Add Music to Playlist

After a few minutes using the desktop version (Windows 8.1, 64) the drag music to playlist won't work anymore: I need to close the app and open again. Same if I select the music, and choose to add in some playlist. I tried with different playlists, and the behaviour is the same. Att, Marcelo Santos. 

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No. Every song is in the Library, and a playlist is a subset of the Library.

  • Cant add music to playlist

    so yeah i have windows 8 and itunes hates it. everytime i try to add music to an already made playlist it crashes or it does not add. not to mention it keeps adding multiples of songs to my library when i have one file for the song... it hates windows 8

    hey there lindseyroyal!
    I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing in iTunes with Windows 8. The article is for Windows Vista and 7, but the steps still apply in Windows 8. That article can be found right here:

  • User account with sharing permissions to home iTunes library but I cannot add music to playlist created

    I have created a new user account on my iMac and set up itunes which will allow me to see and play music from my "home" or main user's library.  I wanted to create a new playlist in the new user side however itunes is not allowing me to add music to this playlist.  I am getting the following message:
    There was a problem downloading "Song Name".  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.  Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
    How can I correct this problem?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • Unable to add music to playlists

    Since downloading the latest iTunes software 10.4 (80), i am unable to add songs to existing playlists on itunes and my iphone 4. please help.

    First of all make sure it is a regular playlist (note symbol) and not a smart playlist (gear symbol).  OK so far?
    If that is not the problem, you may be encountering the intermittent bug that affects drag-n-drop into playlists.  The workaroud is to right-click the file, use "Add To Playlist" and pick the list you want.

    I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

    If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
    'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
    'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
    that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

    If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

    wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

    I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
    I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
    Once again, great review

  • Can only add music with Autofill from Library (not working with playlists)

    I can only add music using the Autofill feature and it will only work when the main music library is selected. Autofill does not work when a playlist is selected and I can not add music directly by dragging songs from a library or playlist as described in the owner's manual.
    Is there something wrong with iTunes, the iPod or is this user error?

    Hi Steve,
    You're right it's the same for me.
    I don't know as you mentionned whether it is an user error or not but I've got 2 iPods now, one is 60 Go color display (60Go) and the other received yesterday is 2G iPod Shuffle (Clipod). I can't drag songs from 60Go nor to iTunes Library neither to Clipod Music. The autofill function works only from iTunes Library where I've got 5 songs only (new MacPro), somebody knows how to export 60Go music to iTunes Library ?
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

    The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

  • How to not add songs from Playlists to the library (duplicate entries)

    In my iTunes library, I have lots of songs showing up more than once. When I right-click Get Info it seems this is because I have them on playlists that are also in the library. Songs in multiple playlists can even show up more than twice.
    I know I can Show Duplicates but it would take me ages. Also I can't tell which songs are direct, and which are from a playlist, unless I right-click and Get Info individually (it probably doesn't matter, but I'd prefer to delete the playlist songs).
    How do I edit the preferences so that this doesn't happen, and songs in playlists aren't added again? I looked around preferences and couldn't find anything that seemed to be what I needed.

    "Go to Library - Music and click Show duplicates.
    Select a duplicate and right click - Show in Windows Explorer.
    Everything in the library should be pointing only to an actual file on your HD, not a song in a playlist."
    ...I'm not sure if you're saying that iTunes shouldn't be behaving like this, but it IS. I followed your instructions, selected Library - Music and clicked Show Duplicates... what I see is 511 entries, most in pairs, some triplets.
    Here's an example:
    Two identical entries (bitrate, files size, duration, etc., all the same) for Get Me by Everything But The Girl... clicking Show in Explorer for the first entry opens an Explorer window with the filepath:
    D:\Music\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
    ...clicking the second entry opens the SAME Explorer window with the same contents but with the filepath:
    D:\Music\My Playlists\..\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
    So are you saying that the only way to eliminate these duplicate entries is to individually click each one and check if it's pointing to the original song file or to a playlist that includes that song and then delete it manually? ...for 511 entries? ... and how do I prevent this from happening with any new music I add?
