Add Multiple Folders as Individual Playlists in iTunes

I usually drag and drop folders in my library to add the folder as a playlist. But the folder has folders inside that I would like as a playlist too. I would like to save time by not having to drag this folders also, one by one.
Is there a way to add multiple Folders as Individual Playlists in iTunes?
Is there a script or a way to this?

Thanks!

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

Please add the ability to add multiple folders to the assets folder in order to better organize large numbers of files.

Hello KDLadage
Thank you for your recommendation. I understand the challenges of managing large numbers of files on the My Files page. I also understand the need to preserve project files.
Perhaps a compromise would be to create an Archive tab under My Files. Previous versions and retired project files could then be automatically moved into this holding area when a new version is published, thus preserving the files in a separate area that is still accessible to the author.
I will submit this suggestion to our product management team to consider as a future enhancement.

Sharing individual playlists between iTunes and Apple TV

When I setup Home Sharing in iTunes to share only one individual playlist to my Apple TV, it still shares my entire library. Why? I have Sharing set to: Share My Library on Selected Networks, Share Selected Playlists, and I have the one playlist I want to share selected.
Thanks

When I setup Home Sharing in iTunes to share only one individual playlist to my Apple TV,
There is no such option. You can turn home sharing on or off. If you are on a Mac you can set some retractions to photo sharing over home sharing, but that is the only thing you can limit.
If you are talking about the music sharing tab that is from iTunes to iTunes. It has nothing to so with home sharing.

How can you move multiple folders at one time into iTunes?

I am trying to add multiple audiobooks for my daughter from my desktop onto iTunes. Is there a way to copy more than one at a time? Thanks.

Suppose you have track 1 filled with clips and gaps.
Drop a color matte or transparant video or what ever, in track 2 and stretch it over the selection of gaps you want to delete.
Select everything in that selection in track 1 and drop it in track 2 on the color matte. Don.t deselect and drop it back into track 1.
Track 2 is now filled with pieces of color matte superimposing the gaps.
Select everything in track 2 and ripple delete.

TS1717 itunes continually crashes when I try to add a song to ipod playlist from itunes library.

Since I've updated to itunes 10 recently, itunes crashes everytime I try to add a song from my library into an ipod playlist. This has never happened before and seems to be related to the recent update. Please advise.

Start by updating iTunes, you can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't do it, try the suggestions in this Apple doc -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

Add multiple .m3u playlists into itunes library

is there any way to add multiple .m3u files to itunes library so they result in multiplay playlist instead of a big playlist? thanks

I haven't done it, but the approach to try would be to CTRL-click them, so that multiple of them are highlighted, and them drag them to the word PLAYLISTS. Try it with two and see if it works before you do it with more.

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

"Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist. However, the song is stored on the iPod once. What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

Create multiple playlists by dragging multiple folders?

As the subject says, I'd like to be able to drag multiple folders into iTunes' Playlist column to create a playlist for each folder (and given the same names as each folder). Unfortunately, iTunes only creates one folder named "Untitled Playlist" when multiple folders are added. My music library is divided into hundreds of folders, each named for the artist who's music is contained within. Having to individually drag each folder into iTunes is a royal pain.
Is there a shortcut or key combination that will allow this? Or is this just a major iTunes feature shortcoming? I can only hope that this is addressed in a future update.

Creating a playlist for each artist is also a pain, especially when iTunes does this automatically.
iTunes menu View -> Show browser.
Select the Genre, Artist, Album (or multiple items) to see only those items.
The more playlists you have the more it will slow down as i tneeds to rewrite the iTunes library file and iTunes library.xml after almost anything you do in iTunes such as listen to a song, skip a song, cahnge any info, etc.

How do you add multiple iTunes to Keynote

How do you add multiple songs from the iTunes to your Keynote presentation?

Jer&Renee,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
It depends where you want them in your presentation.
Open the Media inspector and choose a playlist. In the list of entries, mark those you want to add to Keynote (use command-click to mark multiple titles not in one block).
Then drag the marked titles either on a slide or on the small Audio field (looks like a frame) in Document inspector. When you then hover the cursor at the Audio "frame", you'll see the quick info "Multiple Files". You cannot change the order or remove one of the files, but only all of them.

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones!

For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud."
