Is it possible to creat a playlist from the 'Up Next' list?

That may seem odd, but the reason is this.
For our labs I'd like to crate playlist that play files from our shared libraries.
Cut down on the piracy of our vast music collection in our university music dept.

If I'm may quote secret agent Maxwell Smart. "Missed it by that much."
You answer to my question is 100% correct and that function is pretty cool. Good to know!
However, this feature allowed me to discover that what I wanted to do does is not possible. Up Next can contain songs from a shared library (wich I find to be an outstanding extension of iTunes networked functionality). However, it does not provide for the ability to put content from a shared resource into a playlist. This is probably a fairly straight forward possibility, technically speaking, but doubt Apple will put too much effort into this at this time.
Thanks for answering the question that I asked! kudos to you Steve.

  • Is it possible to create an activity from the Agenda?

    Hi Experts,
    We noticed that it's possible to create a note from SSC1 Tcode but not an activity.
    When we create an activity (appointment), it appears in the agenda but  we can't manage to create it from the agenda.
    Is there any possibilities ?
    Many Thanks
    Laurent

    Hi,
    You can create the activity by double clicking on appointment calendar.
    Go to Tcode : crmd_order and select calendar tab.Double click on any time of the calendar and select the appropriate transaction type for activity.
    Then you will be able to create the activity.
    If helpful kindly reward me.

  • Is it possible to create video material from the new Apple Maps app? Has anyone attempted this?

    I'm interested in creating a mini movie/video of key locations on Apple maps. Can you plot, rotate 3D, flyover a number of locations to tell a story and then download it as a movie? Anyone attempted this?

    Unless you deleted the previous version, it is retained in the iWork 09 folder in Applications.
    Apple no longer supply the previous version of Keynote (it was part of iWorks 09), but it can be purchased on eBay as a DVD disc.
    If you want to remove Keynote 6, right click the icon in Applications and select move to trash.
    Keynote 6.1 works well, it has some issues with converting from older version files and has some features missing from the previous version but it is usable and stable, I use it every day without any problems.
    Keynote 6.1 does have an inspector, its the side panel on the right.
    If it is not in view, click either the Format, Animate or Setup buttons top right on the Keynote tool bar.

  • Is it possible to create a table from the input of an XML file

    Hi,
    Must the table exist when I try to parse data from an XML file, or can I tell the parser to create the table if it doesn't exists.
    thanks
    Rune Haavik

    Rune,
    XML Parsing on Java side does not require any table(s) to be present.
    If you are talking about PLSQL parsers, then I guess you can catch the exception in your PLSQL block and then create a table. This falls in the SQL realm.
    I hope this answers your question.

  • Create a Playlist from external folder with tracks already existing in iTunes

    I was just wondering if its possible to create a playlist from an external folder (on my desktop) with tracks that already exist in iTunes.
    I basically have a folder on my desktop that i use with Serato, i was wondering if it'd be possible to sort a playlist in iTunes with the tracklist from the folder? I already have all the tracks on iTunes so i don't want to add them onto iTunes again just to put them into a playlist as i'd have to sort through all the duplicates to delete the non playlisted tracks (theres around 1500 so it wouldn't be a quick task).
    Would be much appreciated if anybody can help!

    Hi,
    I have an AppleScript that does this.
    This script need Spotlight metadata, all files in the folder that you use with Serato should be indexed.
    Works well if the tags (name and artist) are defined
    In this script :
    it will display a dialog to select your folder
    iTunes search track from the library playlist according to (artist, album and title in the Spotlight metadata of each file).
    If iTunes found a track, iTunes will add this track to the new playlist.
    The script takes 35 seconds for 1000 files on an old machine (PowerMac G5 2 X 1.8 GHz) .
    This should take less than 100 seconds for 3500 files on the new machine
    Here is the script :
    -- this script need Spotlight metadata, files in the folder should be indexed
    set folderPath to (choose folder with prompt "Select the  folder that you use with Serato")
    set f to quoted form of POSIX path of folderPath
    my makePlaylist(do shell script "/usr/bin/find " & f & " -type f \\! -name '.*' -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 /usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemTitle -name kMDItemAlbum -name kMDItemAuthors | /usr/bin/sed 'H;$!d;x;s/\\n[^k]//g'")
    on makePlaylist(t)
          script o
                property L : paragraphs of t
          end script
          set tc to (count o's L)

                      set t to (get first track of masterLibr whose name is tTitle and artist is tArtist and album is tAlbum)
                      duplicate t to newPlaylist -- add founded track from the library playlist to the  new playlist
                end try
          end repeat
    end makePlaylist

                      if i starts with "kMDItemAlbum" then

  • How can I create a playlist from all songs in a single folder

    On my D: drive I've got a folder called MUSIC. Under MUSIC I've got folders by artist and then album. I have no problems putting together playlists from these artists. But I have a few folders that are a combination of many different artists songs. I can't find a way to view this group in iTunes and create the a playlist from these mixed folders. It appears I'd have to hunt for all the songs individually through all my music and add them one at a time...a nightmare.
    What I was hoping for was the ability to go to my MUSIC tab under my LIBRARY and add a column for file location. That way I'd sort them by folder location and grab them that way.
    I created my playlist and tried to simply drag/drop the folder and/or the songs directly from windows explorer but of course that didn't work.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks

    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 do I create a playlist from songs in other playlists?

    Before updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, I used to be able to create a playlist by choosing songs that were already in other playlists. Now, when I click on Create Playlist, the only options I have on the bottom of the screen are to choose from Songs, Artists, Songs and Composers. I want to create a playlist from songs that are in my other playlists, such as Purchased or Favorites, for example, instead of scrolling through a couple thousand songs to find (and remember) the ones  I want. What I can do bring that option back? I've looked in my settings and haven't found anything I can do about it. Any knowledgable people in this area, please suggest solutions.

    In list view click on the far left column which allows you to drag to desired play order.

  • Can not create a playlist from Buffalo NAS drive

    Hi,
    I have a Buffalo NAS drive which stores my iTunes Library. When I try to create a playlist and highlight the songs I want, I cant seem to drag them across to the playlist. I'm assuming that is because they are on my NAS drive and not local. Is there anyway around this?
    ITunes 8.0.1 (11)
    Buffalo NAS Linkstation 320GB

    If the tracks aren't represented in the local iTunes library but only appear as a shared library, you cannot add them to a new playlist. You'd have to mount the Buffalo as an external drive and add the tracks to the local iTunes library: turn off the option to "copy files to Tunes Music folder when adding to library" in the Advanced preferences) and then use the "add to library" command under the File menu. The NAS will have to remain mounted whenever you want to use iTunes in this scenario.
    Otherwise, you'll have to consult the Buffalo's documentation to determine if it's possible to set up playlists on the Buffalo and if so what procedure to follow.

    Hello People,
    are there many others experiencing problems creating Genius Playlists from their iPhone 5's???
    I have a 64GB Black iPhone 5 and a 32GB White iPhone 5, I have recently performed a fresh install (wiped phone memory and installed Apps individually again) yet even after this and no less then several calls to Apple I am still unable to create a genius playlist on either phone. The message I receive after hitting the Genius "star" is "The operation couldn't be completed. Operation timed out" Operation timed out."
    I have tried this also on 3G and receive the same message........

    Please note how Apple articulates this though.
    Check your settings
    Check the following settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

    Sometimes things have to be explained in more detail for the general consumer who has been conditioned for decades to think about wireless  cellphone audio / light data to [anything other device else] connectivity in a certain fashion. That is to say Bluetooth dependent ...
    For the non-technical person, which overwhelmingly many Apple users are, they would see that bulleted point and think if Bluetooth is not paired and active, then they would not received the full scope of their Continuity features.
    It would have been better for the copywriter who wrote this to (*) footnote this entry and explain that while Bluetooth recognition may be necessary between Yosemite and iPhone, SMS Push to iMessage and Mac Calling does not require an actively paired connection as these functions are dependent on iCloud and both devices being registered on the same WiFi network.
    Thank you to all who helped me get my mind around and figure this out.
    It has also opened my eyes to how iCloud has become a critical link in Apple's overall walled garden  and business strategy.
