On my new iPad Pro (Dec 2018) in the Music app, my Playlists are duplicated as shown below on left - the ones w/ an album pic have music files but the same named ones w/ just the iTunes icon are empty - not sure when this happened (use this app only 'on the road' w/ a portable BT speaker) - I can easily delete these empty dupes but have over 100 playlists so a PITA (and will they return?). I'm running the latest iOS and manage my music manually on my MBPro, so no syncing is done - just hooked up the iPad to the laptop and made a backup - the playlists match and are single on both devices as seen on the laptop. I have no Cloud storage of my music.
The only 'new' addition to the household occurred yesterday - I added a Sonos Play1 'smart' speaker to the bedroom (pic below, right), which is on my home Wi-Fi network - using the Sonos app on my iPad, I added my Amazon music, Spotify, Pandora, and linked to our iMac's Music folder - allows me to select music from any of these sources to play on the Sonos speaker - amazingly the iPad cannot be added (seems to be an iOS Apple issue and smart speakers?).
Now, this is no big deal since I can easily select the playlist wanted but requires more scrolling - this apparently has been a common issue but usually when syncing w/ iTunes and/or using cloud services - of course, this will likely be corrected w/ the new iOS version this fall when iTunes will disappear and be replaced w/ a new Music app - any comments appreciated. Thanks. Dave
