Filling in playlists

This is a problem and a proposed solution. When I want to add songs to my playlists it is a fairly difficult process because I don't know what my choices are and what I already have in the list. Similar to the way the iTunes store has a view of your previously purchased songs, it would be nice if I could see a view of my playlist including all the songs in my library. The library songs not in my playlist would be grayed out and I could easily add them to my playlist in-place which would cause the selection to immediately un-grayed showing that they are now part of the playlist.
This feature would really save a lot of time for me.

With Acrobat forms all fields should have uniquely named fields unless you want them to share many of the same properties like the "value" of the field.
Have you reviewed any material about creating forms with Acrobat?

  • Does making Folders filled with Playlists Bog down your computer?

    Hi,
    I have just finished uploading my entire CD collection to iTunes (6.0.3) and would like to make many, many playlists (500+). I don't want to scroll thru all of these to find a specific playlist. So I want to make some general folders (ie-Road songs, Workout songs, Love mix, etc...) I am also concerned that if I have 50 Folders filled with 5-10 playlists, that it will bog down my system. Has anyone experienced this? Has anyone experienced other issues by doing this? Any comments or would be suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I do not understand.  Is it filling a playlist from the songs in a different playlist?

  • [Desktop] Playlist Cover Designer

    Because of this idea -> https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Customization-of-playlists-cover-and-description-box/idi-p/211048 being under consideration, I made this new idea that would be a good addition if the idea of customizing playlist covers is implemented. If you can soon upload your own playlist cover, it would be a great thing to use a lot of editing tools to make the best cover but not everyone knows how to do it. So, Spotify should create a Playlist Cover Designer app that helps people easily create playlists covers like a pro with Spotify helping them get alot of backgrounds, fonts and editing features that would make it unique without even getting the problem of copyright infringement (if you use a photo that is not yours) and it's free! This feature is a much need because some people might use the basic Paint app on windows that might make Spotify playlists look like ... (you know what it looks like when you edit on paint, I can't explain). The simple playlists covers edited through Paint and uploaded to Spotify might make Spotify's quality down.

    Spotify is making a SOCIAL music streaming platform. This idea is about making a playlist cover designer app that helps people make their playlists look better and have more followers. If the idea of Customizing the playlist covers is implemented, this is a good thing because EVERYONE will have the ability to design their own playlists easily, not boring and not time consuming. I hope you understand that not everyone is capable of editing this stuff like a pro. Spotify is all about playlists, because, you know that the radio function doesn't work well. If you open Spotify, it will show you Browse filled with PLAYLISTS. What if there are some people who wants to share their Playlists and the quality of their playlists are better than Spotify, and they can't get exposure because of their boring covers? It can be another product but it will be what people will see as the BIG DIFFERENCE between competitors. If Spotify did this, they will allow it's millions of users SHARE their music tastes to another level!

  • HT204406 genius not working in itunes match

    I am finding 3 problems when using Itunes Match through my apple tv - some of the artwork doesnt appear even though it is in my Itunes library; some songs occassionally stop playing prematurely; but most annoying is that genius doesnt seem to work...anyone find an answer?

    I had the sem thing happen with afew songs that used to give genius results, but now say "canot" and asks me to update Genius... even though I just did (twice to make sure).
    My Genius results used to be great, with Genius Playlists set to 50 songs it used to have a variety of artists and the songs would fit pretty well with the seed song.
    But since I update my Genius after upgrading to iTunes 9 (to get the Genius Mixes), when selecting a seed song , the 50-song Genius Playlist created seems to just select 5 or 6 artists and repeat songs from those same 5 or 6 artists to fill the playlist with. And the 5 or 6 artists it selects are definitely not as good a match to the seed song as they used to be... I have over 27k songs with over 6200 artists, it's not like Genius doesn't have enough to chose from.
    what happened?

  • Ipod shuffle and podcasts appearing before normal songs

    hi i have an ipod shuffle 1 gig and i have an odd problem..
    i subscribe to some talk podcasts and i download streamlink mp3's of other talk programs and i have an odd problem when i add them to my shuffle.
    when i have the order set as the mp3 that i downloaded to play first and the podcasts to play last.. for some reason, every time i try to play the podcasts somehow skip the # order i set when putting the files in.
    I've tried the 5 r's once already i suppose i probly did something wrong and will try it again but does anyone have any ideas what i can do to fix this problem?
    I have the latest itunes and i think i have the latest shuffle bios. I just can't figue out why it's doing this.. doesn't matter what podcast or mp3's are put in from my file list in itunes, thought that could help too.. thanks in advance.

    Hi, I already have a "normal" iPod that I sync my
    entire iTunes library with. I would like to get an
    iPod shuffle and use the auto fill from playlist
    option to put songs on it. I'm just wondering if
    this will interfere with my current iPod or does
    iTunes play nice with two iPods connected?
    IF you're using Windows, TWO iPods connected SIMULTANEOUSLY is a BAD idea. Otherwise a Shuffle will play nice with another iPod...

  • Music on iPhone... Auto Choose?

    I had a Motorola Slvr that would automatically choose songs to fit the memory space available in the phone. I know I can make my own playlist, but I enjoy the "randomness" of the auto fill option. Is there a way to auto fill a playlist, or do I just need to hope Apple will come up with something simular?

    Yup, I want it, or at least one playlist to behave like a shuffle.
    It would be nice if the auto-create playlist was a smart playlist, that when created would ask if you want to "fill free space", "fill 1/2 iphone", "Fill 1/4 iphone", "fill xxx gigs"
    I created a smart playlist that creates a 2 gig list. Not sure if this autoupdates, I hope it does.
    Put in a feedback request to have itunes creats a smart playlist to XXX size, rather than a static one.

  • ITunes deleted my entire library with no warning! :(

    It just went one day with no explanation. I had music I have uploaded from my CD collection, as well as stuff previously purchased via amazon mp3 and Zune. One day, EVERYTHING disappeared. All my carefully planned play lists were gone, and only the stuff I had purchased from iTunes remained only as a file i had to download from the iCloud? I do not have an icloud account, as I dont yet own an apple device... weird.  I have no idea what happened but its looking like I'm going to have to spend several evenings putting all the music back on from the CD's, looking for the other tracks on my hard drive, and recreating and filling my playlists (only for it to happen again?!). The tracks I had purchased via iTunes had been uploaded to iCloud but had been wiped from my hard drive and iTunes! I managed to re-download the purchased stuff (one by one which was a slow, laborious task) but it beats me how it did this without me telling it to and why?! iTunes, why are you treating people like this?! Anyone have any idea how to stop this from happening again?! If not, I may have to find a different music provider.

    Although your iTunes Library display is blank, your song files are probably still on your hard drive.
    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to find them, changing file extensions in the search as is necessary (i.e. .mp3 or .m4a.)
    If you find the files,then something is more than likely amiss with your iTunes Library files which are needed for iTunes to know the contents of Music Library and where the files that make it up are located.
    If you don't have a back-up copy of the iTunes library files, you will have to make use of this article in the Apple Knowledge Base. Although the article refers to iTunes 6, it is also applicable to iTunes 7.
    A few points to pay close attention to:
    Step 1: Quit iTunes and, to err on the side of caution, wait one minute before proceeding.
    Step 4: you are dragging the iTunes Library.itl file - you can leave iTunes Music Library.xml alone.
    Step 8: you will be renaming the file iTunes Library yyyy-mm-dd.itl to iTunes Library.itl.
    Note that this method will restore your iTunes Library to the state it was in when you upgraded to v.7. But any changes made since then (eg. songs/playlists added or changes in playcounts or comments), will not be included in the restoration.
    Presumably though, that will be an improvement over your current situation. And, if necessary, we can deal with any newer songs later.
    And one final point: If you've use this method to restore your library, make sure you create a new back-up copy of the .itl file so you're all set to repeat the procedure if the library ever disappears again.

  • Transfer music library to my laptop??

    I just purchased a new MacBook. I have a large iTunes library on my iMacG5 desktop. I want to transfer some of my library to my MacBook. I connected them using an ethernet cable and enabled file sharing on both computers. I still cannot seen to transfer songs. Please help.
    thank you

    Start on your iMAC G5
    create a folder e.g. "transfer" that can be accessed from both Macs
    Launch iTunes on your iMac
    Create a playlist that contains all songs you want to tansfer to your MacBook
    fill that playlist
    select all those tracks on that playlist by pressing Command-A
    drag the selected songs to that mentioned folder "transfer"
    all tracks should be copied to that folder "transfer"
    Switch to your MacBook
    launch iTunes
    drag that folder "transfer" onto "Library" in iTunes left column
    again all tracks will be copied
    finally delete "transfer"

  • Big library, little nano

    I need to learn the best, step-by-step way to update my 2 GB nano from my library, which is more than 2 GB. Please let me know what my preferences should be set at and how to deal w/ the playlist that's created that says my name and nano. And I don't want to accept the songs that iTunes selects to update (it offers to select my playlist). Please help me figure out the best way to do this. thanks.

    The most convenient way to deal with a library that is larger than your iPod is to sync the iPod to a specific playlist.
    1) create a new playlist in iTunes - call it iPod (any name will work)
    2) connect the iPod and open the iPod preferences
    3) in the iPod preferences select the option 'Sync selected playlists only'
    4) in the dialog box, just below that option you'll see, a list of all your playlists. Select iPod and close the preferences dialog box
    5) begin dragging songs from your iTunes library into the iPod playlist. Watch at the bottom of the iTunes - iTunes will tell you how much space that playlist is taking up. You should be able to put in about 1.8 GB of songs.
    6) once you've filled your playlist, sync the iPod.
    Note: you can create more than one playlist for your iPod - say one for morning trip (calmer music) and one for evening trip (louder music) - and choose to sync all of those playlists to the iPod. Also, once the sync is complete, click on the iPod icon in the iTunes list and see how much space you have left. You might be able to squeeze in a couple songs more. Finally, if you get the error message that the playlist is too large, you can remove a couple songs. Also, take a look at the smart playlists. I always create a small playlist of songs I've never listened too and/or songs I've not listened too for a long time. Helps me mix things up a little so my iPod doesn't simply become a top 40's toy.

    Some apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

  • HOW DO I CREATE A 30GB SHUFFLE PLAYLIST FROM ITUNES LIBRARY TO FILL MY IPOD

    is it possible to generate a playlist lets call it, that is like a shuffle playlist but able to fill an ipod? where would i find the command like, " fill ipod randomly from itunes library"? wouldn't it be great !! just hook up the pod and have it filled with random songs from your library. every day you could have a new playlist, but a really big and different one.
    g4 power mac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Just create a new Smart playlist.
    Limit it to 27.5GB at Random.
    Also, set it to My rating is not One Star.
    Rate songs you do not want on the iPod to One star.
    Connect the iPod & select it as the Source.
    Go to the Music tab and set to Sync only this playlist.
    To change the music, select this playlist in iTunes.
    Select all songs and press Delete. It will fill up again at random.

  • Fill free space with specific playlist

    Hi Guys,
    Had a search but couldn't see the answer.
    How do I fill the free space on my iPhone with songs from a specific playlist on iTunes then force iTunes to re-randomize on each sync?
    Thanks!

  • Variable length playlist to fill remaining space on iPod?

    My Nano always has some room left after I've synced my selected playlists. Is there a way to get iTunes to fill the remaining space on the Nano - perhaps using a variable length smart playlist?
    (I know I could create one giant playlist that draws from my individual playlists and set the size equal to the Nano, but that won't work for me - I need individual playlists for the Nano to work in my car).
    Thanks.

    Also, it seems that iTunes is not smart enough to -remove- songs when you add something new, i.e. movies or podcasts, and will constantly tell you that the iPod is full. That results in having to un-check the option, remove every song 'automatically added', add the new content, then re-check the "fill free space" box. Did no one actually test this feature or is it done on purpose to wear out your iPod quicker?

  • Sync Audiobooks playlist, then podcasts, then fill up from music playlist?

    Hi there,
    I'm running a MBP with Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes.
    My questions is about syncing itunes with my 2G iPod nano. I have the iPod to sync automatically with a couple of podcast and audiobook smart playlists, as well as a traditional music playlist.
    Each time I sync, the size of the podcasts/audiobook playlists changes and sometimes goes over the space available on the iPod. Sometimes Itunes tells me this and says "Itunes will sync as many songs as possible", sometimes it just tells me there isn't enough free space and cancels the sync and sometimes it volunteers to turn off podcast syncing, which is what I specifically don't want. I haven't been able to figure out why I get different messages at different times.
    What I'd really love is to get iTunes to be able to sync first the audiobooks, then the podcasts and then fill the rest of the iPod from my playlist. Is there a way of doing this?
    Thanks very much.

    Is there a way of doing this?
    No.
