Playlist FROM iPhone TO MacBook Pro

Question

Playlist FROM iPhone TO MacBook Pro

Hi

On my iPhone, I have a playlist of approx 335 tracks. On my MacBook Pro I have over 8500 tracks including the 335 on my iPhone.

For some reason the playlist does not show on my MBP.

Is there a way to get the Playlist FROM my iPhone TO my MacBook Pro, without having to list all the songs in the Playlist and recreate the playlist on the MBP. I do have Apple Match subscription.

Many thanks

Yes, you can transfer the playlist from iPhone to Mac without recreating it

Most likely cause: playlist created while Sync Library was OFF

Turn Sync Library ON on both devices

Edit the playlist slightly on iPhone to force iCloud sync

If needed, use Finder device sync to extract the playlist

iTunes Match already covers the tracks — only metadata needs syncing
