Add to existing playlists within iPod Classic

I know that an iPod Touch can add songs to specific playlists.
Is there a way to add songs to specific existing playlists within an iPod Classic (not an On-The-Go playlist) with out having to use iTunes on my computer?
So far I have been adding them to On-The-Go and whenever I eventually get around to syncing is when the songs finally get allocated into specific playslists.
Gracias

No.

That sounds like a good idea.

Well if your iPod is not appearing under Devices in iTunes when you have it plugged into a high powered USB 2.0 port, then that would explain why this newly loaded CD has not synced to it yet.
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

Why not? What happens when you try? How are you trying to sync them or do you manually manage your iPod's content? Are you getting any specific error messages from iTunes?

Any workaround for mixed media playlist on ipod classic?

On Itunes I can create a mixed media playlist (music and music videos)
I can put that playlist on my ipod.
But when it comes to playing the video the ipod will only show the audio if coming from the playlist.
It shows up fine when being accessed via music videos.
If I plug the ipod into itunes, and click "on this ipod" my playlist shows up.
When I play the playlist on the ipod and a video comes up, the video starts in itunes with no problem.
Does anyone have a workaround for this to happen on the ipod classic?
Can I encode audio only in mp4?
Then maybe all songs will be listed as music videos, and those with audio only will display the cover?
Just brainstorming out loud here.
Thanks,
Dan
P.S. Just noticed other people had a similar question. A lot of discussion but no definitive answer.
Maybe someone will have discovered a workaround since the last thread.

I found the problem !!! I had many smart playlist with a rule that was -> "Album - is - "empty"". It seems that the new iTunes this kind of "empty rule" would not accept. I had to add a new rule -> "Playlist - is - Music". Now it shows all the songs on the iPod.
It seems to be an Apple Bug on iTunes. I hope they can resolve this problem.

Playlist on iPod Classic 160GB are empty

Something strange is happening on my brand new iPod Classic 160GB. I followed the instruction to install and sync my iPod with the newest iTunes 11.0.2.26 on market. The sync went all fine, but when I want to choose a playlist, for example the playlist "Hip-Hop" on my iPod it's shown all empty (0 songs)! When I'm searching a song on the iPod which it must be listed in this playlist, the song is found without a problem. It seems that all songs are synchronized correctly, but there is a bug with the visualization of some playlists. I note: Not all playlists are affected from this problem and on the iTunes in the chapter "songs on iPod" the songs are all listed correctly.
I tried to make a restore, but the problem is still the same. A sync from one playlist (by choosing manually the playlist) it hasn't helped as well.
Anyone have some suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help ;-).

Loss of playlists on iPod Classic after upgrading to new version if iTunes

Everytime I've upgraded to a new version of iTunes, I lose all the playlists (songs,videos,etc) from my iPod Classic. I have to re-sync everytime and with a lot of songs it gets annoying and I don't want to upgrade to new versions. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

I've seen this once before and deleting the playlist and recreating it with a different name solved it.
Also... try using disk utility to burn a data CD to make sure that burning generally works. Daft I know, but there you go.

I can't sync my playlists with ipod classic or a new ipod touch.

I have been having problems with my iPod Classic in my car. Colleague used his iphone with no issues. I reset my iPod classic to original factory settings but now when I sync my playlists with iTunes are not included. Very strange.

I'm having the same problem with my 30GB U2 iPod. I used iSquint to convert my video, and it plays perfectly fine on my iTunes, but it just goes to a black screen when I try to play it on my iPod. The movie is in Mpeg-4 format, which is supposed to work on the iPod-- right?

How to copy playlists form ipod classic into iTunes 12

I need help transferring my playlist into my iTunes 12 library. My computer crashed and I was only able to get my music library re-installed in iTunes but my playlists did not show up. Does anybody know how to copy playlists from my I-pod classic into the iTunes 12 .

I have two scripts for recovering data from devices; ImportDevicePlaylists to import the playlists, and SyncStats to import the ratings and play/skip counts/dates.
The user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device has more information on recovering content from devices, but if you have all of the media then the scripts above will probably cover everything that else than can usefully be recovered, though you should still backup and then restore iOS devices.
See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy to ensure you have a full backup of your library in future.

How to manually add songs and playlists to ipod with new version of itunes?

So I didn't have any problem adding songs to my ipod nano manually until I updated itunes a few minutes ago, and found the settings completely different than previously. I can no longer just drag songs and playlists to my ipod. I have "manually manage music" and "enable disk use" selected. I do not want to sync my whole library to it. I have more songs in my library than can fit on my ipod. And I already have my playlists set up how I want them. Can someone help?

go to iphone, then on the page below click the Add To... icon on the top right.
then its easiest to view them by songs. and then you can drag and drop from them and click Done when finished

How do transfer my songs AND playlists from iPOD classic to a NEW laptop

How do you transfer both songs AND playlists from an iPOD to a new laptop? I have read a few posts about this, but none seem to talk about transfering the PLAYLISTS. I understand there is a manual method since the iPOD is essentially viewed as a hard drive by a windows based machine/PC and there are third party applications to provide a more automated process.
So can playlists be transferred? If so how? Or will i need to recreate all my playlists? It is not the end of world, rather just tedious. Are there any "gotchas"?
Thanx

I also have a similar problem. Lap top crashed - new lap top have VISTA (I know...).
Using my ipod as a external hard drive - I have loaded all the tunes onto a new folder on the desk top. I then loaded all the files into the itunes library and have upload them on the new itunes on the new lap top - all good. They are now on the new itunes library and my ipod
However NONE of my purchased items have been transfered. Issue is that the files on the Desktop folder will not show which are purchesed and which are imported from CD - how do I find and then transfer my purchased songs...
Thanks

In iTunes 12, how do you add an existing playlist to a device without using sync or manually dragging the playlist to the device?

Is this a deeply-buried function, or does it not exist as an option in the latest version of iTunes? Or am I missing something obvious and easy?

Hey HalSF,
iTunes allows you to sync music with your devices in several different ways, including by playlist. See the iPhone user manual for how to -
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Specifically page 19.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Can't add purchased TV shows to iPod classic

I have a 160gb. I downloaded a tv show earlier and I can't figure out how to add it. I went to the summary under the TV show tab, I saw where you can click and sync the chosen show, but for some reason its not syncing the shows I selected. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Does any error message pop up?
I've been there before, but the TV Shows didn't sync because of the resolution of the file (iPod supports 640 by 480 pixels).
There's a built-in converter in iTunes. Highlight the items you want to sync go to the Advanced tab and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". This will create files that should work with your iPod...
If you try this, please report your results... some people (including me) are having problems with the process.
I hope it helps.
