How to make exclusive playlist?

I want to download a few songs and put them in a specific playlist especially for working out, however I don't want them to play in my overall library. Is there a way to make an exclusive playlist so that they only play when I have that playlist selected?
I have considered the option of making a separate playlist for my work-out music and then one for the rest of my music, but this is not the ideal solution.

For what you want to do, yes it is the ideal solution.
You can make the second playlist automatically, by means of a Smart Playlist with a rule "Playlist" "is not" "<name of workout playlist>". This will keep itself updated as you add or move music.

How to make each playlist for each movie songs ? when i tried to add songs all movie songs comes in row , its very difficult to find which movie song belongs?

how to make each playlist for each movie songs ? when i tried to add songs all movie songs comes in row , its very difficult to find which movie song belongs?

Thank you! I put some self help hypnosis tracks to listen to on my iPod. I did not want to go to the next track automatically, I wanted to listen to them individually, one at a time. (If I fell asleep, I did not want to 'wake up' in the middle of a different track.) Your information helps me understand that I need to re-load this playlist onto my iPod from my Mac computer, only first, I need to UNCHECK the boxes in front of each track so the iPod will STOP each time after playing the selected track. It is too bad that so many functions are not availabvle within the iPod, but that is probably why they can make it so compact.

I don't know how to make a playlist in Zen Micro!! lol Help P

Lol, ok so this may sound very bad but, i just dont know what to do to make a playlist with ALL the song in it.
There was a song playing, i am in the "Now Playing" screen, i save it as a playlist, now how do i add more songs to the same playlist? That is where im stuck!
Sorry if this is very stupid, but i've tried everything and somehow i got another song added to it, but i dont know how i did it....

make a playlist of ALL the songs you have? just why would anyone want that?
anyways... go tothe all tracks section onthe main menu and play a song. then tap the lower right icon on the player then select "Save as Playlist". rename the playlist and there you have it. if you wantto add a song to a playlist of ALL your song (again, why would anyone do something like this?), go to your playlist, play a song, then go back to the all tracks section on the main menu, choose the song you want to add on the playlist, then tap either the verical touchpad or the lower right icon then choose "add to selected". Choose as many sons you like. then go back to the "Now Playing" section (tap the vertical touch pad to see that the added song/s will be on the bottom list). then just rename your playlist and there you have it-- a playlist of all your songs PLUS the added songs that had been added before
to each his own i guess... enjoy

HT1711 How to make a playlist?

What's the best way to make a playlist?

Hi there!
If you are on your computer, click File >> New >> Playlist, and then add the songs of your choosing. If you are on an iOS device tap your Music icon >> Playlists (at the bottom of the screen) >> Add Playlist, and from here you can add the songs of your choosing.
I hope this helps! Best wishes and good luck!

How to make / edit playlists by genre..ex. country.. rap..r

how do i edit a playlist on my zen micro? when i create a playlist it just pulls all of my songs into that playlist , i can't put indivual songs into different playlists, so i have big playlist.... HELPDG

DG2392322: There's a thread here on how to create and edit playlists on the player, but player based editing is not particularly easy.
You are better to use the PC, and as Jake has said Notmad Explorer offers some of the best editing features. You can still use the software that came with the player though, like MediaSource and Zen Micro Media Explorer.

How to make a playlist loop

I just bought a 5G video iPod a couple of days ago; it's my first and I know almost nothing about using it. Everything is working and the sound is wonderful. The problem is that there are apparently fewer controls than I'd expected and I haven't been able to control what it plays to the extent that I'd expected.
The iPod is synched with my Mac and has what is supposed to be identical library and playlists. However, the Mac has lots of playlists set to loop (repeat), and the iPod doesn't seem to have that information: it isn't looping playlists that are set to loop on the Mac.
Is this normal? And, whether it is or isn't normal, is there still a way to instruct the iPod with its own controls to loop a playlist? Another question: is there a way to instruct the iPod to shuffle a particular playlist and to determine the way it shuffles (example, by album instead of by song name)?
The "Shuffle" menu item seems to apply only to the entire (very large) library. I don't see a way to apply its function to a particular playlist.
In reply, please don't assume that I know anything about iPods. I don't, though I've looked through the pdf manual. Does anyone happen to know of any more complete online resources than the Apple manual?
Thanks for any help,
Mary

Congratulations! Once you have gotten the hang of it, you will wonder how you ever lived without you new little friend!
Anyway, in answer to your questions:
The iPod is synched with my Mac and has what is
supposed to be identical library and playlists.
However, the Mac has lots of playlists set to loop
(repeat), and the iPod doesn't seem to have that
information: it isn't looping playlists that are set
to loop on the Mac.
Your iPod will loop a playlist, but you have to tell it to do that. This is done as follows:
1) Select SETTINGS from the Main Menu
2) Scroll down and click on REPEAT until you the option ALL displays to the right of REPEAT (ONE will only loop one song)
3) Click Menu to return to the Main Menu, and then select the playlist you want to listen to. Your iPod will continue to loop this playlist until you stop.
Infact, your iPod will continue to loop any play list (or Album) you select until you change that setting. Unfortunately, you can not set the iPod to only loop some playlists and not others - at least I haven't ever found a way to do that - But the REPEAT Setting should allow you to loop whey you want to.
Another question:
is there a way to instruct the iPod to shuffle a
particular playlist and to determine the way it
shuffles (example, by album instead of by song
name)?
Like the REPEAT Setting, there is no way to have the iPod shuffle some playlists a certain way, and others another way. However, you can use Settings to accomplish the same thing. Here's how:
1) Select SETTINGS from the Main Menu
2) Scroll down and click on SHUFFLE until the option YOU WANT displays to the right of SHUFFLE. Your options are to shuffle by SONG or ALBUM.
3) Click Menu to return to the Main Menu, and then select the playlist you want to listen to. Your iPod will continue to shuffle the songs or albums in whatever playlist you select until you go back into settings and select SHUFFLE >>> OFF.
The "Shuffle" menu item seems to apply only to the
entire (very large) library. I don't see a way to
apply its function to a particular playlist.
This is true. The SHUFFLE on the Main Menu only applies to the entire library. But if you change the settings, as explained above, and then select the playlist you want suffled, you should be good to go.
Hope that this helps!

Hey OscarDeLaGrouch,
Thanks for the question. You stated that you wish to play all of your songs at random. Shuffling might be the tool you are looking for:

How to make smart playlist that randomizes songs?

I want to have a playlist with 5 songs in it. The songs have to have a play count of zero, and I want them to be random every time I select the playlist. Is this possible? Basically I just want to listen to songs I've never listened to before and thought this would be an easy way.

Yes, just use a single rule "Playcount is 0," limit it to 5 items selected at random, and use live updating. Once a song is played it will fly off the list (since its playcount is no longer 0) and immediately be replaced.
If you ever want to "refresh" the list, i.e. get 5 new songs, then open the playlist, Edit > Select All (so they all get highlighted) and then Delete. Those 5 will be removed and new ones will appear momentarily.

Can i make a Playlist for movies?

hi i was wondering if there was a way to make a playlist for movies like with Windows Media Player like how you can just open several clips up at once and it plays them in order i just got Quicktime 7 Pro and im confused on how i would go about doing this if anyone could explain how to make a Playlist for movies on Quicktime id really appreciate it thanks

I can suggest two ways to do playlists with movies:
A. Use iTunes. Just as you would build a playlist with songs, do it with movies. Just drop movies inside iTunes Videos source (left column), then create a playlist and populate it with those videos. Then play it in fullscreen !
-- or --
B. Use reference movies to chain several movies. This can be done with QuickTime Pro or SimpleMovieX for example.
Here is the way to do it with SimpleMovieX (I known it better, as I'm the autor of this application) : Open first movie, go at the end, then drop the second movie, go at the end, drop the third, and so on... Then do Save RefMovie. This will just create a movie that refers to the sequence of movie, but does not contain them. You can also add chapter marks to have direct access to each individual movie with Add Chapters.

How can I make a playlist unchangable?

How can I make a playlist unchangable?

Right-click on it and choose "Copy to Play Order"
The songs can no longer be re-arranged (assuming that's what you meant). I think songs can still be added and deleted.

How do I make a playlist to resync my ipod?

a couple weeks ago i was adding songs onto my ipod and i added too many *not enough room on my nano*, and my ipod added a new playlist to sync with *with only some songs on it*. i didnt like that idea so i deleted it. then my ipod was wiped clean, with no songs at all. i posted my problem here and eventually i got my songs back on by syncing it to an ALL playlist *a playlist with all my songs on it.* i deleted that playlist a couple days later *this time by accident, and i couldnt remember how i did it before, and i couldnt find the post i read how to do it* so i played around and made another playlist and just dragged my songs over, and clicked the "Automatically update all playlists" button. and my ipod seemed to be back to normal. but today it just deleted like 30 songs because they had moved off of my "Recently Added" playlist, and were not on my ALL playlist, because i never added them to it. its so annoying how i cant just get my ipod back to normal.
-- should i try to sync it with another playlist again? *if yes, how do i do that?
-- or should i just restore it to factory settings? *if yes, how & how do i back up itunes.
this has been going on for weeks now and im really getting frustrated, and i went to the apple store and the guy had no idea what i was talking about. i know this is lengthy, but PLEASE HELP ME!! thanks soooo much.

Why not just make a playlist with the songs you want on your iPod?
You can then make other playlists that have only songs from that playlist (if you want to have playlists).
Then tell iTunes to only update those playlists (onto the iPod).
To do this, connect the iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences and click the iPod tab. Click the Music tab under that. Chose Automatically Update Selected Playlists and chose those playlists. Click OK.
<hr>
You can also uncheck the songs you don't want on the iPod (uncheck them in the iTunes library). Then go into the iPod Music Preferences (see above) and then check "Only Update Checked Songs" and click OK. You won't need a playlist.
<hr>
You can also set the iPod to manually update, so you just choose the songs and playlists you want on the iPod...
Managing Your Songs Manually
<hr>
You could just delete some songs from iTunes so that your library is smaller than your iPod. Then everything would be back to normal.
Also, there is no need to restore your iPod. If you did, you wouldn't have to backup your iTunes Music Library because a restore only affects the content on the iPod, not your computer. Of course, it is always a good idea to backup your music.

I am going to make a playlist and gift it. I have $40 on my account. how do I gift part of the $40 yhat's next to my email count at the top of the page and NOT have iTunes deduct it from my credit card?

I am going to make a playlist on iTunes. I have $40 which was gifted.to me. Now I want to gift a playlist and not use my account credit card. How do I do that. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can pay for a gift with gifted money.
https://discussions.apple.com/message18056833 - Once a gift card is entered it will be charged for any purchases you make until it is used up. Certain things such as gift cards can not be purchased with gift cards and will get charged to the credit card.

How do I make a playlist play UNchecked songs?

When creating a new smart playlist there's a checkbox option called "Match only checked items".
This means you can make a playlist that will include unchecked items.
Now how do I get them to play?
In particular I use the Genre field in conjunction with the Grouping field to identify Christmas songs. After all a Christmas song can be Rock, Funk, Soul, Pop, Folk, etc. whatever. I keep these songs unchecked so that they don't turn up in my smart playlists the rest of the year when I'm making a playlist of e.g. R&B.
However, I also have a smart playlist called Christmas that collects all these unchecked songs. Now how do I get it to play those songs?
Thanks.

You dug up an old apple account from years ago to respond to Grant Greene's 13 month old post?
I've been asking this question for years, because SOMETIMES I just make a playlist of a mix of checked and unchecked songs so that I can listen to ALL the songs in that playlist without checking them, ..
and valiant66 wrote,
"Besides, the checkmarks were put there to control what syncs with your iPod, not what you listen to."
which is incorrect. The option Sync only checked songs was put there for for additional control when syncing, not the only control
As noted, unchecking songs does more than simply not sync them.
And even when unchecked, you need to select the option to not sync checked songs.

How do I make a playlist of my podcasts in iOS7??

I like to listen to podcasts more than music. How can I make a playlist of all my podcast downloads in iOS7? And how can I do a random shuffle of the podcasts that I have not yet listened to? In the old operating system I was able to do this under iTunes after I removed the apple podcast app (based on advise from another posting). Now I am at a loss and regretting iOS7 upgrade.

Update - So I have found that I can make a random podcats playlist in iTunes on my computer and the playlist shows in the podcast app under "My Stations".
HOWEVER, the random order sort functionality is still not available on the iPhone Podcast app as far as I can tell. Really annoyiong. Still hoping Apple can find it in their hearts to better support Podcasting.
You would think that since the term PODcasting came about because of the first generation iPOD that Apple would care about maintaining this functionality with the iPhone!!???
