For the past couple of months, I haven’t been able to add new music to my library. Or even add new songs to my playlists. I’ve sign off and signed back in. No change. I’ve offloaded the app, and re-downloaded it. No change. I’ve even tried to send Amazon Music a message through the App Store, but it won’t even let me do that. "- Reddit
