How can I Separate Playlists from Music in iTunes?

I created a playlist call 'iPhone' to synch with my iPhone. However, this playlist also shows up in 'Music' (under Library) and any change I make to one affects the other. If I delete the songs from Music, the playlist also gets deleted. How can I make a playlist that will be independent from the music window? This would allow me to add and delete songs from music without affecting the playlist.

You cannot. All a playlist is is a pointer to files located in your library. All a playlist is is a listing of music. Not actual files.

  • How can I make playlists from podcasts in iTunes 11.1.3?

    I used to be able to highlight podcasts and create playlists from them with a right-click. In version 11.1.3 of iTunes, that option is no longer available. Does anyone know of another way to create playlists from podcasts now?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mizmidwest

    It seems to work for me.  Select the entire podcast, or specific episodes from a podcast or podcasts.  Right-click on the selected items and choose New Playlist from Selection.
    iTunes 11.x may hide the sidebar (along the left side of window).  It looks and works differently from earlier versions (before iTunes 11), when the sidebar is hidden.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  With the sidebar visible, it works (mostly) like it did in previous versions.

  • How can I separate playlists from different libraries when two or more users do login in the same computer?

    We've got two computers. I access my iTunes on both of them. I've got an iPod nano. But another user access his own iTunes account in one of these computers. He's got an iPhone. When I login in this one, I share all my playlists with him, and vice-versa. How do I do to separate these libraries without deleting one of them?

  • How can I retrieve playlists from another Spotify account

    How can I retrieve playlists from another Spotify account that the email is no longer active and I forgot the password to that account.

    Hey there , welcome to the community!
    Since you have two accounts, it would be best to just have Spotify close that account and have them transfer all your music to your new account. How does that sound? If you contact the accounts team through the online contact form and provide the account username with the e-mail address, date of birth, and zip code on the account then they should be able to do it for you! If you receive an automated e-mail directing you back to the community, just reply to it and you should receive a reply from a representative within 24-48 hours.

  • Anyone know how I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop. Computer had crashed. I am unable to export. I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?

    Anyone know if I can transfer my playlist from iphone to Itunes on my laptop.
    I am not keen to sync my iphone to my new laptop in case it wipes out my playlist.
    My Computer had crashed so I am unable to export a playlist.
    I had backed up songs to icloud which are now on my laptop however without the original playlists folders?
    Any suggestions?

    Hello CDA ENT
    I would turn off the automatic syncing so that way you can see what is on your iPhone. From there, you should be able to see what is on your iPhone and then can export out the playlists and then import them back to your library. I would also recommend backing up your iPhone before going through with this process. To export a playlist, have it highlighted then go to File > Library > Export Playlist…

    Open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. Select the option to prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.

  • How can I separate voice from game sounds in a audio channel?

    Hello, I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I want to know how can I separate my voice from the game audio from a video gameplay who are in the same audio channel.

    As far as I know this cannot be done. Unless you do some really, REALLY intense editing in Adobe Audition.
    I am a fellow lets-player and what I do is record my microphone input with a free-ware program called Audacity and record the game sounds with Mirillis Action! (or FRAPS, whatever you use). This way my voice and the game sounds are seperate.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • How can i import photos from ipad to itunes, how can i import photos from ipad to itunes

    How can I import photos from my iPad to iTunes on my Windows Vista PC?

    I'm puzzled!  I had received a set of jpg files through an e-mail on my ipad.  For reasons unknown to me, they got saved to my (only) album, that had an irrelevant name.  When I tried to change the name of the album, I received a message that I could only change the name of the album after importing them to the computer where (as I recall) iTunes resided.  After much huffing and puffing, I managed to import the photos, to the Windows computer, but they wound up in a Windows Photo Gallery directory, where I put them into an appropriately named album.  Now, how do I get them back to the iPad.  (I also learned, I think, that iTunes will have nothing to do with the photos.
