How do I manage Music Playlists and sync between multiple devices?

I use Music for a few weeks now and made some playlists in Music on my iMac. On other devices (iPhone and iPad) just 5 of the 9 are shown on these devices. I can't find the reason why a few playlistst won't be shown on these devices. Does anybody has an idea?

Examine a problem playlist in the Songs layout, enable the iCloud Status column and sort on it. All tracks should be Apple Music, Matched, Purchased, or Uploaded. Any other status value is likely to cause the playlist to be excluded from your cloud library. Assuming that is the issue what values do you see?


This is the iTunes version of the excluded playlist symbol. Should be the same on a Mac, but probably grey.
