How can I play my entire music library in MediaSour

I have a very simple but essential question regarding the Creative MediaSource Player. I would like to be able to simply click a track in my music library and have it play from there through the rest of my library until I tell it not to. However, short of dumping my entire libary into a playlist (which makes my computer upset) I do not see an option to do this.
Can anyone offer me help on this one? It seems so basic (iTunes works like this) and yet I can't find anything on it....

While backup up to a cloud service (iCloud, Google, Amazon, Microsoft OneDrive, ...) is possible, most people still seem to prefer using a suitable external drive for this. Even though iTunes Match provides a service to store your library online, its neither designed nor suitable as a reliable backup. A cloud backup is either going to be replicated to a local disc anyway, or would be far slower that physical storage for backup and retrieval - plus you might want or need to restore from a backup when your internet connection is down. Sufficient cloud storage for even a moderately large library is going to be expensive!
See turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable/recommended method.

After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

You have two separate questions here...
To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

How can I sync my entire music library, but not my playlist?

I usually purchase everything directly from my ipod and I use the "purchased" playlist alot to keep track of recent songs. I found that when I sync it deletes it. Is there any way to sync the library without changing the playlists on my ipod?

Just what is deleted when you sync?
Try just transfering purchases and not syncing

Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

How do I transfer an entire music library from old PC that crashed to new PC

I purchased a new computer and before I could transfer my music library to the new computer (Windows 8.1), my old PC (windows XP) crashed and I can't get access to it any longer. I can see how to download one song at a time, but is there an option to download the entire music library? (iTunes version 12.01.26)

How can I create a new Music Library?

Had to buy new laptop which of course has Vista. The old unit was acting up(I think Windows XP was corrupt), so I saved my Library Files but it looks like the old machine only saved portions not the whole Library. I had approx. 13,000 tunes (35GB) in the LIbrary and all that was saved seems to be 319 tunes. I have all the music on an external HD and only the Library was on the laptop. My question is, how can I create a new Library from the external HD music? Is there a way or am I SOL? Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

You need the entire libary on the external, not just media.

Once you get a complete iTunes folder on the external drive, start iTunes with the option/alt key held down and select the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive. You will also need to do this with your main computer or the libraries will become unsynchronized.
Alternatively you can make a separate library using the same media on the second computer. Start as you have been doing, let iTunes create a new, blank library file which will be on hte internal drive, set the media folder location in preferences to be the one on the external drive, then add the files to the new iTunes library. Unless you are a super-organized individual, or you don't care if your libraries do not have the same content, you are better off using a single library file that is on the external, not setting up separate library files.

How can i change the iTunes music library file location

Hi, I have installed the latest version of iTunes6.0.4, by default my music library files are storing in "c:\documents and ettings\administrator\myDocuments\myMusic\iTunes\iTunes Music". It's nothing but my H:\ drive and it will be shared by a group of pepole. I would like to move this location to "C:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music".
I tried by changing the location in the below specified way.
iTunes preferences --> Advanced --> iTunes Music Folder Location --> Change.
But still it's iTunes is storing the music libraries in"c:\documentsandettings\administrator\myDocuments\myMusic\iTunes\iTunes Music".
Could you please let me know how can change this location permanantly from ""c:\documents and ettings\administrator\myDocuments\myMusic\iTunes\iTunes Music" to "C:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music".
Thanks,
Chetan.

The music library files are hard-wired to the My Documents folder. The only way to move the files is to move the My Documents folder, which affects the entire system.

Help: failed iBook, how can I transfer safely my music library to a new Mac

My iBook display won't work anymore and also connecting an external monitor does not help. Probably the graphic card has failed and the repair is not worth. I will most likely buy a new iMac in the next days.
Now the problem. How can I get all my iPod music and playlists to the new iMac.
I have my 20+ Gbyte of music on the iPod and (fortunately) the library is on an external hard disc.
The iPod is in autosync with the iBook.
HOWEVER the music library database file and .xml file are still on the iBook, so I will probably not be able to recover them anymore!
The question is:
- is there a way to copy the music from the external hard disk to the new Imac AND re-sync the iPod to the new iMac without loosing the song ratings, playlists etc.?
- I know there are third-party applications to copy music/playlists from the iPod itself, but I have been discouraged as the massive copy operation could damage the iPod hard-disk.
Hence I would prefer to recover the music files from the external hard disk.
I know I could simply import the music in the new iTunes installation from the hard disk, but in this way I would have to scratch the iPod and re-associate it with the new iTunes, loosing all playlists and songs ratings.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hey- I'm in a little different position, but thought that whoever answers the above poster's questions probably knows the answer to mine too.
I have all my songs on an external hard drive which my computer has been having trouble recognizing. Therefore, I can't access my songs. Am I understanding the original poster above correctly that I have to purchase some 3rd party software to transfer those songs from my iPod back to my iBook?

How can I sync my old music library in my new nano to the new library???

CAN'T COMBINE MUSIC LIBRARIES:
Got a new 6th gen nano. X-ferred my old music lib to new nano. Gave my old nano to my hubs and he erased most of the music and added his own.(so, he has the same name for the old nano that I was using) Now, when I try to add more music to my new nano, I get a message asking me if I want to erase all the music content and add the new stuff. Well, of course I do not want to do this as I have hundreds of songs in the old music library. I also get a message saying that the old music lib is associated with a diff account name and I cannot have 2 music libs running on one iPod. Can anyone tell me how I an get the two libs combined? Do I need to back up the old music and add it to the new lib? Or, can I add the new music (only about 50 songs) to the old lib? (the latter would be much easier, as it would take 10-12 CD's to store my old lib and much time burning the cd's. I naively thot that I could add music to the new nano under the same music lib as the old nano. HELP!

CD songs load as Audio book tracks. How can I get them into music library?

Greetings.
Strange. Some songs I've imported into iTunes from CDSs load into the Audiobooks folder. I can't drag them into the music folder. In one case, one song from one CD - but not any of the others - will only import as an audiobook. I can't even import it from my
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can get the songs into the music library?
Thanks.

In iTunes 8:
Select Track(s) > right click > get info
Options tab > Media Kind
if you want the track to appear in Music select Music or Audiobook if you want it in the Audiobook tab.
It's also useful to set the Genre of audio books to something common (spoken, audiobook etc)

How can I get my entire itunes library onto my PC laptop?

I had an ipod touch, where I bought and stored most of my music. I only have a few songs on my PC laptop. Unfortunately my ipod has litterally fallen apart, to the point where it can't be used (pieces of the screen, wiring, and the outside have fallen off.) How can I get the entirety of the songs I have purchased using my apple id, including those that were on my ipod, onto my laptop? I have itunes 10.7 currently, but can install a newer version of itunes if need be. (As you may have noticed) I'm not a particurally tech savvy person, and I thank you greatly for your help.
