Add song to playlist while home sharing?

Hi All,
Taking advantage of Home Sharing and everything works fine except for one thing: while listening to the shared library should the desire arise to add the current song to a playlist there's no way to do it, or is there?
Currently I have to screen share back to the "host" computer and do it that way, but is there a way to enable

Yeah I'm not sure how that happened, nor do I know how to delete a post...

  • HT2688 How do I restrict access to *specific* songs (or give access to a specific playlist) in Home Sharing

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688?
    This article describes two different things:
    Music Sharing and
    Home Sharing
    Music Sharing allows you to select playlist(s) to share, and allows you to play the song from another device. It does *not* allow you to transfer the song to another device.
    Home Sharing allows you to share your ENTIRE music library and transfer the songs to another device. It does not allow you to restrict the share to a specific playlist(s).
    Try it. You can set a password and check the boxes to restrict your playlists, but that only restricts while Home Sharing is turned off. EVERY file is accessible when you have Home Sharing running.
    I have a bunch of music I don't want my kids listening to. I've created a playlist for them, and I want them to be able to load their ipods with music from that list without accessing other music.  Any ideas?

    say suppose i have no control over wcf client. so i want to do it at client side. so what is your suggestion. thanks
    If you can't  implement role based secuirty on the client-side, the you may want to look at what is in the link.

  • How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which it was imported.

    How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which they were imported. Now I have duplicate songs in my music library.

    You can't import media from one Home Sharing library to another by any other means except selecting the individual items you want to import. For example, you can't select a playlist and then click on the 'Import' button to import all the items in that playlist. You have to select all the items in the playlist before you can click on the 'Import' button. By extension, the playlist on the other Home Sharing computer will not be re-created on your computer. You can select more than one item using the 'Shift' or 'Command' keys.
    What you can do is create a playlist on your computer first, with the same name if you want, and then use drag and drop to copy the media from the remote playlist to your playlist. Note that the playlist on your computer cannot be a 'Smart' playlist it must be a regular playlist for drag and drop copying to work.
    Regarding 'Smart' playlists. If you create a 'Smart' playlist on your computer that uses the exact same filtres as the ones on the remote library when you import the media from the remote library they will show up in the same 'Smart' playlist on your computer.

  • How to sync playlists in Home Sharing?

    Howdy.  How do I sync playlists in Home Sharing?  I have my Mac Mini as my "Master Jukebox".  It's the main place where purchases and playlists are created.  The problem I have is that I cannot find a way to conveniently sync playlists from "Master Jukebox" to, say, my MBP.  If I am on my MBP and drag a "Master Jukebox" playlist to my MBP, it makes duplicate copies of the files in my MBP library.
    What's the proper way to do this?

    Interesting question!
    I have the same problem. As a music-lover & DJ, I have a huge collection of songs (mostly ripped from CD's and vinyls) I would like to share around the home network.
    I use a PC with my main library and nicely ordened playlists. I allready was able to share the music with my Macbook Pro through Home Sharing, but as the playlists are nicely ordened, I would like to sync them to!
    I also use Traktor Scratch Pro for performing...
    Is there a way to do this?
    If this works, I also can sync the whole library (including the playlists) to a Mac Mini I use as media server in the livingroom...

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...

  • Can I import a playlist over home sharing?

    I have my main music collection on my iMac running iTunes 12.  It includes some playlists I would like to have in an older Macbook Pro, running iTunes 11.4.  I have my Home Sharing turned on, and can import the items in the playlist, but have not figured out how to get the playlist itself.
    Is there an easy way to share a playlist within Home Sharing?

    Hello Burn16
    You should be able to, but if it is not working you can export your playlist and copy the file over and import the playlist that way.

  • Copying playlist through Home sharing or through any mean

    I have a new pc and I'm trying to copy my playlist from the old machine to the new one. I copied all of the music using Home Sharing but it seems you cannot copy a playlist through home sharing.
    1. Does anyone know how to copy playlists using Home Sharing or
    2. Does anyone know any other method of copying playlists from my old machine to the new?

    There is no such thing  as "home sharing sync".
    iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
    iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable.

  • Cant add songs to playlist

    just got a new ipod, transfered songs from old ipod to laptop, put songs onto new ipod.  Now the problem....i cant add songs to a playlist, the arrow doesnt give me the add to option and i cant drag them.....i have multiple devices , ipad, 2 iphones and now this ipod....itunes says downloading song x to match, what the heck is that and why is it taking so long?  do i have a library conflict or something?  i constantly struggle with syncing and manually manage this and that and all these songs will be deleted and synced with this library, etc....you get the picture.....can anybody give me the crash course of apple products 101? i never had any problems when i just had an ipod years ago but when we got multiple devices and accounts and cloud everything has become much more difficult.

    What sort of Playlist?
    You can only drag songs into regular Playlists, but not into Smart Playlists. In the picture below, the highlighted Playlists with the "musical note on paper" are regular Playlists, into which you can add songs:
    The Playlists with a "cog wheel" beside them are Smart Playlists. Songs are added to these lists according to the rules you set for that list. You cannot drag songs into them and if you try, you will see the red circle with the slash.
    Is this the problem?

  • ITunes 10.4.1 crashing on lion while home sharing with 10.4.1 on snow leopard.

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook pro 2010 that was just upgraded to lion.  While streaming content via home sharing from our 24 inch iMac with snow leopard, iTunes will crash on the MacBook pro.  Both machines have iTunes 10.4.1.  Our 2008 MacBook air with leopard streams from our iMac just fine via home sharing.  Tried re-installing iTunes on MacBook pro and logging in as root to see if that would help.  No dice.  iTunes keeps crashing with either movies or music. Anyone have this issue?

    Bump. Also an update: I found out that iTunes doesn't hang all the time when I tell it to close, only when I have the visualizer going, not in full screen mode. Hope that might help anything.
    Thanks,
    Carter

  • 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?

  • I can't add songs to playlists

    For some reason I can't add songs to a playlist, whether it's by the new drag & drop feature or even right click & add to playlists.  Song's just aren't being added.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    A Smart Playlist has this icon in iTunes 11:
