Importing playlist without the songs

A friend of mine has a great playlist of songs.  Rather than having her type them up, I thought there was a way to import the list as an xml file and then my iTunes will show me which ones I don't have and then I can purchase the ones I don't have.  I read it somewhere but can't seem to get it to work. 
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

It seems to be working now, I don't know why it did not before.

  • HT204406 The songs on my computer itunes playlist and my iphone playlist songs are not matching up. I do see new songs I've added on my computer playlist on my iphone playlist but the songs are not in the same order. How do I get them to match?

    Playlists matching on computer and iphone?  The playlists on my computer in itunes are not matching up with the "match" playlist on my iphone.  New songs do show up when I add them to a playlist, but the songs are all in different order.  If I edit a playlist on my computer how do I get it to match on my iphone?

    Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

    it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
    are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

  • I want 2 put music from cds on another ipod without the songs being in my..

    I want 2 put music from cds on another ipod without the songs being in my library. Sorry it cut me off on the title. I want to import songs to put on my brother's ipod, but when I try to delete the song from my library it deletes it from his too. Help?

    If you want to delete content from your computer but keep it on the iPod (so that is not deleted next time you connect it to iTunes), you need to set that iPod to manage the iPod content manually.

  • How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose?

    How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose, to a bunch of other people? Since iTunes won't allow me to burn a song more than a few times to disc, and I have to share playlists with my cover band (so we can learn songs), I need the capability to do this.

    Drag them from where? I've tried to drag them from windows explorer and it won't allow me. It seems the only place I can drag files from is from the iTunes library list. The problem is there is no way that I can find to just see the songs from a specific folder on my drive in the iTunes library list. It sorts them by artist, album, genre, etc....but not by folder.

  • How can I get a Printed list of 'all' of my playlists and the songs that are in each list

    I want to get a printout of 'ALL' of my playlists and the songs that are in each one.  All at once.

    And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
    For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
    For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
    I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box.

  • I have added about 2000 cds to itunes without the song details. as i slowly update the song titles and genres etc in itunes, it does not always update the file in explorer. is there a solution to this? thanks.

    i have added about 2000 cds to itunes without the song details. as i slowly update the song titles and genres etc in itunes,it does not always update the file in explorer.is there a solution to this? thanks.

    Windows Explorer will display tag properties for mp3 & wma files, not aac (m4a) or wav. It is possible for mp3 files to contain multiple tags but only one will be displayed. Try inspecting the problem fils with a third party tag editor to see if you can tell what is going on. For mp3 files, provided all the details that you want the file to have are displayed in iTunes, you can try using the right-click option Convert ID3 Tag > None a few times followed by Convert ID3 Tag > ID3v2.3 which may well help.

    When I import a ablum the songs show up as albums how do add all the song as an ablum

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

    Recently, I have been unable to import all of the "songs" or discs from multi-CD operas in itunes to my ipod classic or Seagate network hard drive. Only 1 or 2 discs or 20 or so "songs" out of a  total of 40 - 80 import despite plenty of available space in both devices. When I check itunes, each opera disc with all of the "songs" are listed. Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

    right click on the songs that do transfer and select create aac version then re sync

  • Zen Touch: Importing Playlists to the player with new firmware?/ Where do I get MediaSourc

    Hello!
    I have a problem with my Creative Zen Touch. I have updated the firmware of the Player to 2.., the new one which causes many trouble. The trouble is that I can throw my music via plug and play on the Player, but just with the Media Explorer for Play-for-Sure-Devices and with the Windows Media Player 0.
    With this programs it works quite fine, but I cannnot import playlists to the player, just the plain files. With the Media Explorer for Play-for-Sure-Devices I cant even select the Playlists and with the Windows Media Player the files just get loaded onto the player, but it does not import the playlist into the playlist-screen in the media-library in my Zen Touch.
    Before the stupid firmware-update came out, I used the Creative MediaSource-software, this worked quite well, because I also could import my Windows-Media-Player-Playlists and this was great. But now it does not work anymore. The problem with MediaSource is that after the firmware-update it does not recognize that my Zen Touch is connected with the PC. That is the reason why I cannot use this software to drag my music onto the Zen Touch.
    I tried to update my MediaSource via Internet via the auto-update-tool. Now I have mediaSource 3.30.2 but it still does not work. In this forum I read that there is a version 5 avaiable but where can I get it's Would it actually solve the recognizing-problem
    Are there maybe other possibilities to solve this problem
    I really need your help!
    Thank you,
    your Dridge from Germany

    OK, now I have found the MediaSource5-Software and I have downloaded and installed it. In the startpage there is at the end of the box "transfer playlist" but if I click on it, it says, that my Zen Touch is not connected. Overall the new MediaSource does not recognize my player, like the version 3 did too. But other software is recognizing that the Zen Touch is connected with the PC, like the Windows Media Player 0 or the Media Explorer for PlaysForSure-Devices.
    Please help me!

  • How can I delete songs from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes?

    How can I delete songs (forever) from iphone 4s without the songs synching back with itunes automatically?
    My settings are , handle songs manually.
    Best regards PelleRPG

    I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
    I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
    So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
    Best regards PelleRPG.

  • Importing playlists (JUST the playlists)

    Evidently, my last question vaporized so
    I will try again.  I have a situation where I have created numerous playlists from a large library.  I have all the music, but unfortunately, the pointers to many songs are wrong.  Th0ousdands of sonmgs cdo not play.  Going through individually is not a solution.  This has to do with trying to maintain the library on two computers and keeping them synched.
    One solution has been to start from scratch and relog the hard drive into iTunes.  This I have done, of course the playlists are empty, but now, all the songs play.  I would like to import the playlists back into iTunes so I do not have to recreate them.  I know there will be songs missing from the original lists because of the file pointer issue, but it is easier to put songs back into the playlists than try to recreate all of these painstaking lists from scratch. 
    Any suggestions?

    Find the iTunes Library.itl file.  This file is a database of the songs in your library and the playlists you've created. Some song-specific data is saved in this file. If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created is lost. The iTunes Library file is only used by iTunes.

  • M3U Playlist doubles the song

    Hi, I used to save playlist from Winamp in M3U format.
    When I slide my playlists in iTunes one by one, iTunes adds all of the songs again to my library. The playlist are based on songs all contained in my library. My library contains all of my 7600 songs and I use playlists to filter those down.
    I have tried figuring out this for a couple months now... I can't believe I am the only one stuck with this problem!
    I noticed that when I slide the playlist into iTunes, it would populate the Name field with $artist$ - $title$ sort of format instead of simply $title$. All of my tags are correct and are displaying correctly in iTunes except for those "dupe-added" from M3U playlists
    Thanks,
    Guy

    I'm getting the same problem.
    I'm just moving over to iPod/iTunes from Windows Media player and another mp3 player. I have all my playlists in .m3u format. There are 1000's of songs in some of them so deleting the duplicates isn't an option. I also tried the method suggested on this post - Preferences, Advanced, "Copy files to iTunes music folder..." and unfortunately this didn't work either.
    When I import m3u files into iTunes, it creates duplicate entries in my library. If I close and then re-open iTunes, the imported playlist will lose every song in the playlist and give me a message: '+The song "Song name" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?+' Sure I could locate every song but when there are 1000's this isn't an option.
    I'm hunting around for a solution but are yet to find one.
    The only suggestion that sounds promising is:
    "+I had to import the .m3u playlists into iTunes (which created duplicates and is extremely slow), then export those playlists as .txt files (which is fast), then wipe the iTunes library and rebuild it, then import the .txt playlists (which is also fast and did not create duplicates), then restore the iPod and reload everything onto it. It worked (is working) and only took about sixteen hours total.+" from http://forums.ilounge.com/archive/index.php/t-187613.html
    I haven't tried this yet as it might take a while.
    I'll look around for other solutions and report back if I have some luck.
    If anyone has any suggestions or has solved a similar problem let me know
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • Transfering playlists without the actual music files

    I woke up yesterday morning and opened iTunes just to discover that all my playlists are gone. I still have them on my iPod Touch. I tried using various programs but all they do is transfer playlists with the actual songs and I just want the lists themselves without the files, which I still have on my hard drive. How can I do that?
    Thanks.

  • Importing playlists & determining which songs it can't find

    I use a Mac at work and at home.
    I create smart playlist using my song ratings and export them. I then import those playlist on the other computer so I can easily rate songs with the same rating. When importing a playlist, it tells me that it can't find a song. (most likely because I've downloaded a song on one computer, rated it, and failed to download/transfer that song to the other computer)
    Is there an easy way to tell which songs it can't find when importing playlist?
    thanks!

    You can open the playlists in a text editor. Depending on the format Notepad will do, or you might find Notepad++ makes them easier to decipher.
