Can I create Composer sub-playlists in Classical Music?

I made the terrible mistake of upgrading to itunes 11. I've managed to mostly get it the way I want it with the exception of my Classical Music. In itunes 10 I had playlists for each composer under the Classical Music heading, which was the easiest way to sort things. Now I just have a list of tracks by composer, and it's impossible to navigate. I can't figure out a way to change this, and am thinking about reinstalling 10.7, but that looks painfully difficult - does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Use MetaZ to tag the files as TV Shows and the correct series and all other info.

  • Is it possible to create a "sub" playlist within another?

    Hello,
    For example, can you create a U2 playlist?...and then within that, create playlists for their albums?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I don't think you can do a "sub" playlist. But you can do some pretty tricky things with smart playlists. You can create a non-smart U2 playlist, and then do smart playlists based on your original U2 playlist.
    Do this: make a non-smart playlist called "allU2".
    Browse (click on the eyeball in the upper right) your way to U2, then select all those songs, drag 'em to your "allU2" playlist. You now have a regular playlist with all of your U2 in it.
    Now make a smart playlist called "Achtung Baby" or whatever album you want.
    When you're creating your smart playlist you wanna do this:
    checkmark "match all of the following"
    ->Playlist ->Contains ->allU2 (then click the "+" sign to add another rule)
    ->Album ->Contains ->Achtung Baby
    That's how you would make a "sub" playlist based on a playlist, but really that was just an exercise in making playlists. In order to create a playlist to listen to specific albums, you don't even need to mess with multiple playlists. Just do this: create a smart playlist title "achtung baby":
    "match all of the following"
    ->artist ->contains ->U2
    ->album ->contains ->achtung baby
    Or forget the "artist" line and have just this in your smart playlist:
    ->album ->contains ->achtung baby
    OR, (lemmee see how long I can ramble on here), you could forgo the entire playlist trip and listen to albums through "Browse". Click Browse. In the Artists column scroll down to U2. You'll get a list of all your U2 albums in the righthand column and a list of all your U2 songs below. In albums click on whatever album you want. The songs list will only show songs from whatever album you clicked. You can play just those songs.
    Or open-apple click on multiple albums to highlight multiple albums. You can then listen to U2 songs from multiple albums.
    I love fiddling around with playlists.
    One of my favorite smart playlists (I'm listening to it right now):
    smart playlist titled "5* not played 1 week":
    Match ->all of the following:
    ->Last played ->is not in the last ->1 ->weeks
    ->My rating ->is ->***
    down below click a checkmark next to: Live Updating
    That playlist only plays songs that are 5 stars that I haven't listened to in the last week.
    Good luck and have fun! If you have any questions about playlists, post 'em here and I'll be more than happy to help you out.

  • How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder?

    How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder? I have many similar documents that I want to group together. This will also un-clutter my Documents folder.

    Also, you can add a New Folder button to the Finder's toolbar by opening Finder, going to the View menu in the menubar, selecting Customize Toolbar..., and dragging the New Folder icon to the toolbar in the Finder window. Then it's just one-click for new folders wherever you want them.

  • How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums?

    Hi,
    How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums? (of a specific genre, say jazz)
    What I would like to do is to have a playlist that will always automatically pull the least played albums of a specific genre (ideally, but not necessarily, with a random album play within that playlist) Hope you are getting the concept!
    Thank you for any idea!
    Daniel
    p.s. there have been solutions for earlier versions of iTunes, none working with iTunes 10 apparently

    As you say, you can't access the Gapless property in a smart playlist rule.
    The obvious way that comes to mind would be to create another playlist with stuff to exclude from your final list and put the gapless tracks and anything else that won't filter out easily into it.
    Yes you say but I have oodles of gapless tracks and I don't want to gather them up by hand.
    OK, so you'll need a script. Here is one I've just created for the purpose: GaplessToPlaylist

  • Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to...

    Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to play one after the other on your iPod? I want to combine podcasts of the same topic in a smart playlist. When I tried to do this I chose smart playlist, album starts with, and then did it again for each podcast I wanted. That didn't work. If it can be done how do you do it?
    I have a fifth generation iPod which is always updated to the latest as well as the itunes.

    Say for example I want to put different car related podcasts in one smart playlist. Car related podcasts such as Wall Street Journal Car Cast and NPR Car Talk. Can it be done and if so how?

  • HT201441 how can i create and audio cd from a music track I have on my ipod

    how can i create and audio cd from a music track I have on my ipod

    This is how:
    Go to:
    'File'
    'Share'
    'Quicktime'
    'Expert Settings'
    'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
    Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
    Enjoy!
    P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

  • How to create subdirectories in playlist, ipod classic

    I am not familiar how to create subdirectories in Playlists in iPod Classic. Of course I have to user iTues software but I don't know how to create. Please guide me if anybody knows how to create subdirectories.
    I want like this (like windows how subdirectories are look)

    Thank you,

    To expand on that further, putting playlists within folders and/or folders within folders creates multiple levels of playlist organization. However, this only works in auto-sync mode, so if you manually manage your Classic the folder structure will not transfer over.

  • Can't create a smart playlist of podcasts in iOS 7?

    I've got to iPhone 4Ss, one on iOS 6, the other on iOS 7. On the iOS6 device, I have created a Smart Playlist that contains my podcast subscriptions for the last two weeks. This playlist is the major use of my iPhone. However, on the iOS 7 device, The Recent Podcast playlist is there in the Music app, but it is empty. Is iOS 7 forcing me to listen to podcasts only through the useless Podcasts app?

  • Siri can't create a genius playlist?

    I have an iPhone 5S on Verizon with iOS 7.0.4.
    Whenever I ask Siri to create a genius playlist based on the current song, it doesn't work. I'll ask Siri to "Play more songs like this" or "genius" and Siri will say that it is playing more songs like the current song, but it never creates the genius list. If I manually create the playlist via the Music app, I don't have a problem. Anyone else have this problem too? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Chaiya

    I've had the same problem since having my 4S on AT&T and now on my 5. Siri responds with "playing similar songs" but the previous playlist or shuffle keeps going. This used to work but I'm not sure which iOS update broke it.

  • Can I create a separate Library for specific music?

    I've created a Playlist for Christmas music which works just fine but I don't want it in general rotation (we use Shuffle a lot). Can I create a separate library just for that - I can't seem to find any info on whether this is doable.
    Thx

    why not create a *smart playlist* that excludes genres such as "holidays" and "christmas" ?

  • Can I create a radio station using the music in my iTunes library?

    I have iTunes 12 installed on my 2014 MacBook Pro and late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook.  My husband and I share the MacBook and he wants to access my iTunes library because his is empty. 
    A friend told me that the easiest way to do this in iTunes 12 is to create a radio station using my music in my iTunes library.  My iTunes music folder is just over 35GB in size (if that's relevant).  Almost all of the music (>95%) is from my CDs that I've copied into iTunes over the years.
    I would be really grateful if someone could tell me how I go about doing this because I'm afraid that I haven't been able to find any instructions on just how I go about this.
    Cheers
    Tricia

    Here are other ways to share your library but it only works if you're both on the same network: Enable Home Sharing under iTunes/File Menu and read the iTunes Help entry for Home Sharing for additional info. It will allow up to 5 computers on your network to play and download items from your iTunes Library. Alternatively, you can enable "Share My Library On My Local Network" under iTunes Preferences which allows up to 5 computers to play any content in your library but without the ability to download them.
    I assume you keep your iTunes Library synchronized on both computers. If you have it also on the MacBook, this Apple support document will explain how to share your iTunes Library with multiple users on the same computer. This is by far the easiest and always available without using the network.
