Auto create playlist when add folder ???

how it's possible?
when I add folder itunes autocreate a lot of playlist that i dont want !!!
i can add more music !!!

iTunes has taken to building playlists (and starting to play them) from any .m3u files it finds while importing media folders. It isn't clear yet whether this behavior is supposed to be a new "feature" or has been accidentally introduced, but importing folders that contain .m3u files may not give the results you are used to.
iTunes Folder Watch would work well if your current workflow is to have iTunes scan the media folder for new files, since it only adds the file types you want it to. However if you are specifically adding individual folders then, at least for now, you probably need to remove or edit the extention of .m3u files before importing.
On the other hand, if you don't need the playlist files then throw them away. Use the search tool in Windows Explorer to find files of the form *.m3u in your media folders, select them all with Ctrl-A and then delete.

Automatically create playlists when buying song collections

I remember that in previous versions there was a setting under Preferences/Store to the effect that when you bought an imix or another collections it would automatically create a playlist. Since this setting no longer appears in the prefs as of version 8, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a plist variable I could alter or add to re-enable this functionality.

Turning off the option - I doubt - will change the 'Purchases' list. I have it 'off' in my prefs and I still have all iTS purchases added to the 'Purchases' list.
From the iTunes Help menu and a search for "song collection": <You can set iTunes to automatically create playlists when you buy collections from the iTunes Store, such as iMixes, submitted by iTunes users; and iTunes Essentials, favorites chosen by an iTunes Store staff of experts.>

ITunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'

iTunes hangs when 'Add Folder to Mediathek'
I have iTunes installed afresh on Windows-8.1. I have added folders (interpreter\album) to the Mediathek successfully, however sometimes when I do that I get a partly displayed screen of the folders-menu, I cannot scroll or select any folder and iTunes hangs. I have to shut iTunes down using the Task-Manager, start Windows-8.1 again, then it might work alright. Has anybody any hints what to do?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hans M.

Interesting: Once I had folders (interpreter\album) existing in the folder "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" (probably from albums bought from iTunes-Store, I could copy all my own folderpairs to be added to the Mediathek into "iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\" and could add folders from there. That has the advantage to have all folderpairs in on big Music-folder for saving purposes.

How do i stop Itunes auto creating playlists and auto playing imports?

HELP NEEDED - My PC crashed so i rebuilt with Windows 7, installed the latest itunes and so far so good. I then had to import my music library, first thing i noticed which it never did before, when i import folders it will automatically create a playlist for some of those imports, it doesn't create a playlist for every folder or album only some almost as if the smart playlist option is activated...how do i stop this happening? Second, when i import a folder Itunes autoplays the first song in each folder as it imports so it may play 2 seconds of a song or it may play a full song depending on the size of the folder, very annoying and because i have around 100 GB of music to import very very frustrating.
Thanks,

The current build of iTunes (10.4.1.10) appears to have a couple of issues with M3U playlists. The first is that when you import an M3U playlist, the list is created, and any files not already in the library it are added to it, but for some reason they just don't get added to the playlist. Secondly, when adding folders to the library, iTunes is also attempting to add any M3U playlists that it finds as well as any other valid media files not already in the library. The upshot is that iTunes may create a bunch of empty playlists corresponding to any M3U files you have scattered through your folders.
Use iTunes Folder Watch to scan your media folders for new files (and also for dead tracks) to avoid the issue. This is a more effective way of importing new media than simply adding in the entire media folder over and over again.
If you already have empty playlists you are struggling to delete manually then I've written a script for just that purpose called KillEmptyPlaylists.
As and when the time comes that you do want to import an M3U playlist then I have written another script to workaround the current difficulty called ImportM3U which does just what it says. It will also convert and add any WMA files present in the list on the fly whereas iTunes would normally ignore these.

Can Auto create bookmark when insert a page?

I know that when I combine multiple PDF file, bookmarks will be automatically created with the file names. However, when I insert page into this combined document, the bookmarks did not auto create. Similarly when I delete a page from this document, the bookmark did not get updated also,
Did I miss out some steps or even version X also does not have this ability?

You can also find a button in the Customize window to toggle the bookmarks sidebar.

Apple TV locks when 'Add folder to library' on iTunes being streamed from

This problem seems consistently repeatable on my set-up. Was just wondering whether anyone else has experienced this problem.
Apple TV is playing music streamed, screen saver may or may not be active. I then copy new music folders into my iTunes music directory and then select 'Add folder to library' on iTunes and select my music directory. iTunes updates correctly and I can then edit/play/add artwork to the newly added music.
However, back on the Apple TV, the music continues to play but the playback position no longer updates although the animated swinging from side to side every so often still works or if the screen saver is active it continues as normal. The Apple TV no longer responds to the remote control. I have left then music playing before and it continues until it has no more music to play, e.g. got to end of album.
I have found only one way out, which does not always work (I sometimes have to remove power from the Apple TV to reset it). If I close down iTunes, after a number of seconds (5 to 15 usually) the Apple TV pops up a button asking to reconnect to sources. I can then restart iTunes and the Apple TV reconnects and I can select what I want to do.

You'll probably have better luck asking the question here -> Windows EightForums
iTunes isn't designed to work with Windows 8 or any beta software, so theres no suprise that it isn't working as expected.

Playlist: Creating playlist using folder names (auto)

Is there a way to auto-create playlists using existing folder names? I have about 90-100 folders that I had created over the years; manually creating playlist for each folder would be a pain. I am looking for a way to auto create these playlists while iTunes is importing my folders (or otherwise). Any advice highly appreciated.

iTunes alone has no way to do that. You will need a 3rd party folder watching program.

Auto Create Shuffled Playlist?

I've just bought an iPod Shuffle (3G) and love it, and I like how when I tell it to sync my entire music library (60GB) it automatically picks 4GB of music at random and adds it to a shuffled playlist which it then syncs. Unfortunately, I deleted the 'auto shuffled' playlist when adding some other playlists I'd created. Now I want to fill up the remaining space with songs picked at random - is there any way to have iTunes re-create one of these auto shuffled playlists? Or do I just have to grab a selection from my library and drag it across?

Select tracks, use CTRL-I to Get. Info., on Options tab set Media Kind to Audiobook, create a blank playlist, drag the tracks in.

ITunes creating playlist automatically whrn importing music

Itunes 10.4 in two computers (OSX and Windows XP) creates playlists when importing folders into the library, and autoplays them. Never happened before. ¿Any solution?

I did find a workaround. Itunes Folder Watch.will add folders without playlists. I deleted all the items and unwanted playlists in my itunes library, closed itunes, deleted the shortcuts to itunes and replaced them with shortcuts to itunes Folder Watch. Then I started up itunesFolder Watch, which reopens itunes. I selected my media folder and then Folder Watch made a list of the items under "new tracks", I clicked "add tracks to itunes" and added all the items. It took a long time, but now it only takes a minute to check for new tracks. There is a bug where it keeps thinking that about a dozen John Haitt albums are new tracks even though though they have already been loaded. Other than that, it solves the problem.
When I hear that Steve Jobs was very demanding and had to make his programmers go back to the drawing board over and over again, I wonder if it was because his programmers did such a lousy job they deserved to be yelled at or if they actually did it right the first time but Steve Jobs had no idea what he was putting the users thru as he kept telling them to add brilliant ideas that didn't make any sense in the real world. Some how I don't think its the programmers fault. It isn't just itunes. I always find these weird problems whenever I get desparate enough to use apple products. For example, I haven't been able to figure out how to listen to podcasts on an mp3 player without using apple, and there is no way to get it to play a list of podcasts. It only plays them 1 at time. I spent hours on the phone with Apple and the only thing they could tell me was to make a movie of the podcasts everytime there is a new podcast, which is a royal pain in the ***. I am not going to do it. The very idea is absurd.
I'm absolutely sure there is no technical reason why these things can't be done, so it seems like there must be some reason why it makes more money for apple to do it completely the wrong way, users be damned, You know, like any Microsoft Product. So when I read in the media how Apple made gadgets easy to use, I don't understand how that could be true. Gadgets are generally NOT easy to use and there is no reason for it.They could easily be easy to use but the people in management have no imagination and the programmers got tired of explaining to them how their instructions don't make any sense and just gave up even trying to make itunes easy to use. I don't know a whole lot about Apple so I could easily be wrong about all that, but thats my guess.

ITunes Store preferences in iTunes-create playlists

In the preferences for the iTunes Store, there is an option to automatically create playlists when buying song collections. How does this work? I don't ever see iTunes create a playlist when I buy songs/albums.

Turning off the option - I doubt - will change the 'Purchases' list. I have it 'off' in my prefs and I still have all iTS purchases added to the 'Purchases' list.

Create Playlist folder without auto-sync.

Hello everyone. Here is the situation:
I have iPod touch and I'm using two my own computers (and this computers are in different cities) to transfer music to iPod.
Because of this I had to turn off auto-sync feature so I could transfer music without losing it from iPod.
Anyway, I have a lot of music and I like everything to be organized, so the playlist feature is for me.
But. I also have a lot of playlists, during my first ever connection to PC I was able to put some of these playlists into playlist folder (because auto-sync was on).
I find it very useful. But when I connected to another PC, being forced to turn off auto-sync, I discovered the unpleasant thing - I couldn't create playlist folders anymore.
Is there a way to overcome this? Is there a way to turn on auto-sync - so I could create playlist folders - without losing those tracks that are not in iTunes but are in iPod?
Thank you in advance. Cheers.

Thank you for your answer. Still. I see no logical reason for that restriction, I mean, playlist folder isn't such a big (but very convenient) deal to make it available for manual "syncers". I feel like a criminal using manual music management: so many restrictions. =(
Well, I guess the only thing I can do is get them transfering (iPod2PC) software to copy all the music from iPod on my often used computer and turn auto sync on then.

Is there a way (or free tool/plug-in) to create a playlist from a folder?

Thanks for reading.
I waste a lot of time creating playlists for mp3s that are already in separate folders, sorted the way I want them to appear in the playlist.
Is it possible to simply drag or otherwise move folders to iTunes (latest version) and have them appear as playlists? When moving audio lessons to the iPod it is very time consuming.

+Why do you have 300 playlists?+
Because I have audio lessons, sets of mp3s that belong together (one playlist each).
+There's no need for playlists for each album or artist.+
+You can already select individual albums or artists.+
Not music, doesn't apply here.
+Just drag the folder to the word Playlist. iTunes will create a new playlist with the folder name and add the contents of that folder to this new playlist.+
+No need to make a playlist first.+
That's true, though I still need the script. Because if I drag more than one folder at a time (otherwise too time consuming) they will all be dropped into one playlist, with the name of the first folder.
No problem though, the srcipts work great.

When adding music it creates playlist

Whenever I click "add folder to library" I choose a folder, in this case "my music" because it has hundreds of artists in it. And I click "add", then it starts creating a playlist for every artists in the folder. I have had iTunes for years and this is the first time it has done this. I have made sure that "library" is highlighted when I selected "add folder to library". Does anyone else have this problem?

iTunes recently started importing m3u files when scanning folders for media. My guess is that somewhere you've created some m3u artist playlists with another application and that iTunes is adding them in when you get it to scan the entire media folder. Use iTunes Folder Watch instead.
See my script KillTopLevelPlaylists for a tool to tidy up...
