Now I have all my playlist but when I open them, ALL THE MUSIC SONGS ARE GONE MISSING. And my music library also has no songs. Since they were backed up on iCloud it all show be there. I went to my Apple Music settings and clicked "Show music" because I've had this problem before and it was fixed once I did that. But now I've had my new phone for some hours now, w/o my music.
