How to mark items as favorites in Apple Music on iPad

On iPad, you can mark items as “favorites” in Music to make them easier to find. If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can get notifications on new releases from your favorite artists, and easily get back to their music from the Home tab.

Artists you mark as favorites show up below Favorite Artists in Home, with their music recommended more often, and favorite songs go into the Favorite Songs playlist. You can remove favorites later.

Here’s how to mark items as favorites in Apple Music on iPad.

Add favorite playlists, artists, albums, and songs

Start the Music app on your iPad.
Do any of the following:
- Add a favorite playlist: Touch and hold a playlist or tap the More button when viewing a playlist. Then tap Favorite.
- Add a favorite artist: Go to an artist page and tap the More button. Tap the Favorite button at the top of the screen.
  
  When you mark an artist as a favorite, they appear below Favorite Artists in Home, and their music is recommended more often.
- Add a favorite album: Touch and hold an album and then choose Favorite. Or tap an album, tap the More button, and tap Favorite.
- Add a favorite song: Touch and hold a song or tap the More button next to a song. Tap Favorite. Or on the Now Playing screen, tap the Favorite button.
  
  When you mark a song as a favorite, it appears in the Favorite Songs playlist in the sidebar.

You can easily find favorite items in your music library. Below Library in the sidebar, choose Playlists, Artists, Albums, or Songs, tap the Filter button, then choose Favorites.

Remove playlists, artists, albums, and songs as favorites

Start the Music app on your iPad.
Tap the Show Sidebar button, tap a category under Library and tap the Filter button. Choose Favorites.
Touch and hold a playlist, artist, album, or song. Tap Undo.

Note: Deleting a song from your library doesn’t delete it from your favorites. To change this behavior, go to the Settings app, tap Apps, tap Music, then turn on Add & Delete Favorite Songs.

Quick tip: If you’d like songs you make a favorite added to your library, go to Settings > Apps > Music and turn on Add Favorite Songs.
