HT5470 adding a playing song to playlist

How do i add a song I'm listening to to a current playlist

If you are listening to a song on your nano, isn't it already on the "current playlist"?

  • Want to play songs in playlist, not master music library

    I have some songs that I want in a playlist (already created that) that I don't want to play in the main music library when I select shuffle songs. e.g.: I have a Christmas songs playlist. I open my music library, select shuffle and play. I don't want to hear my Christmas songs in August! Can this be done?
    Thanks.

    You could make a smart playlist that includes the rule playlist is not Christmas Songs
    Then you could shuffle that or use it as the source for iTunes DJ.
    Otherwise you could uncheck all the songs in the Christmas Songs playlist, then they would not be selected when you shuffle Music.
    I forgot to add that there is a Skip when shuffling option in Get info on the options tab. It also works if you do Gel Info on a selection of tracks, but be careful to only change the shuffling option as any change is applied to all tracks selected.

  • Play songs while importing?

    So upon installing itunes 8 i noticed they got rid of the play songs while importing feature. Does anyone know of a workaround to get this working again? It seems like it can be enabled again by editing itunesprefs.xml but i dont know the appropriate code if thats the case. I did tons of searches on the web and was only able to find information on macs. Can anyone help?
    this is frustrating because i dont want to revert back just for this feature.

    I guess that if you can turn this on on a Mac with:
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE
    Then it might be possible to do the same on windows by editing '\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunesiTunesPrefs.XML' and adding:
    <key>play-songs-while-importing</key>
    <data>True</data>
    It might work and it's pretty easy to check. MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP THE FILE FIRST!!

  • Missing: Adding the "Now Playing" song to a Playlist

    I have a lot of songs but I want to manage my music by creating playlists on the go, so I purchased an iPod Touch and Stuffed in all my music to iTunes to sync to my iPod Touch. Done.
    Just found out that you can NOT add the currently playing song to a playlist, new or existing. The easiest way to add the currently playing song, to a new or old playlist is to (This will be long), first, memories at least a few keywords of that currently playing song e.g. title, artist, or album, and then go to Playlist tab, select the playlist or add a playlist..., click on Edit, click on add song, search the song and add to Playlist, Click Done. Not easy.
    I find this very time consuming. I expected to see iPod Touch have this as a very very basic feature.
    My question: Is there a Product Enhancement Request already submitted about this? I had my iPod Touch with iOS 4 when I purchased it. Now I have iOS 5, no fix to this issue still.
    It would be really really appeciated if Apple's Product Management Team could give us a heads up if this feature will ever be available.
    Kindest Regards

    I second that.  I just use the "recently played" playlist as kind of a makeshift on-the-go playlist.  But to create a playlist from scratch, they've GOT to make it easier than scrolling through thousands of songs. I just don't create playlists on the ipod touch/iphone anymore.  I do it on iTunes and sync it to the device.
    Maybe they think playlists are just too "old-school".  They have "cutting-edge" features (no doubt to appeal the younger folks) like play a song by saying the song name, yet they don't give you a basic feature like on-the-go playlisting.

  • When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
    I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
    My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
    You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
    Hope this helps.

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

    Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
    HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
    WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
    I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
    A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

    I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

  • After upgrading my iPad to iOS 6 some of the music playlists from iOS 5 no longer work, because they are not available on iOS 6, eg. recently added, recently played. Should I delete them?

    Since the upgrade to iOS 6 some of my music playlists from iOS 5 do not work, eg recently added, recently played, probably because they are not available on iOS6. Should I delete them.

    I should mention that I have the same issue with my Iphone 4s, now using iOS6.

  • My PC is no longer permitting me to play tunes from my playlist library or even preview songs from the iTunes store.  The diamond isn't even moving on the bar when I try to play songs.  Any suggestions?

    My PC is no longer permitting me to play songs from my playlist library or even preview songs from the iTunes store.  The diamond isn't even moving on the bar when I try to play songs.  I have installed the most current version of iTunes and have verified that my PC is authorized.
    Any suggestions?

  • Only half of some iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone will play, then audio skips to next song in playlist!

    Several (maybe 5%) of iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone do this... at EXACTLY 1/2 way through the song. 
    EXAMPLE: At 2:25 of a 4:50 long song (Shania Twain - From This Moment) the next song in playlist (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) starts as the audio skips to beginning of next song in playlist.  Oddly, Shania's attractive album artwork and title stays up while Taylor's tune plays (?)
    When the timeline for the first Shania song hits the end, the artwork slides to Taylor Swift's CD Cover art and the timer slider adjusts to near the end of that song.
    When I play same songs on the same playlist on iTunes (also downloaded from iTunes Match) this does not occur.
    Does anyone else see this happen or are there any suggestions?
    THANKS

    Hey Guys, from my late model iPhone 4, I am also seeing my iTunes Match songs terminate playing very abruptly ...some won't play at all ...others skip to the next track after 10 seconds. 
    I checked the source files on my iMAC, and they are 100 percent perfect. 
    Tried deleting them, recreating them, signing out and then back into iTunes with Match On & Off, etc ...still no resolution to these problems. 
    Maybe the MATCH product is crashing under it's own weight now?   It used to be good, but now I am not so sure anymore. 
    Please post if you have any solution or suggestions. 
    Thanks!

  • My ipod touch keeps showing me songs that I cannot play in my playlist. How do I make it so it only shows songs I can play? It wont let me delete these songs

    my ipod touch keeps showing me songs that I cannot play in my playlist. How do I make it so it only shows songs I can play? It wont let me delete these songs

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Delete all music by: go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How do you play songs in your playlists now?

    When I click on my playlist - it seems to only play one song. The playbutton in the viewing frame doesn't seem to work. Is the idea that i now have to add songs in my playlist to this new "up next" feature to play an entire playlist? If so that seems like a step backward.
    Thanks for any thoughts and help you might have.
    *UPDATE*
    Is seems that all of my songs since upgrading are now un-checked. The solution was to select all songs in the library, right click the selection, and click on "check selection"
    Things are now working as expected

    I'm getting very confused about all this.
    It seems like, if I'm using a playlist of podcasts, and the playback is set to random, then only one song/track/podcast will play - and then it'll stop. When I check "Up Next", there's nothing there.
    If I turn off the random playback, then it plays through, and "Up Next" shows the next items in the playlist - in the playlist order. So the way to play podcasts is to play them straight through. You're not allowed to play them randomly, for reasons that utterly escape me.
    With audiobooks, I don't know what the **** (EDIT: ha! even that word is blanked?! I thought I was restraining myself!) is going on. Some playlists will let me do random play, and others will not. I have no idea what distinguishes one from the other.
    In sum: with podcast playlists, random play doesn't work at all - only one track will play. With audiobooks, that is sometimes an issue.
    Thus far music playback seems to be fine and largely as it should be.

  • Anyway I can highlight the song playing in my playlist on my computer screen?

    Anyway I can highlight the song playing in my playlist display on my computer screen?

    On the computer screen, the playlist displays a small speaker icon to indicate the song playing. Another song is highlighted in blue. One would think the highlighted song would be the song playing since it attracts the most attention in the list. Instead you must seek out the tiny icon. So I would like to know if there is a way for the song playing to be highlighted.

  • Can I make a playlist where the songs are only able to play in the playlist

    I would like to create a playlist and add tracks to it (its the Focal Setup Disc) such that the songs would only play in my playlist not in my general music queue. Is this possible? Thanks!

    No.

  • Is It Possible To Only Play Songs from Specific Playlist?

    I got a new iPod Shuffle for Christmas and have put 2 playlists onto it. The 1st playlist is a running one and the 2nd playlist a general one.
    Is it possible for me to play songs only from the running playlist when I am running. It currently is playing songs from both playlists?
    Thanks

    Yes.   See this article for how to it manually.
