How can I customize the order of songs in an itunes playlist

I'd like to be able to control the order of the songs entirely, not by using Artist Name, Album Name, Most Played, or any other prefab filter. Is there a way to do this?

Hi ed2345! Thanks for the precise and clear directions! Regrettably, they didn't work for me. Sequence:
1. I clicked at the top of Column 1 (play order).
2. Triangle appeared.
3. I click and drag on a song.
4. A ghost-like image of the text in that row follows my cursor where I try to put the song. I try to put it in the body of the list, then I try to put it at the end of the list. Both times, when I release the button on the mouse . . .
5. . . .  the image of the text in that row returns to its initial place.
I'm trying to imagine what could interfere with this operation, but am drawing a blank. More UX fun!

  • How can I change the order of songs in a smart playlist?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about smart playlists.
    I have a smart playlist where all songs rated 5 stars are ordered in descending order, meaning the latest additions first. That works well in iTunes and I can rearrange the songs there without a problem.
    But when I start the iPod on my iPhone the order of songs in this playlist is always the same. In my case the latest songs are always put last no matter how I sort the songs in iTunes. I tried to delete and create a new smart playlist but the result is always the same.
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks for your answers....

  • How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    Never mind, finally figured it out. All the advice says to click on the left-most column, but it's actually the second column from the left (the first one, in mky version of iTunes, is the album list.)

  • HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
    -hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
    -select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
    -after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
    -after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
    -double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
    PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
    double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
    hope this helps:)

    I have shuffle  turned off. Seems like it shoudl be the simplest thing in the world to do, but I can't click and drag songs to change the order.

  • How can I change the sequence of songs in my iTunes library and playlists?

    I find that I cannot alter the sequence of songs iniTunes library, nor in 'My Playlist'.
    Having dragged an item to place between two others, it goes back to where it was.
    I am probably asking 'Help' the wrong question, but I cannot find the right answer.
    I am sure the answer is very simple, but I would welcome the right answer.

    That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
    I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

  • How can I reverse the order of songs in library?

    Whenever I import my albums into iTunes, they are always automatically arranged in reverse order. The only way i've found to change it is to right click on each track and go into Get Info>Info>Track numberof and basically change every track manually. How annoying. There must be an easier way?

    Maybe if I show you Pictures you will understand better. I thought you was talking about a playlist, I see what your talking about now. Put the CD in (Im using an old album CD for this) and you should see something like this

    Now Hit the blank header where its lighted blue and shows an up arrow http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1NyHmLpVlK4Ecwk2TR6jNMI9v0bXi And it should now be pointed down like this http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1yZikneRBsNZ2YZe6HbeJYYVBzSX

  • How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    Hello Pokerplayer62,
    In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
    From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
    To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
    Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
    Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

  • How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

    What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
    Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
    I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
    By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

    I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

  • How can I customize the skin of my AIR app

    Hi all,
    I have created an AIR app from my RoboHelp v7 WebHelp.
    Works and looks quite nice. Great. It's just that it did not use the WebHelp skin I created. It uses some default skin.
    How can I customize the skin of my AIR app? When I run the RH Packager for Adobe AIR, I get a dlg box come up, called, "General Options - RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR" and it offers me a few default skins, but it does not offer me the skin I made for my WebHelp.
    I also heard that if you learn FLEX you might be able to change the skins.
    TIA

  • How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
    Thanks for any help.

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.
