A problem of failing to launch PlayingAlbums (for macOS and iPhone) after adding songs from "Apple Music" to a playlist without adding them to the library was reported.

In "PlayingAlbums" songs in all "Library" are analyzed, then songs will be assigned to playlists. All songs should be included to "Library" in PlayingAlbums. If you add songs or albums from Apple Music to a playlist without adding to your library, PlayingAlbums will crash.

How to avoid this problem

macOS: Set "ON" to "Add songs to Library when adding to playlists" in "General" tab of Preferences in iTunes. Or add songs to Library manually when adding to playlists.

macOS: iTunes→"Preferences"→"General"

iTunes Pref

iPhone: Set "ON" to "Add Playlist Songs" in "Music" of "Settings."

iOS: Settings→"Music"

It has been long since Music app, default app in iOS did not support shuffling by albums. Probably, some people have searched apps for shuffling by albums. I have also done it. Finally, I made it by myself. It is the first app for iOS made by myself. I also add an option of settings for shuffling. Disc 2 is sometimes completely different from disc 1. Some albums such as Lifetime best may not be suitable for listen serially. Detailed settings are available if you use my macOS application. I do not know whether many people want such functions. However, I tried to make two application. One for iPhone, the other for macOS. I made it.
