Add file to playlist

I saved a podcast to my school's webserver. I know the url of the file. However, I can't seem to download the file to my iPod. Can anyone direct me on how to download a file? If you're interested in the file, it's just a short podcast of me saying, "testing...", it is http://www.hsd.k12.or.us/lenox/sixth/podcasttest/test.mp3. Thanks so much.
IMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

I just downloaded the file by control-clicking on the URL and choosing 'Download Linked File' from the contextual menu (using Safari).
After downloading, double-clicking the file added it to iTunes.
Transferring it to an iPod should be no problem.
Comment: the sound level is very low, but you said it's a test
Hope this helps.

  • An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method.  Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  My OS is Windows 7.

    I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop.  The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places.  I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer.  Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works.  I've tried both ways over and over.  Cannot figure out what the problem is.  I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all.  Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong?  My OS is Windows 7, using IE9.  Thanks.
    ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE:  I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes.  The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

    I don't have a Recently Added playlist.  However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes.  I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet.  Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there.  Thanks for your help. 

  • Is there any way for additions made by one user of a shared library to be visible to the other user of the same library, without having to always "add file to library"?  This was the whole reason we consolidated the library into a public folder

    My wife and I share a computer but have separate Windows ID's.  We also each have an iTunes account, using two separate Apple ID's.  We have always struggled with the headache of getting music that one of us added (via purchase, downloading CD, etc.) to the other person's music library.  A friend suggested we consolidate and share the same library.  Sounded like a good idea so we moved the libraries to a public folder, consolidated them, etc.  But now when one of us adds music to the library, the other person still has to do an "add file/folder to library" in order for them to be able to see it.  This is exactly the step we were hoping to eliminate by this consolidation.  Does anyone know if there is a way to make this happen automatically, or will we have to continue to do this every time?
    Also, ended up with a lot of duplicates in the process of consolidating.  Is there any way to identify and "mass delete" these?  It will take a while to go through them all individually as the library is somewhat substantial (approx. 16k songs)
    Hardware is Windows 8, one iPod classic, one iPod Nano (obviously only selected playlists on this one).  All hardware and iTunes running latest software.
    Any information would be appreciated!

    It sounds like you are using two independent libraries with a common media folder, whereas the plan would have been to ensure that both profiles were using the same library library database. Although you can place this within the Public folder I would normally create a shared library at the root of a drive, e.g. at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive that you want to use. See Make a split library portable for information on moving the library around back into a standard shape.
    As for duplicates, Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Cannot add a new playlist to my iphone - Help!!!

    I am not able to add a new playlist to my iphone.  I recently changed my computer, and when I choose the option to manually manage my music, I get a message that my phone is synced to a different itunes library, and if I sync to this library my content will be erased.  Obviously I did not continue.  I authorized this computer (which I had not done before), but I still cannot add a new playlist.  What can I do?

    I found this solution on a gogle discussion site, and it works.
    "In iTunes, right click the playlist on your iPhone then select "export" to export the playlist as a .txt file (I have 3GS with iOS5). 
    Then still in iTunes, select "File, Library, Import Playlist", navigate to and open the .txt file, and it will appear in the iTunes sidebar.
    I've tried to do this numerous times before.  Sorry if this is old news but I was so pleased I wanted to share it."
    After creating the playlists in your itunes library, sync your phone with the settings to manually manage your music (which will delete all the music from your phone), then drag the playlists back to your iphone.  You can then start manually managing music on your phone.

  • Cant add file to library

    there are songs in my itunes music folder that did not show up in itunes after i transfered from pc to pc. when i click on file>add file to library and select missing tracks nothing happens. any suggestions?

    Usually I only recommend 2 to users I post to, the totally free yamipod that will copy your songs back to the PC and itunes and Podutil which there trail version will do it all, copy the songs with there playcounts, ratings to iTUnes and all your playlist if your itunes is like totally wiped out. Only downside to podutils trail version is after every 50 songs it copys a pop up comes where you have to hit "OK" for it to continue copying, small price to pay for something that does it all for free.
    On a separate note I hope your backing up your music, or atleast purchased music. Everyday we get 3-4 post where people have had there PC crash then they link there ipod to a blank iTunes or somethng, loosing all they have bought. Heres a link to backing up your music http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/

  • I can't drag and drop files to playlist or to Shuffle.

    I have iTunes 10.5, and I can't drag and drop files to playlists or to my shuffle.  For playlists, I have to right click and "add to playlist" and for shuffle, I have to copy song and paste it into shuffle.  Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

    A lot of people are having this problem.  Most commonly, they are using a Wacom tablet, and sometimes updating its driver helps.  I don't have a Wacom, but still have the "can't drag" problem.  Here are the workarounds I have found in the forums so far...
    1. "gusto drag" -- slide the pointer across a song and click.
    2. clicking with both left and right mouse buttons.
    3. selecting items and do a "create playlist from selected". Then select the iPod and autofill from that playlist.

  • Add stream to playlist

    I am runnning itunes 11
    I can use command-u to open a URL
    how can I add this stream to a playlist?

    I found a workaround, though not the best in my opinion.
    1. In iTunes, go to Internet Radio
    2. Highlight the station you want to play (single click)
    3. File -> New -> Playlist From Selection
    4. Go back to your playlists - there will a new one.  If you want you can drag the new station from there into an existing playlist.
    Cheers!

  • My windows PCM has iTunes 11.0.4.4. I created a new playlist in iTunes and wanted to add it to my iPod nano. When I tried to add the new playlist iTunes wanted to wipeout all of my other playlists before it would allow me to sync!  Help!

    I don't want to lose my playlist already on the iPod so I won't click the sync box because it will delete all my lists. How can I add a new playlist without losing the others?  Can it be done?

    You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
    Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.
    Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

  • MAC iTunes 11 search songs and add all to playlist?

    I used to be able enter a search term and find all songs then slect all and add or create a playlist.  What happened?  now a separate column opens and I try using cmd to select more than one - that doesn't work. Tried shift to slect all that doesn't work.  Wish there was a toggle to switch back to old interface.  Anyone know how to search and find a more than one at a time to add to a playlist?  I use to do that a lot! 

    I have a similar problem. Dozens of play counts are gone (but not ratings). It affects some songs that are of the kind "Purchased AAC audio file" rather than whole albums.

  • What is the difference between: "Place..." or "Add files for Upload..."?

    Where can I get information about the detailed differences between the commands "Place..." and "Add Files for Upload..." of the Files menu?
    Understand that in both cases the files are linked and not embedded. But what further differences are there?
    I came across this issue because widget 039 (Animated Image Rollovers) from MuseThemes works only if you use the "Add Files for Upload..." option.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    There are a few differences in both the options-
    Place is used to add content to page (rendered) while Add Files for Upload... is used to upload files to your site but not on page (not rendered).
    Placed images are published to /images folder on the server while images added using Add Files for Upload... option are published to the /assets folder on the server.
    Placed images have a chance of getting renamed (if resized/interpolated in Muse) upon publish while images added using Add Files for Upload... retain their names.
    Place can be used to add limited file formats like jpg/png/psd/swf/oam etc while you can upload almost any type of file using Add Files for Upload...
    You don't see Placed content in the Hyperlinks dropdown for linking while files added using Add Files for Upload... show up in the Hyperlinks dropdown so that you may link to them and allow download.
    Both serve different purposes and Add Files for Upload... is preferred by Widget Developers because it gives more control over uploaded content and assurance that file location and name will be as expected.
    Hope the above give you clarity on the basic difference.
    Cheers,
    Vikas

  • URGENT: Need help to add files to OA Project in JDev 9i

    Hi,
    OA Framework Version 11.5.10.6RUP
    JDeveloper 9.0.3.5 (Build 1453)
    1. The standard iProcurement NonCatalogRequestPG page is running fine in PRODUCTION and I have been asked to do enhancements like VO extn etc so I am trying to import files from server to JDev on my local machine.
    2. FTP $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/icx/*.* to c:/jdeveloper/jdevhome/jdev/myclasses/oracle/apps/icx
    and FTP $ICX_TOP/mds/*.* to c:/jdeveloper/jdevhome/jdev/myprojects/oracle/apps/icx
    4. Open Jdev and create OA Workspace & OA Project (default package: oracle.apps.icx)
    5. When trying to Add files and directories to OA Project, created in step 4, its bringing all files at one level. I dont see any hierarchical directory structure i.e. I dont see package like oracle.apps.icx with sub-directories like punchout, icatalog, lov,etc What I see is all files at one level under xxicx.jpr
    What am I missing here, PLEASE HELP...
    Thanks a lot!

    What you are doing is very simple job and I am sure you will achieve whatever you want.
    create a directory structure od seeded VO in your myprojects dir. then just copy vo.xml, voimpl.java and vorowimpl.java in that dir. create a BC4J component for thsi dir structure and then create new Vo with extends property as this seeded VO.
    If you still have a problem, please upload screenshot of problem to some website, I will download from there.

  • I try to add files from my computer, but they never show up.

    I've tried the copying thing too. usually, all I have to do is click file>add file to library>(chose a file) and everything's fine. but lately, I would go through the process and there'd be absolutely no change in my library, not even a notice.

    You're welcome.
    Do you know where you make the various selections to be synced or transferred to your iPhone with iTunes on your computer? If so, same place.
