when we’ve added songs to our library from Apple Music (using the + sign)
when we’ve downloaded songs to our library from Apple Music (using the cloud sign).
Playlists full of the song? When you open itunes on your computer and right-click on a song and go to the “information”-tab it say on the bottom left how many times you listened to that song. But that (after trying multiple scenarios) only counts how many times you played the library-version of the song.
