Alexa won't recognize my apple music playlists

Just to get it out of the way, I do have Apple Music as my prime music account linked to my Alexa. It will play any songs or albums that I ask for but if I ask for one of my specific playlists that I have manually made, it will say that it doesn’t recognize it or that it can’t find it. At first I thought maybe it didn’t understand what I said, but it repeats the name back to me correctly. anyone else have this issue?

Hi there soshitan,


Is this specific playlist in your iCloud Music library? We ask because if not, Alexa may not be able to play it:


You can ask Alexa to play songs, artists, albums, or genres from Apple Music. You can also play playlists from Apple Music's editors or playlists in your iCloud Music Library.


You'll find this information here: Play Apple Music with Alexa


Take care.
