How to copy playlist to pc

Hi, i recently made a playlist for my 40th birthday party and i want to transfer it to my pc.
I spent ages selecting the songs and reduced the length of each song to around 3 mins, also i used the crossfade option so that the whole playlist plays continuosly with no gaps.
So all the songs i have chosen are in my playlist and in my library, but because i have shortened the length of them in the playlist, they are also short in the library, so before i go through and revert them back to original length, thus changing my playlist, i would really to keep a copy on my pc for future use as it took so long to create.
Is there a way i can transfer the complete continuous playlist to my pc ?
I did try adding the playlist to my ipod classic but when i played it back, the songs had gaps in between, as i now realise that the classic is not compatible with the crossfade option.
I have windows 7, and  itunes version 11 .
Any help appreciated, thanks scott.
Ps if i can get the playlist onto my pc as one file, would i then be able to put it on my ipod classic so it plays continuosly as this is ultimately what i would like do.
Thanks again.

Just select that one playlist and - only that one playlist - to sync . You can select the content that you want to sync to the iPad in each tab of the iTunes window in the right - while the iPad is connected to your PC and with iTunes running.
Just select your iPad on the left side under devices, click on the music tab, click on the playlist that you want to sync - go into every other tab and choose the content that you want - make sure the headings have been selected as well - i.e. Sync Music, Sync Apps, and so on. After you have made all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • How to copy playlists form ipod classic into iTunes 12

    I need help transferring my playlist into my iTunes 12 library. My computer crashed and I was only able to get my music library re-installed in  iTunes but my playlists did not show up. Does anybody know how to copy playlists from my I-pod classic into the iTunes 12 .

    I have two scripts for recovering data from devices; ImportDevicePlaylists to import the playlists, and SyncStats to import the ratings and play/skip counts/dates.
    The user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device has more information on recovering content from devices, but if you have all of the media then the scripts above will probably cover everything that else than can usefully be recovered, though you should still backup and then restore iOS devices.
    See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy to ensure you have a full backup of your library in future.

  • How to copy playlists to new system?  Have multiple IPODs on one computer..

    I have recently upgrade the C drive on my system and did a clean install of Windows XP pro. In the process I have re-installed Itunes. The music itself (mp3 files..) is on a seperate hard drive. My problem is that I now have Itunes restored showing all 24,000 songs. But I don't have the original playlists. The playlists are critical because they determine how the seperate IPODs are synced up. Is there some way to create a playlist from the IPOD onto ITUNEs? Can a playlist be copied from one system to another? So far I have not been able to get the old playlists recovered....
    ... it sure seems like some of these issues would be prety common and you'd think Apple would have a graceful way of dealing with it....

    The playlists are stored in the iTunes library files. These should have been copied/backed up before upgrading. There are programs available to transfer from iPod to iTunes. I have never used them so I don't like making recommendations.

    Well, I have figured out a way around this.
    1. I renamed my "iTunes Library.itl" file to "iTunes Library.old"
    2. and then copied an older "iTunes Library.itl" file into the Itunes directory from the most recent "Previous Itunes Libraries". I didn't do anything with the .XML file.
    3. I brought Itunes back up and I had the old playlists.
    4. I used the "export" option in the "File" menu to export each playlist to a text file. (It was a bit tedious cause you have to select each individual playlist...)
    5. I renamed the I renamed iTunes Library.old" back to "iTunes Library.itl" and restarted itunes
    6. I used the "import" option under the "File" menu to pull the playlists back.

  • HT1420 How to copy playlists to a new computer

    Once you have saved your iTunes folder from a previous computer onto an external hard drive, how do you re-create your old playlists on a new computer with your saved iTunes music folders/files?

    As long as you move the iTunes folder with all its contents to the new PC you should have all your playlists.
    If you have any music tracks outside the iTunes media folder you must consolidate your library first so that everything is in the iTunes folder.
    Then just install iTunes on the new PC.
    Rename the iTunes folder created by iTunes in music.
    Then copy the old iTunes folder into Music on the new PC so that it replaces the one you renamed  and you should be good to go.

  • How to copy playlist to another compu

    Have the latest updates etc for Mediasource. On desktop computer I have set up the playlists and song tracks exactly as I want. Everything works, no problems. On laptop I have installed all the same software as on desktop. Is there any way to copy the playlists/database to the laptop without having recreate all the playlists from scratch? I understand I will need to move all the song tracks to the same disk dri've letter and folder names which I can do no problem. Been experimenting but cannot figure out what files/folders to move to accomplish this. Thank you in advance for assistance.

    Playlists are stored in a file called "iTunes Library" in your iTunes folder. I think the format of this library changed between iTunes 6 and 7. You may be able to copy this file from your old mac to your new mac and have itunes 7 convert it for you. I don't know if this works, so, if you try it make sure you have a copy of your existing iTunes 7 Library.

  • How to copy playlist to iPad2?

    I have created a new music playlist on my laptop.  My iPad2 is connected via iCloud.  But there doesn't seem to be a way to copy the playlist to the iPad2.  Drag and drop doesn't work.  Must I re-create the playlist manually on the iPad?

    Thanks for responding!  Yes, I've tried that.  When my iPad appears under Devices, I can't drag and drop the playlist.  On the IPad's Summary screen, neither "Back up to iCloud" nor "Back up to this computer" makes any difference.  On the Music screen the only thing that appears is "iTunes Match is on". The pre-iCloud screen permitting me to copy selected playlists no longer appears — that's what I used to use.

  • Copying playlist through Home sharing or through any mean

    I have a new pc and I'm trying to copy my playlist from the old machine to the new one. I copied all of the music using Home Sharing but it seems you cannot copy a playlist through home sharing.
    1. Does anyone know how to copy playlists using Home Sharing or
    2. Does anyone know any other method of copying playlists from my old machine to the new?

    There is no such thing  as "home sharing sync".
    iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
    iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable.

  • How to copy attributes (as in which playlists) from one song to another

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to copy the characteristics of a song--as in which playlists it appears in--from one song to another, so that the new song then appears on all those same playlists also? Or, if not, maybe you have some other idea for me:
    I'm working with a Mac. I have several hundred playlists with ~100 songs each, and about 3,500 songs in my iTunes. Most of these songs are currently AACs. I've realized I have a problem: If I want to burn disks with MP3-format songs, I will need to convert the AAC to MP3s to burn them. If I don't want to have thousands of duplicate songs, I will need to trash the AAC versions of those songs from my library. If I do that, they will disappear from the playlists they are currently in (one song might be in 20 different lists). If I had to manually take each MP3 version created, look at which playlists the original AAC version is in, drag the MP3 version to each playlist, and delete the AAC version, it would take a Looooong time. Does anyone know of any shortcuts? For example, is there some way to copy the information about which playlists a given song is in and then paste that info onto the new version so it now appears also in these playlists? Or some other idea? Thanks very much!
    Molly

    Never heard of any way of doing that. However, you may want to check out Doug's Scripts. There might be something there to help.

    My computer got a virus and I had to reformat the hardrive, how do I put back all my music from my "ipod color display" back to my music folder in my pc with all the songs, song ratings and playlists?
    Thank you for the help.

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.

    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • How to copy songs that's already in the ipod into the computer hard disk?

    I had some "music" mp3 files, so I put them into my ipod by using iTune. I pick a mp3 file and I drop it into the "MUSIC" section under the "iPOD" section, in iTune. After this, I didn't make any backup, for exemple, place them into the iTUNE's "MUSIC LIBARY" or copy them, place them into a file and store them into the computer's hard disk, because I only had one computer and I don't want to make to much spaces into the computer's hard disk, because the computer's hard disk did not have alot of memories available to use, it's almost fully loaded. Then I discovered that "I could't copy the existence files from the iPod and put them into the computer's hard disk", and I found this is ridiculous. So... can someone please telle me "how to copy or take the mp3 files out from the iPod and place theme into the computer's hard disk?"

    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.

  • Copying Playlists and Playlist Folders from iTunes to an iPod

    I have my music library structured in iTunes with Playlist Folders (for Composers) which contain Playlists (for Works). Now I am having trouble duplicating this structure on my iPod.
    Just after Playlist Folders were introduced in iTunes, the iPod (mine is a 160GB Classic) didn't support Folders at all. But in some later version suddenly it did. Great! Everything seemed fine. But now, when I try to copy a Playlist Folder by Drag and Drop to the iPod, on the iPod it ends up just as a Playlist (not a Folder), at least as seen by iTunes (v8.2.1 (6)). Actually on the iPod itself, the folder structure (under Composers) is displayed but iTunes shows the entry just as a Playlist. I've tried disconnecting the iPod and restarting iTunes but that didn't help.
    Am I doing something wrong in the copying? Can anyone suggest how I can copy Playlist Folders to the iPod so that iTunes displays them as Plalist Folders there?

    Many thanks again for the extensive answer.

    Once you have the playlist sorted correctly in iTunes, then use the "Copy to play order" command I mentioned and then re-sync the iPod. The sort order on the playlist on the iPod should then match the order in iTunes. If not, then I suspect you're doing something wrong.
    I did use the "Copy to play order" command as you described. The problem I have is that, although the play orders all look fine when seen from iTunes (both for the music library and when looking at the iPod), on the iPod itself the order is not correct. Quite likely I'm doing something wrong but I haven't been able to discover what

    Do you mean "Structure" as in playlist folder/plalist structure, or do you mean "Sort order"? If you are auto-syncing the iPod then the playlist folder/playlist hierarchy should transfer exactly as it is in iTunes.
    Understanding "Structure" may be part of the problem. Maybe I'm trying to do something that is impossible. I have built my private structure in iTunes, using Playlist Folders for composers and then Playlists (within the Folder) for each work of that composer, e.g.
    -Playlist Folder: Wagner
    --Playlist: Wagner - Das Rheingold
    ----Track 1
    ----Track 2
    --Playlist: Wagner - Götterdämmerung
    ----Track 1
    etc.
    That works fine (for me) in iTunes.
    On the iPod, though, you get something similar via Composers but I don't really believe that the iPod is using my structure. Rather I think it finds the composers via the Composer tag in the "songs"/tracks and then makes groupings depending on the album. That works out similar to my structure, for I define albums for each work. However, I'm not really convinced that my playlists as such are used at all on the iPod, even after syncing (as evidenced in the example where I had two playlists in iTunes with the same album name and they were merged when seen on the iPod).
    That aside, it still doesn't explain why the play order is sometimes (but not always) mucked up when looked at directly on the iPod, when the same work's play order looks fine when the iPod's contents are displayed by iTunes.
    At the moment I remain confused and puzzled. I won't now be able to follow the problem further till after the weekend but maybe next week I'll try deleting the playlists which are causing me trouble (with the play order) and redefine them, to see whether the confused play order happens again.
