Hey Is there any way to sub-divide Playlists

I know this is getting really anal but I would really like to be able to set-up a playlist or something like it with an artist or band and then be able to sub-divide that playlist by album. Maybe I am going about this wrong I just don't like any of the other search methods provided by the ipod If you actually use the artist search tab I always get the random artist that I own one or two songs from because of a Soundtrack or compilation and I hate having to scan through them just to find what I am looking for. the album tab is just as bad cause then I really have to remember what such and suchs third album was called. There has to be a way to make this a more streamlined process that I am just missing? Hope someone can help.
P.S. And yes I have used the compilation option when importing the CD
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

This was answered in a later post

  • Is there any way to get my playlists back, or do I need to create them all again?

    Just installed iTunes on HP Envy running windows 8.1 and downloaded my music from external drive. On my previous device I had my music sorted into playlists. Is there any way to get my playlists back, or do I need to create them all again?

    Hi there msc74,
    If you still have access to your previous computer, the easiest way to accomplish this is to transfer the iTunes library to your new device. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Is there any way to make a Playlist and shuffle videos on a Playbook tablet?

    I just got a Playbook Tablet and like it except I really want to play shuffled Music Videos from a playlist.  I can do this on both my Ipod touch and android tablet and I assumed there would be a way to do this on the playbook.  However I cannot figure out a way to do this.
    I am willing a buy an app in order to accomplish this if necessary.  Im pretty sure the stock Music player won't play videos and the stock Videoplayer doesnt have playlists, but I could be wrong. 
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    There is no option make video playlist in PlayBook. I'm yet to come across such 3rd party app. I will let you know if I find any.

  • How can I get my Recently Added back to how it was before I reset? Also, is there any way to sort a playlist by the numbering (i.e. 1, 2, 3)?

    Basically, I reset my computer (not rebooted; reset, as in wiped it clean) and backed up all my music. After putting the songs back onto my iPhone, the playlists like My Top Rated and Recently Played were empty, of course. For Recently Added, all of my songs were in there. I imported my playlists and most were back to normal. However, the first 13 songs in my Recently Added were the same as before I reset my computer, which I found really odd, so I figured that they were sorted somehow for that to happen--they had to be. The rest of the songs were all of my other songs.
    Anyways, I can't find a way to get my Recently Added to just have those 13 songs and it's really irritating me. Is there a way??? Yes, I've tried limiting to 13 items. I've also tried sorting by name, and the "most recently/least recently added" options didn't work either. How can I sort it by numbering, as in the actual numbers next to the Artist name???
    Also, notice how the first 13 songs are sorted by Name and after those songs, the rest are sorted by Artist Name. So, I'm thinking this issue is fixable. It's peeving me!

    A smart playlist like "Recently Added" is based on the date that a track is added to your library.  Since you erased your computer and re-built your library from scratch, all your tracks are considered "recently added" because iTunes assigned a new date to each song as it was re-added to your library.
    Instead of re-building your library from scratch, and re-importing certain playlists you had saved, it might've been better to have simply recovered your "iTunes Library.itl" file.  That is the index that points to where all your song files are, and contains all your playlists, and has properties such as ratings, last played date, and date added.  As long as the native files for your songs are in the same place, you could re-use your "iTunes Library.itl" file if you saved a copy before you erased your computer (always back that file up along with your native files, the .itl file IS your library).
    As far as why the Recently Added playlist starts with 13 particular songs, then proceeds with the rest of all your songs in alphabetic order, it is possible that either you (or iTunes) started adding the songs back with the 13 most recent songs you had previously added to your library before it was erased, and once those were added then things proceeded by artist in alphabetical order.  Not sure, but there's really nothing you can do about that other than replace your .itl file with the original version if you still have it somewhere.

  • Is there Any way to recover iTunes playlists?

    I backed up my WinXP laptop to an external HD, installed Win8.1, reloaded backed up data including music, reinstalled iTunes. All is well except my playlists, 8 years in the making, are gone. Any way to recover those?

  • Is there any way to burn several playlists on a single CD?

    Using iTunes 6, I have only found how to burn a single playlist into a CD-R. Does anyone know if you can burn several playlists onto the same CD-R. (Given that all the playlists in this case would fit into a 700 MB CD-R) Thanx!

    hiya!
    hmmm. itunes doesn't support "open burning sessions", so you can't go back and reburn an additional playlist to a CD-R that has already had one playlist burnt on them. so we'd need to burn all those playlists simultaneously.
    one way to do that would be to create a new smart playlist that contains all the playlists that you want to burn in the session. use the following rule:
    Match any of the following rules:
    Playlist is [first playlist you want to burn]
    Playlist is [second playlist you want to burn]
    (etc)
    you might then want to go through the smart playlist and reorder the songs. once you've got them in your preferred order, burn the smart playlist to the CD-R.
    (doing things this way might save you a bit of time. rather than having to recreate a "burning playlist" from scratch each time you want to burn multiple playlists, you could just change the rules in the smart playlist to alter which playlists you want to burn at any given time.)

  • Is there any way to save my playlists off my ipod?

    my sisters playlist fantastic, and i want it for my ipod, but i dont want to have to go and add each and every song one by one. is there a way i can save her playlist to the computer?

    No. However, you could import them to your computer using third-party software, but there is no way to restore them to your phone.

  • In iOS 7 is there any way to browse other playlists in order to add songs when making a playlist?

    I have approximately 1000 albums and 14000+ songs available on iTunes Match.  In iOS 6 I could browse other playlists when creating a new playlist.  This was important because when I bought new music I would find it quickly by going to my "purchased" or "recently added" playlist and incorporate it into a playlist.  Now, iOS 7 appears to no longer allow this because the playlist tab is not available to browse when you go to add songs to a playlist. This may seem like a small problem but in reality it is a huge hassle for me and I assume any other users of iTunes Match or people with large music libraries.  I have not made a playlist on my phone or updated an existing playlist since upgrading to iOS 7.  Am I missing some way to add songs from other playlists?

    Above the left side of the preview area it says Advanced mode. Click that and you can use everything in the graphics panel.

  • Is there any way to shuffle video playlists?

    I've checked all over the place, but I can't seem to find any information on this. If anyone knows if this is possible I would really appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    The only 'workaround' would be to tag them all as music videos and then shuffle that.
    Chenks was interested in this sort of feature and may know if there's a solution.

    No harm trying - it worked for music videos (unless they just realised what an obvious omission it was!)

  • Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? Is there any way to have a playlist open in a new window?

    Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? I'm used being able to open a playlist in a separate window in order to browse through my music and easily drag and drop tracks into the playlist (in a separate window). It also meant that I could search and play the contents of my main library and just drag and drop into a large space AND easily hit the stop button and instantly hit the pay button to just start a new tune from a new playlist. Now you can only press pause / play / pause and so on. If I want to view the contents of a playlist while listening to another I need to navigate to it which takes me away from what I'm doing in the other. It just makes for a lot of clicking and navigating around the houses when I used to be able to have multiple windows.
    I'm an avid music fan and just love organising my music to make finding / listening to my favourites eaiser.
    Maybe I'm just a bit thick and not using the software correctly, but it seems that a lot of handy features have been either removed or replaced with inferior ones (at least for me anyway). I appreciate that probably for most generic general music goers this isn't an issue, but for me it is.
    A rather long winded way of asking if anybody knows if it's possible to have multi-windows open, but also a chance to have a public moan about a great piece of software that has been updated and gone backwards - a bit like the iPhone google / apple maps situation!

  • HT1711 Is there any way to gift a playlist from itunes?

    I am trying to gift a playlist, but it won't process the request.  Is this impossible?

    I just deleted a run from the Nike+ site after syncing with iTunes. You should be able to do the same.
    Just select the run and from the Options drop-down menu in the upper right hand corner select "Delete run".

  • Any way to view iTunes playlist in list view??

    Is there any way to view my playlists in a list view?  Viewing by album art is incredibly cumbersome and takes forever.

    This is what I heard:
    Playlists show up as album art until you tap on one to reveal the list of songs in the playlist. That is the way that the new Music App works in iOS 5.

  • Is there any way to re-instate an email sub accoun...

    Yesterday one of my email sub-accounts was compromised and 'deleted' from the yahoo mail server.
    The BT Techs suggested that I delete the reference to the sub-account on my 'Account' management page so that I could then re-instate the sub-account after 5-12 hours, when it would have been 'properly'
    deleted from the yahoo mail server. On trying to re-instate the original sub-account today (after nearly 24 hours) I kept getting the message that I could not do this as the username already existed.
    More calls to BT tech support, resulting in an escalated problem, but with the outcome that I will have to wait 110 days before the account is truly 'gone'.
    BT/Yahoo do not believe that they can restore the email account, which is frustrating as this account is used for all our business emails, and has been for 18 months now.
    I spoke to a really helpful bloke at BT this afternoon/evening who suggested asking about the problem on here, so here is the timeline.
    9.35am Mon 23rd - Security window popped up asking
    me to verify my login by entering my password. This didn't work (twice on Apple
    and once on PC)
    Tried to reset my password via the usual security (DOB & place of birth). No luck - was told that my place of birth and DOB did not match those on record! Alarm bells. Tried this three times, just to be
    sure.
    9.54am Mon 23rd - Called BT broadband help to ask them to nip into account to see, but the stored details were not the true ones.
    10.00am onwards - Eventually discovered that my security answer had been changed to 'Compromised' (or a version of this). With the techs help I was able to get into my security check area and correct all details and change the security question and logon password.
    BT Tech told me that there was no evidence of my sub-account (despite the fact I could see it listed on my screen along with 8 others).
    Because they couldn't find it there was no way to log in to reset the password...
    To simplify things for BT I deleted six of the sub accounts I no longer use, leaving only the one in question and one other that is still 'live'
    I was then advised to delete the sub account so that I could create it again. (Apparently after 5-12 hours)
    End of call
    14:05 - Sent test mail to sub account from another email address, and received the usual 'out of office reply'
    Account obviously still there
    Further, repeated mails across the rest of the day were not bounced back (as they would be if the account had been deleted)
    Tuesday 24th - Tried to create 'new' sub account with the same name as my original, now that nearly 24 hours had passed. No joy - username still exists
    Further calls to BT and the problem was escalated...to where I am now.
    No BT/Yahoo way of restoring the account because it's been deleted, although it will still exist
    Have to wait 110 days to re-create, but business critical as 40,000 magazines are printed each month with this address in them.
    So...
    is there any way to re-create the path to the deleted email account? Or...
    is it possible for BT to restore to the username from a backup snapshot from Sunday? Or...
    is there any way to set up a remote forwarding protocol despite the fact there is no loger a login?
    Any help gratefully received.
    Many thanks

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    A deleted sub account actually goes into a limbo state, and is actually 90 days (or 3 calendar months) before it is actually put back into the "unused" state. Hence any emails sent to this deleted sub account will not bounce, and any forwarding or out of office type settings are still active.
    You will not be able to re-create it as is already exists as this limbo state. All emails to it (unless using forwarding) will not be stored on the servers as far as I am aware.
    A few years ago now, it was possible to delete a sub account (from the primary, as this controls the accounts) and re-add immediately, but this changed to the 90 day feature.
    Unfortunately deleting the sub account was actually the wrong thing to do in this case. As you had already managed to alter the security details and DoB - in fact I always recommend that these are not as expected. For example "My first car" - you can put anything here, not a car, and for DoB - use something that isn't your DoB - any old date will do. As long as these answers are recalled by yourself. With the huge boom in social media sites, these sorts of details are not too hard to find and many folk can fall foul to their accounts being compromised.
    Anyway, after altering the details - there was no need to delete the account!, and I'm afraid that the advice was incorrect.
