Adding iTunes playlist to a zumo 660 gps

How do you move an iTunes playlist to a zumo 660 gps

This is what I could come up with:
1. In iTunes, highlight the Playlist, and then right-click "export" to a working folder of your choice as a ".m3u" file.
2. Open the resultant ".m3u" file with Word or some other word processor.
3. This is how one songs file entry would look:
#EXTINF:236,Angels We Have Heard on High - Trans-Siberian Orchestra
F:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Trans-Siberian Orchestra\The Christmas Attic\08 Angels We Have Heard on High.mp3
4. Change all "\" to the Tab Character (replace "\" with "^t")
5. Convert all to a Table, 8 (must be "8" to match the number of file path references in this example) columns wide and be sure to select separate text at TAB marks
6. Delete columns 2 through 7, leaving only column 1 and the "File Name.mp3" column
7. Highlight column 1 and change all of the Drive Letter references to NULL (" replace X:" [X = Drive letter path name] with NULL character "").
8. Convert the table back to text, using the Paragraph Mark as the separator.
9. Highlight the entire document and change all double paragraph marks to the NULL character. (replace "^p^p" with ""). Be sure to go back and separate the first "#EXTM3U#EXTIN" with a Paragraph Mark, so that it reads "#EXTM3U" paragraph mark "#EXTIN....." or it won't register as a playlist on the Garmin.
10. Save the file as ".txt" back to your original working folder.
11. Delete the existing ".m3u" file.
12. Rename the ".txt" file with a ".m3u" extension.
13. Copy the file to the "mp3" location in your Garmin unit.
Seems like a lot of work when You can just buy an iPod and sync with one easy process.

Adding iTunes playlist as separate file in iDVD

I am creating a DVD using video created in iMovie. In addition to the movie, I would like to include a separate file of the music (something like a soundtrack in the form of an iTunes playlist) that can be accessed through the main menu. I have not been able to find an answer in iDVD Help.
How about adding a folder of the photos that were used to make the movie/slideshow?
Can either of these be done?

You can add music files to the DVD-Rom section of the Dvd but you won't be able to access the files unless it's from a computer (since the dvd rom section isn't readable on most set top dvd players).
You can add audio to slideshows ie "Fit Slides to Audio" or you can add audio as a separate track within the video editing application (iMovie). However, iDvd wasn't really designed as a video editing app (apple leaves this function to apps like i-Movie, FCP, FCE, etc.)
Essentially, iDvd is to iMovie what the candy wrapper is to a chocolate bar. It's simply the exterior packaging of the movie you made in iMovie or FCP.
frankly I normally use a CD for all audio files (that or an iPod). But if you want to write audio files to a Dvd then consider an app like Roxio toast and make an audio disc.
An audio disc is a CD or DVD that contains audio files. Audio discs are meant to be played in a home or car stereo, in a set-top DVD player, and can also be used in a Macintosh or Windows computer.
or select from these types of audio disc
Types of Audio Discs:
Toast can create many kinds of audio discs - more than any other Mac burning software.
• Audio CD: This CD can be played in most home or car stereo CD players, set-top DVD players, and computers. This is similar to a standard commercial CD you can purchase in music stores. This is the best choice for playback in a CD player. See Making an Audio CD.
• Music DVD: This DVD can be played in a set-top DVD player or in a Macintosh or a Windows computer with a DVD player. A music DVD can contain over 50 hours of music and has full navigation menus for song selection. This is the best choice for playback in a DVD player. See Making a Music DVD.
• MP3 Disc: This CD or DVD can be played in home or car stereo MP3 disc players, some set-top DVD players, and most Macintosh and Windows computers. MP3 discs have longer playing times than audio CDs but their playback is less universal. See Making an MP3 Disc.
• Enhanced Audio CD: This CD can be played in a home or car stereo CD player. It contains additional data content, which is accessible in a Macintosh or Windows computer. See Making an Enhanced Audio CD.
• Mixed Mode CD: This CD can be played in a Macintosh or Windows computer. It offers playback compatibility with older CD-ROM players and is rarely used. Enhanced Audio CD is a better choice for this type of disc. See Making a Mixed Mode CD.

In iTunes I accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" wheel playlist. How do I get it back?

I was trying to clean up my playlists in iTunes and in doing so accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" wheel playlist. I really want it back so I can see what I have recently added when I download or open things in iTunes. Is there any way to get this wheel back?

Forget question. Just saw solution elsewhere on this site.

I accidentally deleted the "Recently Added" default playlist from iTunes. Any way to recover and reinstall it?

File > New Smart Playlist
Call it "Recently Added" and make the rule that date added is in the last 2 weeks (or your preference for "recent").

Unable to shuffle Music Video added to Playlist in iTunes

I am unable to shuffle music videos added to iTunes Playlist. I want to listen songs present in playlist with a random selection instead of a sequential playback. Also when I activate the shuffle button while playing videos the playback stops after completion of the current track.
So please suggest a way out.
Thanks

If the iPad works the same way as the iPhone, I found a workaround, created a playlist in my music (instead of videos), added my videos to this playlist then play everything off the 'Music' app rather than the 'Videos' on my iPhone. Works perfectly for me, can shuffle, loop...

Songs Don't Get Added Correctly To My Nano From My iTunes Playlists.

Some of the songs from my iTunes playlist don't get imported onto my Nano for some reason. I tried over and over--first deleting the playlist, then adding the playlist again to my Nano, but the same songs still don't get added correctly. They show up on the Nano's playlist, but when I try to play the song, it skips them!

The gray dot means the songs didn't get synced...
What's the provenance of the songs?
What's the format/encoding/bitrate?
If you can’t load a song or other item onto iPod shuffle
The song might have been encoded in a format that iPod shuffle doesn’t support. The following audio file formats are supported by iPod shuffle. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasts:
AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (up to 320 kbps)
MP3 (up to 320 kbps)
MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
WAV
AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)

My ipod nano 7th gen no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.

I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Script to play itunes playlist on start?

I have just done the software upgrade to SL and now my old script doesnt work to auto play an itunes playlist on startup.
I found the following script as a replacement but it doesnt seem to run automatically on start up.
tell application "iTunes"
activate
play playlist "1jwmix"
end tell
I placed this script into Apple Script Editor and saved it in my MUSIC folder. And Yes I added the script to the log in items... so it does currently open on start up. Just doesnt seem to auto run the script.
Sorry script writing isnt something I understand much about.
Help please!

Presuming you've confirmed that the script works correctly when run in AppleScript Editior, make sure you're saving the script as an application, not a script. Then put that application in your startup items.
Hope this helps.

How to make sub-categories in iTunes playlists

I have many playlists for separating certain types of music, like most people do. I was wondering if there is a way to place sub-categories in playlists already made. For example:
iTunes>Playlists>Recently Added>10 Most Recently Added>5 Most Recently Added.
I would like to be able to view/listen to the originated playlist; i.e. "Recently Added" which contains all the sub-playlists; i.e. "10 Most Recently Added" and "5 Most Recently Added" but also be able to access the sub-playlists within the original playlist and listen to solely the songs within the sub-category.
Basically, is there a way to put a playlist within a playlist without having to use and edit auto-updating smart playlists manually?

You can't make a playlist inside a playlist. You can nest playlists inside of folders and if you click on the folder it will show a summation of all the playlists contained in it.

Entire iTunes Playlist Missing

Hi,
My entire iTunes playlist is missing. All that's inside my iTunes music folder is displayed here.
What happened?

Reinstalling iTunes won't fix rhis type of problem. At a guess the Temp File.tmp contains a (possibly) partial version of the library.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
The image above is for Windows but should give the idea. Libraries created by older versions of iTunes on a Mac don't use the .itl file extension. Your screenshot doesn't show it, so don't add it to the file you copy & rename.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.

Iphone 4 not showing playlist correctly :( (compared to itunes playlist)

Hey apples
When i sync my itunes playlist to my iphone 4, it syncs correctly, just to clarify that (at least, somewhat correct). However, since the IOS 5 update, my Iphone playlist is not showing all the music it's supposed to compared to the itunes playlist.
I have double checked my itunes library, and it's fine there, but once i enter the Ipod app (or music app as they call it now....) it doesnt show all the recent tracks i added to the library. Funny thing is, they were there before the IOS 5 update....
All the songs that are missing in the playlist (but are there in the very same itunes playlist!) ARE on the iphone, as i checked that too a few times.
I could just make a new playlist and sync it, that should work, but i really want to know why it happened, since it might happen again next time i update.
Is IOS 5 buggy or *** is wrong ?
PS: Using itunes 10.5 on windows 7 64 bit
Best Regards
Seehuusen

I have exactly the same problem. Some songs are missing and the order of the songs is different, unless I sort by song name on itunes.

How do I setup itunes playlists to listen over my Sonos system?

How do I setup itunes playlists to listen over my Sonos system?

Drag the items in the playlist to a flash drive open in Finder. It will copy the files to the drive. The files will likely then play by file name order. If you want it more structured you will have to read the documentation for your cars player on creating a playlist as this varies by each model player. Alternatively you can manually rename the files so they are alphabetically ordered in the desired order (usually adding a number to the start of the file name [not the track name in iTunes but the file name in Finder] works best).
Not all players will play AAC format files as is standard for iTunes Store music. If you encounter this issue you will have to convert the files to mp3.

ITunes playlist order sync help?

Okay, so I have my music in my playlist setup to organize my music by the date they were added. New music I add is always at the top of the playlist. When I use to sync my iPhone it would be in that order on my phone too, newest songs that were added were on top. I upgraded to iOS 5 now my playlist on my phone are in alphabetical order. On iTunes it is still in the order I would like it to be. Does anyone know how I could fix this? It's not really a big deal but I prefer the way it is on iTunes. I was working before and I just want it to be like that now..
Thanks in advance.

For a Most Recently Added Playlist for music on iPhone 4, iOS 5.0, iTunes 10.5 (141), Here's what worked for me after lots of experimenting:
To Create a "100 Newest" playlist:
1. In iTunes, delete any previous 'X Newest" playlists if they've not been syncing correctly since iOS 5 update, especially if they have referenced other playlists. In my experience if these playlists are not syncing in the correct order, there is nothing you can do to make them sync in the correct order - cut your losses and delete.
2. In iTunes under 'Library' in the sidebar, select 'Music"
3. From the 'File' menu select 'New Smart Playlist'
4. In the pop up box that appears, check 'Match the following rule:'
5. In the next line, in the pop-up menus, select the following: 'Media Kind', 'is', 'Music'
6. Check the "Limit to" checkbox and enter the '100' in the box, and then select the follwing option in succeeding popup lists: 'items', selected by 'most recently added'
7.You may check either or both of the options 'Match only checked items' and 'Live updating' - in my experiments these had no effect.
8. Click 'OK' and name your smartlst '100 Newest' or anything you'd like.
Here's something to note:
In your iTunes 'Music Library', the sort order is newest song at the top of your library when the LIBRARY is sorted by 'Date Added' and the small triangle has it's apex pointing down. To me this means the LATEST song is on top.
In your '100 Newest' playlist, to sort so the newest song is at the top of the playlist when the PLAYLIST is sorted by 'Date Added' , you'll note the triangle is oriented with the apex pointing up. To me this signifies the 'YOUNGEST ADDED' song is on the top.
However you view those two items, it's interesting that you'd expect the sort order might be reversed according to the triangle orientations, but it's not. And that's one of the sorting problems I had with syncing my playlists - newest were on the bottom on my iPhone playlist, but on the top in the playlist in my iTunes Library. Certainly not a consistant user interface.
Also note that if you've used a previous hint in referencing a dated order playlist to avoid a previous iTunes playlist syncing bug, those lists now won't sort properly any longer. As I said - cut your losses and start anew.
Hope this helps someone else. It took me a long time to get right.

ITunes playlist from iTunes U media?

Is there a way to make an iTunes playlist from the media in one of my Collections?

I would first change the itunes media folder location from the default location to where the music is located, that's in preferences> Advanced. I would also uncheck keep itunes media folder organized and copy files to media folder when adding (temporarily)
Now I would import the playlists. Itunes will know where the music files are location and they will play.
