Individual songs from Apple Music playlist isn't marked a played

I can't figure out if there is a setting or a way around this. But I find it frustrating that the individual songs in a playlist from Apple Music isn't counting as a played song. To demonstrate this, I created a smart playlist that lists every song played within the last 1 day. Not a single song from the Apple Music playlist is there.


Is it because the Apple Music content isn't in my library?

That is likely the explanation, presumably only songs that are part of your library will be tracked for likes, plays, etc. You can easily test this by adding a track to your library, playing, and comparing the difference.
