Creating SUB-PLAYLIST

I've asked this b4, but no one responded...so I'll try to ask this again:
Is there any programs available, that will enable my ipod to create "sub-playlist"?
instead of this:
LOVE SONGS (MALE)
LOVE SONGS (FEMALE)
LOVE SONGS (BAND)
ALTERNATIVE (GROUP)
ALTERNATIVE (MALE)
ALTERNATIVE (FEMALE)
it will be MORE pleasant to see this:
LOVE SONGS > MALE
FEMALE
GROUP
ALTERNATIVE > GROUP
MALE
FEMALE
I don't know if its just me being "demanding"...But I think it'll just be a SIMPLE program update to enable this....I wonder why Apple didn't thought about this...or maybe they did...they just want to include features "one by one" for each NEW IPOD.....

I suppose you, but the way that I am thinking of doing this would require something radical... you could rename your songs, artists, and album in such a way that you could go this way. Perhaps, keep the names of the songs, but you would give up the artist and album to do so. Of course, to retain the artist and album, you could embed this in the title of the song. This is a lot of work and I am not sure if you want to go through all of that, but it would let you do what you are asking. If there is a better, then I hope someone more intelligent than will post. Best of luck to you!

  • Creating "Sub-Playlists"

    Does anyone know if it is possible to create a playlist that when selected, opens a list of other playlists, similar to how you can have folders and sub-folders in Windows? A few months ago I downloaded a Spanish translator from CoolGorilla.com, and they managed to do something similar. You would go into the "Notes" section, select a subject, then a more refined subject, and then finally a phrase, which would then open an audio file of a spanish-speaking lady repeating the phrase over and over. Please respond. Thanks.

    I'll be honest, you lost me with the Spanish translator from CoolGorilla.com, Ryno JvR, but, for what it's worth, you can put your playlists into folders in iTunes and put folders into other folders.
    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it solves your problem.

  • How to create sub playlist?

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to create a playlist with children playlists?
    I'm having a lot of different playlist and I would like to organize the playslit in hierarchies.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    I'm using iTunes 6.0.5.20

    You can organize playlist into folders, Just goto file>New Folder, type the name of the folder you want, then drag and drop playlist into the folder

  • 2 ipods , 1 itunes, "sub" playlists

    Hi All,
    I have been reading through the discussions and I have figured out that if I want 2 ipods off one Itunes I just creat 2 playlists for each person. However can I then create "sub" playlists within these folders? Or do I have to just choose by album, genre etc??
    Thanks

    Hi Charlotte,
    No, iTunes does not allow you to create "sub" playlists. What you can do (with iTunes 5), is create folders to group several lists, but they will not appear on your iPod.
    The other thing you can do is select more than one playlist for each iPod. Go to: Edit->Preferences->iPod and choose "sync checked playlists only" instead of "sync all". Then check all those lists you want on that iPod.

  • 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.

  • When adding folders to iTunes 11, they don't show up in the library.  On one folder add, it created a playlist (not what I wanted).  On the second folder, it shows nothing.  Never seen this before.  Advice?

    I added my first folder of MP3s and it created a playlist, but didn't show up in the library.  When adding a second folder, it didn't show up anywhere.  I can do a search for them in the search window, and it finds/plays them, but I want to be able to browse them in my library.  These are not MP3s downloaded from iTunes, but are personal files located on my hard drive.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Dell that's running Windows XP. I have found that itunes is very temperamental. this works most of the time... except on my son's computer that's running Windows Vista.
    Go to your library in iTunes. Then go up to file and try one of the options (import, add folder to library, or add file to library).
    Adding a folder is the least work. You can add all the files from a folder with one click... if it works. Remember that itunes is temperamental.
    If that doesn't work, try adding a file. The problem with that is that you have to go through the whole process for each and every file (song, movie, etc).
    Sometimes the only thing that works is to import.
    I haven't gotten iTunes to work on my son's computer (Windows Vista).
    I can't get support from apple in any way at all! They are good about creating electronics that appeal to us But they are lousy at support. If anyone figures out how to access support (where you can actually contact Apple) please let me know ([email protected]). I've been trying for 6 months.

  • Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7?

    Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7? I want to be able to hear a song in my collection and immediately add it to an existing playlist or create a new playlist.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Cornellius,
    From the now playing screen there's a Create button at the bottom that allows you to create a
    Genius Playlist
    New Station form Artist
    New Station from Song

    The Now Playing screen provides playback controls and shows you what’s playing.
    For information on Genius Playlists, see

    I don't see an option to add it to an existing playlist.

  • When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the playlist transfers over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.

    When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the songs on the playlist transfer over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.  For example, in itunes on my computer a playlist has over 100 songs, but when I sync my phone, my iphone only shows 60 songs.  I can go into my phone and add the missing songs to the playlist, but the next time I sync my phone the songs are gone again.

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
    Here's that thread...

  • HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

  • Unable to create sub site after setting up site subscription in Sharepoint Foundation 2013

    Hi, All,
    I have set up sit subscription in to the sharepoint. I have a Site collection which is assign to specific tenant group. I have assign sevral custom features to the tenant group. What happening now is, when I am creating a sub site, it throws an error that
    specific feature(e.g CustomList feature) is not available. So I added that feature definition to tenant group. Again I tried to create sub site. Now it shows error that specific feature(this time it shows AnnouncementList feature) is not available. So I added
    that feature too. Now its showing me these kinds of error continuously.
    So what required is I need to add all the default features to my tenant group. Do you have idea how can I add those feature by single command instead of I add it to the tenant group one by one ?
    Thanks.
    Your help is appreciated.

    You can use Powershell to create a Feature Pack that will add multiple features to a tenant group.  Here's one for the default Foundation Features.

  • I have a generation 5 Nano iPod. I have created Genius playlists  and want to sync them to my iPod. How do I do this, as they are not shown in my library when syncing my music.

    I have a generation 5 Nano iPod. I have created suggested playlists from the iTunes store using Genius. I want to move these playlists into the playlists in my library so they can be synced to my iPod. I don't seem to be able to do this, and can only listen to these Genius playlists on my computer. How do I transfer these?

    On a 5th gen nano, you can actually create and listen to Genuis playlists on the iPod.
    You can also set up automatic syncing to include Genius Playlists. 
    In iTunes, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the Genuis playlists that you create are shown under GENIUS (not PLAYLISTS).
    If you use automatic syncing, you set up the iPod's Music screen in iTunes (where the Sync Music checkbox is located).  Genius playlists are shown on the iPod's Music screen, under Playlists, where you can select (checkmark) them as items to be synced to the iPod and maintained by iTunes.
    If you use the manual method (with the Manually manage music and videos setting), there is no way to include the actual Genius playlists.  However, you can create a new playlist manually on the iPod using iTunes.  Then, drag the songs from a Genius playlist to that playlist on the iPod.

  • I need to create a playlist and don't want the same songs in my everyday playlist.

    I'm new to Mac and Need to create a playlist on my itunes like a holiday playlist which I have, but I don't want the same music in my everyday playlist.  How do I do this.  I thought I did my draging the music to that playlist but they are still showing up and playing in my playlist.  thanks for the help

    Yes yes indeed,
    OMG,
    I finally got it off,
    I called IT Support
    and this guy saw where it had doubled the size during the encryption, and showed me how to go in and delete,
    and I was able to finally turn it off,
    although it took 3 hours to do so.
    but worth it.
    so never will I again listen to anyone about that,
    I'm done with the encryption of my machine.
    I wasted a trip going to the Apple Store,
    thank you.

  • Can i create a playlist of tv shows on my iPad?

  • Creating a playlist on the ZEN Style M100/300 using WinAmp

    On WinAMP's left panel, right-click on "Playlists". Select "New Playlist...", then enter your playlist name.
    2) Select the songs you wish to add to the playlist, drag & drop them into the playlist name you've just created.
    3) Right-click on the playlist title example "John's Birthday Demo",select "Send to" ---> "USB Dri've H:" (assuming H: is your device dri've leter assigned to the player). The playlist and the songs listed in your playlist will be transfered into the ZEN Style M series player?
    4) Safely disconnect your player from the Windows system ,then disconnect your player from the USB cable. The player hourglass icon will appear and spin for a while, this is to generate and update the player's memory since new contents are added. Once the process has completed, scroll to "Music" --> "Playlist" then select your newly added playlist title to play.
    Note: Please make sure that you have already loaded the songs into the MUSIC folder of the ZEN Style M series player before creating the playlist.

  • I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago.  How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

    Hello there,
    I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3.  I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself.  The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod).  I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs).  Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync?  Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
    Thanks for any help you can give.  Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

    The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
