[All Platforms][Playlists] Adding multiple songs to 1 or more playlists...

Being able to select multiple songs at a time and then able to add them to a desired playlist/s after that would save an enormous amount of time..especially after saving over 100 songs before sorting them out.

Selecting or de-selecting multiple songs in check boxes in playlist

What's the trick for selecting or de-selecting multiple songs via check boxes in playlists, etc.?
Figured this would be an easy one to figure out on my own, but here i am a few years later...
Be easy on me, now.

just select all the songs you want to check-uncheck and then control click (or right click) and select check-uncheck selection.
hope this helps.

From my music how do i move multiple songs at once to a playlist

Your issue has nothing to do with Apple networking. You may get better results in getting a solution if your post your issue to the iTunes area of the Apple Support Communities.

Playlist Add - Multiple Songs at the Same Time

HI,I have gone to Spotify.com and downloaded it to my Macbook and I have tried to do what you say worked for you but it doesn't for me.When I press Control + click I still can't select more than one song to move to the playlist.Maybe I don't understand what the difference is between "the program" you mention and the download of Spotify I did, what I see on my Macbook is my Spotify account with all my music, playlists, etc. that is where I'm trying to do this solution and it doesn't work.Thanks.

Hello MichaelW,
First off thank you for your feedback as it worked as expected. However, I wanted to clarify that your feedback is for the Spotify Program. If a person is using the web play version, as I was, the multiple selection criteria you described does not work. Which I did not know when this question was posted.
Just an FYI, you can also do a select all using CTRL + A, Right Click, then add to the playlist you want.
To download the program go to spotify.com and download it from the main page. The link is right on the middle of the page and you cannot miss it.

Adding multiple songs to iTunes from the Finder

The way I usually add songs to iTunes is to select multiple songs at once from the Finder and then add them all to iTunes. Now in Lion when I have two or more items selected it only adds and opens one of them instead of copying all of them to the iTunes folder. How do I add them all from the Finder into iTunes to save me some time.
Also the default file opener for .m4a, .mp3 etc. was changed to Audacity for no reason when I upgraded to Lion. I had to manually change it back to iTunes.

Can you do it the other way?
Open iTunes and on the File menu is Add to Library where you can choose which ones to import.

Colin R.

Adding multiple songs

I want to burn an iPhoto slideshow and use 4 songs. It seems that iDVD will only one song. Is there a workaround?

Good suggestion... Other options include bringing your still photos into iMovie and adding your songs there (can make nice fadeouts/ins). iDVD can do slideshows with 99 pictures or less. If you have an audio editing program, you can copy/paste your songs together, and import the "new" song into iTunes (so you fool iTunes into thinking it's only one song).
If you have Quicktime Pro ($30), you can Export/Share your iPhoto slideshow as a Quicktime movie, then use Quicktime to open each song you want to use, copy it, and Add to the iPhoto/Quicktime slideshow. Repeat this step until all the slideshow has audio. Roxio Toast ($80) also includes a nice slideshow function.

Adding multiple songs to a slideshow in Iphoto......

I know how to add a song to a picture slide show in iPhoto. But how do I add lets say several songs to one big slide show? I was asked to do it as a favor for a friend because it is her birthday. I am gonna do one song for her early years than as she gets older switch it to another song, etc......But how can I do it on one big file? It is gonna go on a dvd or cd and be played at a birthday party and I would like to be able to pop it in and not have to change the cd or have to press any buttons on the dvd player.
Thanks for the help and sorry if the question is confusing....

Create a playlist for the slideshow in iTunes. Then in the slideshow settings, select the entire playlist rather than any individual song. If you can't see your playlists in the box, then you need to look for the little dot (or dimple) and drag it to open the window wider.
For screenshots that beautifully illustrate the process, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2237291 and follow the links in lori_diloretto's last post.
While the iPhoto slideshow is the easiest to create, the timing of the songs during play of the iPhoto slideshow is imprecise, especially when you export the slideshow to QuickTime or iDVD (for burning to disc). If you want to precisely match the music to the slides, you may wish to import your slideshow album into iMovie (use the Media Pane in iMovie, locate the album, and simply drag it into the iMovie project), then manipulate the music track from there. When done, launch iDVD, create a new project, and import the iMovie project. You can customize your DVD menu(s) and burn the movie to DVD.
Regards.

Adding multiple songs to a single slideshow in LR3

Hello!
So, I am trying to create a slideshow in Lightroom 3.4.1. I'm on a mac, and have been able to succesfully pull in a single song from my iTunes library. However, there are two issues:
1. My slideshow is a bit long, and I would like to have 2-3 songs play during it. However, lightroom will only let me import one song. I even created a playlist in iTunes, then tried to import the whole playlist, but again, it would not let me. I could only import one song
2. Some of my music in iTunes can be imported, but about 70% of my library is 'gray'--or not clickable. I can't figure out why some of my songs can be imported and some cannot.
Thanks for any help!

You can't use more than one song. If you want to, you'll have to use a tool to splice them together into a single file.
You can't use DRM-infected music in LR.

Is there NO way to select multiple songs to go into a Music Playlist at once, vs doing it one by one?!

Argh. So irritating how something that should be very simple and intuitive results in useless calls to Sprint (my carrier) and BB. with endless holds, transfers, pasing the buck,and still no results. Then I'm suggested to go to the Forums...you know...where other paying BB customers can try tp provide the IT support that BB apparetnly could care less to do for its paying customers?
Anyway, I want to have multiple playlists in my BB Music so that when I host parties, I can play a particular type of music by selecting one of the playlists. I was able to move songs to my BB but they only seem to move to the general Music Library (All Songs). I was able to create Playlists, but it seems you can only move songs to the Playlist ONE AT A TIME. There is apparently no way to select multiple songs to go to a playlist? No way to move an entire folder of music from my PC to my BB songs, as its own separate sub-folder (i.e., Playlist)?
I know I've been able to do this with other devices in the past.
Otherwise the BB Music Playlist options seems totally pointless.

Only a few songs show up in a playlist on my iPhone, even though all of the songs in the playlist are on my phone. How do I fix this?

I uploaded a playlist onto my iPhone. After going into Music, and into the specific playlist, only one song showed up in the playlist. After that, I decided to search my phone to see if any of the other songs had made it on there. All of the songs that were supposed to be on my playlist made it onto my phone. Why are they not showing up in my playlist if they are on the phone? Please help me!

Are you sure you have selected the PL? I too have had problems and then finally fiogured out which path to select to see the tunes. For some reason the PL got moved to a deeper level.

Creative Media Source - Problem adding a song to playl

I created playlists for my Zen Vision M using Creative Media Source. I did not use the PC Library but rather used the player as the source and created play lists. I have successfully added songs to the playlists over the past several months. Yesterday when I added a song, it replaced the entire playlist with the one song that I was adding. I tested several more times by creating new playlists and the same thing happened.
I can accomplish the same thing using the explorer but prefer Creative Media Source. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any advice?Thanks. Jay

Try download and install the latest MediaSource 5.0.38 and the MediaSource plugin of your ZEN Vision:M. Creative MediaSource 5 and its various plugins are now officially available for download at your respecti've product download sites. The main Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer:

[Playlists] Suggest similar songs for my playlist to add

Create a feature that recommends songs to add to the playlist as the user builds it.
I only created an account so I could submit this idea because I think it could be a really good feature for a service that's started putting itself into the "Discover Music" category. I love the new Discover Weekly playlists and I think you've really got a good algorithm or something to recommend music to your users that really fits what we want to listen to.
So here's my idea. A couple months ago, my family and I were taking a long road trip for vacation. Naturally, I decided to create a road trip playlist to last the long road trip. At first I just started throwing in songs that I thought I would enjoy most on the road but after a while, it became slightly harder for me to decide what to add to my playlist. Anyways, I thought it might be cool if you create a feature that recommends songs to add to the playlist as the user builds it. Imagine, if you will, that after you initially add 5 to 10 songs to the playlist you're creating, a feature appears on the screen with suggestions on music to add to the playlist based on what you've already added. Of course, as you add more the sugestions would be more in sync with the sound you're going for.
I think if a feature like this were to be added, I would enjoy putting together more playlists; a playlist for studying, for driving, Christmas music, Summer music, whatever. Everyone would be like "Woah, your playlist is on point" and I'd give credit to Spotify for being the best playlist collaborator a guy could ask for. Maybe, this idea has already been suggested but maybe it hasn't and I'm awesome for coming with such an awesome idea. Think about it, Spotify peeps, and get back to me on whether you think it's a great idea or not.

Updated: 2015-08-06Marked as new idea and edited the title slightly to make it easier to find via search. ;)
This idea is a re-post of this inactive idea.

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!

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 one with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones! I am using the "new" iTunes.

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."

[All Platforms][Playlists] Play count and play history for songs to create personal charts

Hi guys, I switched from iTunes to Spotify about a year ago and I really do like the service. Lately I checked out Apple Music and in comparison Spotify still kicks ass. However, it was incredible to have access to all of my old iTunes playlists again. Why? Because I created playlists with my personal charts, meaning intelligent playlists which sort songs by play count. I would love to see this feature in Spotify. Additionally you could also track when a song has been played, so I could create a playlist which lists my favorite songs from a specific time frame. Best wishesDominik

Sup man! I made the switch from iTunes about 3 years ago, but I have never gone back. Especially since I have a $5 / mo deal for Spotify premium for students, so premium is sick to use on the computer and transfer music painlessly to your electronic device. Cool stuff. Also, the algorithms that Spotify employs have unique shuffling programs implemented internally. They get numerous complaints about similar songs/artists playing in close sequence to one another. When this would happen (the original random number generator would obviously play the same artist within 3-4 songs because of pure chance and logistics), so they implemented a different algorithm as a fix. The new algorithm implemented a fix for this complaint (which was considered to be along the lines of the gambler’s fallacy theory… but that’s another long explanations) so that people wouldn’t complain as much. This switch happened within the past year, so people are just starting to notice how the shuffle feature has “improved”. This whole thing brings on the discussion of “what truly is random?” when it comes to the world of random number generators and the gambler’s fallacy. If you want to check out my Spotify playlists, my acct is: chrisheishman and my most popular playlist actually is “acoustic indie mix” with about 400+ songs and 200+ followers. You should check it out! Cheers & good luck with your music journey! Chris

[All Platforms][Playlists] Option to see popular playlists a song appears on

I really would love to see the ability to right click on a song and see which public playlists it appears on. After listening to the radio for on of my genres for a couple of days I'm tired of spotify's suggestions and would like to see what other people think as far as what songs are similar to the selected song.
