How to auto-skip unplayable songs during Apple Music playlist download?

Anyone else have Apple Music stall when downloading your entire playlist? I know its due to a few “unplayable” songs, but is there a way to just skip those songs as they appear and continue downloading without having to intervene?


I have too many unplayable songs to manually find and remove them (I have ~70,000 songs total). Its such a simple fix on Apple’s part, there has to be an “autoskip” solution.


To recreate the issue (must have a minimum of 5-10 unplayable songs)

  1. add all songs to a playlist
  2. hold press the playlist until options appear
  3. select “add to library”
  4. hold press the playlist until options appear
  5. select “download full library”
