Why do Apple Music Smart Playlists show the same results?

Has anyone noticed that the smart playlist limit to "most often played" filter returns the same results as the "least often played"?

I'm currently running Music v. 1.5.4.70

Why is my Apple Music Smart Playlist not showing recent additions? Hi all, I have a smart playlist in Music that shows the most recently added 1 GB of music. Since updating to Mac OS Sequoia 15.4, it appears that it is instead showing the least recently added even though most recently added is selected. If I change the setting to least recent, it has the same content in the playlist. Anyone else experienced this? I've posted a bug report with Apple as well. Ted [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Music streaming play count! I am having the same issue that was asked in this thread but a solution is not posted... Please help! Apple Music streaming play count! - Apple Community Apple Music streaming play count! Can anyone at Apple please enlighten me as to why when I stream a song from my Apple Music library on my iPhone it does not count as a song played in the play count or last played columns unless it's on my iMac? This is the most frustrating thing because I utilize Smart Playlists and some are based on play counts/last played.

Smart Playlist that depends on another smart playlist is missing some songs. 1 - I created a smart playlist - call it "A". 2 - I then created another smart playlist - call it "B", that depends on "A". 3 - B has 2 rules: "Playlist is A". "Rating is greater that 2" 3 - When I examine the smart playlist B, I notice that one of the songs in A that has a rating of 3 does not show in B, even though it obviously satisfies both rules of B. 4 - Seems like a bug to me.
