I mean that I am having difficulty adding a song from, say, an apple suggested playlist to an existing playlist I have on my phone. So, if I have their suggested playlist up, and in swiping right through the titles of the song, I see one I'd like to add to one of my own existing playlists, I can't in fact just double tap it, as this will only make the song start to play. If I do want to add it to an existing playlist, I have to double tap the song title, which will make it start playing, then bring up the mini player, find the more button, and then choose add to playlist. So this means that I am not actually able to spontaneously add songs to an existing playlist without actually listening to them. If I recall correctly, this was not the case in ios9. And if I do flick up and down on a song title, there is no "more" option--just activate and add to library. am I making sense? are other people having this difficulty too? Thanks in advance!
