How do I setup itunes playlists to listen over my Sonos system?

Drag the items in the playlist to a flash drive open in Finder. It will copy the files to the drive. The files will likely then play by file name order. If you want it more structured you will have to read the documentation for your cars player on creating a playlist as this varies by each model player. Alternatively you can manually rename the files so they are alphabetically ordered in the desired order (usually adding a number to the start of the file name [not the track name in iTunes but the file name in Finder] works best).
Not all players will play AAC format files as is standard for iTunes Store music. If you encounter this issue you will have to convert the files to mp3.

HT1727 how do i transfer itunes playlists on my mac to a thumb drive to use in my car e in my car?

How do i transfer itunes playlists and/or individual songs onto a thumb drive on my apple desktop computer -- I want to play the songs in my car which requires the thumb drive. thanks

Easily done. Insert the flash drive into your computer, and open it so it looks like a folder. In iTunes, highlight the tracks you want (or use CTRL+A to highlight an entire list at once) and drag them into that open folder.
If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
The only complication may be the format. Many iTunes users use AAC format, which is rejected by many car players. If that is an issue, you can first use iTunes to convert the songs to the more convenient MP3 format, by this guide:

HT4061 Hello, I am a techno-dullard, I want to find out how to download my iTune playlist to my iPad2?

Hello, I am a techno-dullard and would like to know how to download my iTunes playlist to my iPad2?

connect your Ipad to your Mac, choose MUSIC under your tabs at the top, drag and drop your MP3 music and press SYNC at the bottom to move songs to your Ipad
You have to select the songs in the Music Tab of iTunes when your iPad is connected to your laptop, with iTunes running and after you have selected (clicked on) your iPad name under the devices heading. This will give you an overview of the syncing process.

How do i play iTunes playlists on sonos system

Sonos manual and support tell me to copy the itunes music libary.xml file to the to the shared drive (NAS) where the music is stored. This I have done but still cannot play the playlists. Help. If I do get a reply can you make it simple with regard to computer speak. Thanks

Hi guys, I asked Sonos this very question and they came back with this:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Sonos Support. For Sonos to work, just 1 of our components need to be wired to your router/network. The other components will work wireless with the 1 wired component. Please make sure you have an Apple Express with at least 2 ethernet ports, because the Apple Express with one 1 port is incompatible.

How Do I Move iTunes Playlists/Settings only to new computer

I have an iMac G5 (10.5.8) where where my iTunes sofware is located...however all the songs that the iTunes program accesses are located on an external hard drive. (iMac G5 Hard Drive not big enough to hold all the songs)
I have a MacBook (10.6.7) that I want to run my itunes software from instead of the G5...while I keep all the songs that the program access on my external hard drive where the songs already exist.
So to summarize, I just want to move my itunes playlists and settings from my G5 over to my MacBook, but leave all the songs on the external hard drive.
Can anyone answer how to accomplish this? Thank you.

How do I sync iTunes playlists on my iPhone with iTunes Match?

My experience with iTunes Match so far has been mixed. On one hand, the face of iTunes on one computer to the next is virtually identical, and the streming over the wi-fi from the laptop at work to my home computer is perfect. At the same time, iTunes Match on my iPhone seems terrible. Playlists don't sync and are deleted from my iPhone. Songs that are already on my phone, for some reason, still make my phone spin and drain my battery life. Even after disabling the "allow cellular data over 3G" message, or whatever it is, is turned off, still the phone keeps spinning and draining battery life. So, in one sense, iTunes Match is nice because I can access my music from multiple computers, but in another, the mobile connection - which should be awesome and seemless - is terrible. Is there a way, aside from turning iTunes Match off, syncing manually to iTunes, and loading my playlists like the old way (which isn't a perfect science now, either)...Basically, how can I sync my playlists from iTunes on my computer to iTunes on my iPhone using iTunes Match?

With iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device direct syncing with iTunes via USB or Wi Fi is disabled. To sync in the traditional way iTM must be disabled on the iOS device. At this time is it either/or.

How do I transfer iTunes playlists from external HD to PC?

I have have a referbished Dell computer with Windows 7 that I have downloaded iTunes 10 64 bit to. I have a library and playlists from a previous computer stored on an external drive configered to my previous PC. Seeing as my library is too extensive to hold on the computer, I have made a link in the iTunes-Edit- Peferences-Advanced to the external drive and dragged the library to the iTunes window. Now I am wanting to transfer my extensive playlists to iTunes. How do I that?

Hi flyview,
If you are looking to transfer your playlists in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library> Import Playlist.

How do i transfer itunes playlists from one computer to another?

My old PC with Windows XP and iTunes died for good. Luckily library and playlists were save on and external hard drive shortly before. My newer Dell vostro 1520 laptop has Windows 7 and wish to instal my playlists from my external hard drive into a new iTunes 11.1.5.5. The library is too large to hold on the computer so must remain on my external drive and I've made the link in preferences. The iTunes I was using when I saved it was an older version (if there is a way to find out from the files I haven't found it). I wish to know how to transfer my extensive number of playlists, folders, and track allotment and order from my external drive to my Dell. I could experiment with moving the playlist folder but I have the knack for screwing up my system and that I would like to avoid.

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
Since things are already broken it might be best to create this layout first then use FindTracks to repair things. Ideally you would have a complete clone of the library on a second drive as a backup. You would have the library folder at the root of the drive and the media folder inside it. Connect to the library by shift-starting iTunes. If everything is in the normal layout iTunes may be able to heal itself if you attempt to get info and locate a missing file when prompted. Otherwise you would direct the script to start its search from ..\iTunes\iTunes Media.
