old playlists not shared on apple music

Hi, Back in the day I made a number of playlists in iTunes with music I bought from iTunes but mostly from CD's I ripped. I was never able to figure out how to share these with family. Oh well.

Now I have a family subscription to Apple Music. The family can all enjoy accessing Apple Music but the old playlists don't work on the family devices.

On Macs the playlist content shows up but cannot be located when you try to play. Asks if you want to locate it

On iOS devices the name of the playlist is there but it is empty.

Any suggestions on how I can share the music in the old playlists? Do I need to make new playlists with the same songs but from Apple Music?

thanks

Basically you need to export the lists out of itunes and import them into Apple Music.
