the recovery section, linked by @MattSuda, and is the playlist fully missing from all devices?

And, @normalmeatball, @v123, @Em_123 - in addition to what @Joan has asked, could you also let us know if those missing playlists have been older ones, or created fairly recently.

Much appreciated. We'll be on the lookout for your replies.

I am having the same problem.  Playlists made a year ago are gone..... Now I have to start from scratch.  Not happy.

Hey @N8Bern 

Welcome to the Community and thank you for joining the thread.

To make sure we covered all the basics and to continue investigating this behavior, would you mind confirming if it was a playlist created by you or by someone else?

Also, is this happening on different devices? If you haven't tried yet,we'd recommend checking on a different device (using your own account) to see if you can see the playlists there. If you don't have another one available, you can borrow one from a friend or family member to test it out. 

Let us know how it goes.

Im having the same issue Playlist gone. I didn't deleted or went offline 

[willdasilva]

My collaborative playlist is not showing up on profile neither I can add songs to it. Can you please help? 

[MihailY]

Hey folks,

Thanks for your replies.

Can you confirm if the playlist is gone from Your Library or from your profile (or both)? If you can't see the playlist in Your Library or you're getting an error message when trying to access it, please check out this thread and share the info requested there.

If it's only gone from your profile, see if the playlist has been made private (3-dot menu - Make public/private).

If other users are not seeing it in search results, note that this is somewhat expected since there are different factors that influence its visibility there. You should however still be able to find it when you search for it in Your Library.

Keep us posted.

I'm missing at least one playlist that I created and had downloaded as well. When I search for it there is nothing. And when I look through all my playlists using the "by you" filter it's not there either.
