How to show show the songs in my library that don't belong in any playlist?

I'm sure there's a way to do this and I'm just not thinking hard enough. Does anyone know how I can show the songs in my library that don't belong in any playlists?

jaypogi,
Welcome to Discussions.
Use one of these scripts:
Not In Any Playlist creates a text file listing of those songs.
Not In Any Playlist To Playlist puts them in a playlist.
Hope this helps.

How do I identify the songs in my Library that are still in .wav format?

Probably about 1/4 of the songs that I have loaded into my iPod are still in .wav format, and I need to convert them to .acc to free up some space. Is there an easy way to identify what songs are in .wav so that I can convert them all at once, or do I have to go song by song with "Get Info" to find out which ones are still .wav?

Goto the main library in itunes.
Now goto edit>view options and select "Kind"
You should now see this header in the main library. Hit the header once to have the list organized by kind. Roll down to the first sone that is WAV and highlight it. Now roll down to the last listing of WAV hold the shift key and select/highlight it. THis should highlight all the WAV files. Let go of any keys, rightclick and select "Convert to AAC".
This will make COPIES of all songs in AAC format. Go back and repeat the steps of highlighting the WAV files and hit the Del key on the keyboard, this should remove the listing from iTUnes AND offer you the option to move these files to the recycle bin

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to download the purchased music, because now you can only listen to purchased music from iCloud. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

How to play all the songs in my library

I have problems with the configuration of iTunes, it only play the songs that have the selection mark, and I don't know how to change the configuration in order to play all the songs in my library. Please, if someone know how to change this configuration, answer this message. Thanks!

There are several ways around this that work much better than unchecking stuff since you will still want to be able to play this in iTunes automatically.
One way is to manually manage the iPod...
Managing content manually on iPod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
which will let you simply drag into the iPod the stuff you want or select and delete from the iPod the stuff you want off. The downside of manual updating is that play counts and ratings you set in the iPod are not synced back to your library.
The other method is to use Playlists and Smart Playlists and set your iPod sync preferences to sync only the playlists you want. See this post of mine from earlier today that tells one way to set up a Smart Playlist to be just the right size for your iPod...

i have over 36,000 songs in my Ttunes library. iTunes match only allows 25,000. there aer songs in my library that i dont need or want as part of iTunes match. How do you delesect songs/tracks so that they are not part of the total library for iTunes match? I want to still have the songs as part of my master library but not part of Itunes match so tht i can get in under the 25,000.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may also need to turn off automatic downloads.

HT2905 How do I automatically get rid of iTunes titles that don't link to any file? I have many duplicates and only 1 that "works"

How do I automatically get rid of iTunes titles that are not "linked" to any file. I have multiple listings and only 1 or 2 that "work" for many songs...?

Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. If you can't get it downloaded, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form linked from the bottom of their Download FAQ web page and ask them if they'll remove the item from your queue for you.

How to easy find music in Library that wasn't added to any Playlist?

Hi, people. A very particular question: normally, I have all my music in Library and added to a specific Play list. How can I easy search music in Library that weren't added to any play list yet?
And LBNL how can I easy search music that doesn't exist (only link in iTunes) to delete the broken link?
thanks for your tips.

There's a slightly cumbersome way of finding out which songs aren't in a playlist. From the File menu in iTunes, Select Make a New Playlist folder. Call it whatever you want. Then, move all of your playlists into that folder (don't worry, you can move them again later). Then, from the File menu, choose Make a new Smart Playlist. The criterion for the Smartplaylist should be "Playlist is NOT <name of playlist folder>". The songs in the resulting playlist will be the ones that aren't in the other playlists.
Best of luck.

I have limewire so how do i export the song list to library?

Thats not entirely true.
I have an Audi car kit and it copies all contacts, missed/received/dialed numbers from the iPhone 3G to the cars system.
I can scroll through the contacts in the same way I can on the actual phone.
So it is possible to transfer the contacts via bluetooth but obviously this doesn't work with every manufacturer or bluetooth implementation.

How do I find the original I tunes library that my Ipod is sycned too?

We have been having problems with our computer and when we have got it back I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes. However when I put in my I pod to sync with it tells me that my ipod is already synced with another i tune library and it will only let me transfer the songs I have purchased from Itunes to the new library. Our I pod has all our CDs on it (which we no longer have) so how would I get them to the new library or even better how do I find our original library that we synced the I pod with?
Also last night I purchased 4 tunes from I tunes and they are not transferring to the I pod when it is connected?
Help

Hi DonTimo,
I've tried doing that, but in the said folder there are only default pictures. I can't find the images of any contacts in the app "Contacts" anywhere. The thread you refered me to and many others that are smilar to it, date back to about 2009-2010.
Really need this photo. Any other pointers?

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

My new I5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?

Hi there everybody,
My new Iphone 5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?
Some help will be greatly appreciate.
Thanks much!

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.
