Apple Music deleted several playlists

Hey, I was trying to synchronize my Macbook to my iPhone.

I have a playlist that had about 6000 songs, maybe a decade old playlist. This one and several others got completely nuked, and songs that exist locally on my Macbook were kept in a couple other playlists. Most (a couple hundred) of the playlists are intact, I'm not sure what to do. I'm very upset :/

Why do songs disappear from my Apple Music playlists? This happens every so often. I've had playlists with hundreds of songs and suddenly they only have like twenty, so then I have to remake my playlist all over again. There is a problem with your Apple Music system, please fix it.

My Apple Music Playlists are empty on my MacBook Pro. I have Sync Library on, and can see the full playlists on other devices. Can someone help? I'm on the latest version of Sonoma and my iOS device is on the latest version of iOS. I have a playlist full of Apple Music songs that displays empty when I open it on my MacBook, but all the songs are available when I view it from my iOS device. This has affected pretty much all of my playlists, with both music from my library and music from Apple Music. I've ensured my library is syncing and again, I can see all of my music in my playlists on my iOS device. Here's a link to one for reference: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/chriss-neil-young-favorites/pl.u-vxy6DBMtLY0gB

lost playlists After upgrading to Ventura from Catalina on my MacBook Pro I have lost my playlists in the Music app, all of the music is there but no playlists. I don't have a Music subscription and manually synch my music to my iphone, the playlists are still on the iphone because I haven't synched since updating the OS. Is there any way to recover the playlists or get them off the iPhone back onto the Mac?
