Media Go Playlist Sort

Hi,
Media Go's playlist function is not user friendly at all. Even so, Media Go is the only music library that is able to transfer playlists succesfully. That said, it should seriously implement a "sort playlist" function or "update playlist order". In Media Go, the only thing you can do is sort them just to view (i.e. sort according to artist/song title) but the sorting order will not be saved in the playlist itself. This is especially troublesome since I constantly update my library every month or so with new songs and like to sort my playlist according to song title. Everytime I try to put the new songs in the playlist, it always ends up at the bottom of the list and never according to A-Z.
I hope any of the staff sees this or anyone in the forum that could suggest a workaround to this problem.
Thanks

Recently Played Playlist sorting

Hello
I recently bought a 6th generation ipod nano...On syncing the nano to my PC I found that the Recently Played playlist sorts in alphabetical order by artist on the ipod but sorts by most recent on itunes...Is there a way to change the sort on the nano? I have already gone into the items under the nano on itunes and changed it in there but the nano does not change.
thanks

but it does not work, the playlist is not correct.
Delete the rule saying "Playlist is Music" and see what you get.
Also, make sure you have it set for Live Updating.

You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
You still need a backup of that Library.
Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

Ios 5 playlist sorting problem

I'm having a problem with my iPhone 4S playlist sort order after restoring from a backup from my iPhone 4. I have several playlists that I want sorted first, so I've put numbers in front of them. On my iPhone 4, the playlist sort order is correct:
1
2
3
4
A
B
C
However on my iPhone 4S the order is:
A
B
C
1
2
3
4
I can't seem to be able to put my numbered ones first anymore! Anyone know what the problem is or a solution?

(HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod

How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod
We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. . or can they help us? PL E A SE E E HELLPPP!

tt2,
Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>
        <meta name="ItemCount" content="161"/>
        <author/>
        <title>Power Surge</title>

        <seq>
            <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 2\13 Out of Control.wma" tid="{650561AF-AA9D-4EA3-84CC-2F09C24DF3B3}"/>
            <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\12 One Step Closer.wma" tid="{EE5ADD9D-A879-404A-BC60-CE841045BCB6}"/>

Now I went and switched the part from <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

ITunes Match Smart Playlist sorting on iOS7 by date added?

Playlist works find on iTunes.
Messed up on both iPad + iPhone
Criteria basically sorts by genre, and only for songs added within X months.
I have tried to add the criteria "Kind = music", and also limiting to 9999 songs, sorted by date.
The first few songs are correct and in the right order, but after that there are just random songs.
Any ideas?

Hi guys, i have cracked it!!
Ok, manage music manually on your iphone, plug into your computer in itunes to do all this
. In each playlist, Sort by date added latest date at top of page
. On yr iphone, make a new playlist, call it ie: chill 2 or pop 2 etc
. Grab the chill playlist from iphone playlist and drag all into chill 2 folder
. Delete chill playlist from iphone
. Rename chill 2 playlist to be 'chill' same name as itunes playlist so it can sync when you sync again
I did this with all my playlists, within the iphone itself whilst connected to computer itunes, now on my iphone, i see all my playlists as date added not alphabetical!!
This has annoyed me for ages!! So glad i cracked it!! Found no answers on the internet, but so many people asking!!
Cheers and goodluck

[Playlists] Sorting my playlists (not sorting songs, artists, etc within playlists)

When I first got my Spotify account I could created a playlist and they were automatically listed (sorted) alphabetically. It worked great for me. All of my playlists I denoted iWorkout, iFocus, iChill, iWakeup, etc. Then followed up with the genre of music last, for example... iWorkout - Rap, iWorkout - Rock, etc. If I was working out all of my workout lists were grouped. If I needing to focus, to chill, to wakeup! I could easily find what I wanted. At some point an update came through and all of my playlists are listed by creation date?? I guess?? Sucks monkey balls. Now my playlists are all over the place and the ones that I use the most I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find, why? Because I created them first... and we can't even sort ascending or descending by creation date. It's just dumb - my opinion. It's been months... I assumed others would complain for me, but it's not returned or been enhanced. So, here's my complaint. Please return the sorting to alphabetical or give us the option to sort them as we prefer, by date created, by alphabet, by last accessed, or whatever others may be asking for. Thanks-so-much

Still no Playlist sorting options-Deal breaker.

I have been a strong supporter of Spotify since the beginning. In fact, I pay for 2 (that's right 2) Premium accounts in my household. That is about to change. The lack of easy Playlist sorting is unforgiveable. I can't count how many times I've almost wrecked my car looking for my Chet Baker playlist and have to scroll down down down when it could be easily found if I could sort things alphabetically. It's a basic function and I could swear it used to be available. It's too bad because I absolutely love Spotify otherwise. So any recommendations on a service that is similar to Spotify but has the very basic and standard function of sorteable lists/folders? Thanks a ton!

I can sort my giant list of playlists by name, date etc. but can't find a way to do this while using the Windows version of Spotify on my laptop. This is silly.

Podcast Playlist Sort issue

I wish I had not downloaded iTunes 9. When I synced my iPod to the new update the playlist I have of Podcasts is now sorted by Artist, when in iTunes it is sorted by date, which I prefer. Also, other playlists containing podcasts (like KEXP Song a Day) push those items to the bottom, and again sort by artist.
If this is how it's going to be in iTunes 9, is there a way to get 8 back?

Perhaps this has to do with the podcast itself or the way you made your playlists. I made mine manually. I noticed that when I went in to the podcast section, iTunes was wanting to download podcasts that I already have. So if your playlists are auto playlists that could be the reason.
The podcasts I've collected are for learning a new language, so they are not time dependent. If you are looking for a continuous update, you might have to wait for Apple to fix the problem. If not, you could simply make manual playlists and then try changing the media type again.
I sympathize with you though. My iPod was very organized before this upgrade. I will be making fixes for a while.

How can I make a smart playlist sort album by artist in order of size?

I'm trying to figure out a way to make a playlist of songs I generally like from a very large library to fit on my iPod. The songs aren't rated, and I don't want to have a totally random selection chosen by a smart playlist.
I thought a good way to pare down the list would be to sort album by artist, and then filter that list in order of the size that each artist takes up. It's more important to get rid of an artist that I don't like that also hogs a lot of space than one that maybe only has one track. I figure if I could scan down the list and exclude the worst offenders, it conceivably would make the task much simpler.

I'm trying to figure out a way to make a playlist of songs I generally like from a very large library to fit on my iPod. The songs aren't rated, and I don't want to have a totally random selection chosen by a smart playlist.
I usually make two playlists.
One playlist with favorites I do want on the iPod and another smart playlist to fill the rest of the iPod. Just limit the size to th esize of the iPod minus wthe size of my iPod selection playlist.

Creative Zen 32GB playlist sorting

I just bought the plain Zen 32GB. Not the Zen this or that. Just plain Zen. When I go to manage playlists on my computer (Windows XP), the only way I can see to sort playlists is by dragging items up and down. There have to be other ways that I'm missing here. I would expect to be able to sort a large playlist by any column order or randomly but I can't find those features. Where are they?
Thanks.

Yep. I know I can shuffle the player so that things are mixed around when they play. I want to randomize the playlist. I have some playlists I want to play in random order and some I want to play in the order They belong in. For example, I would not want an audio book that is split into tracks to shuffle. That would be stupid. But I do want my Beatles collection to play in random order. It's my understanding from reading other posts (about other Zen players) that playback is either shuffled or it's not. You cannot specifiy shuffle mode per playlist. It's eitehr all or none. So you have to turn it on and off depending on which playlist you're playing. If that's teh case, then it's pretty useless to me. You guys should look at WinAmp. For over 0 years it's given users the ability to BOTH shuffle and randomize - 2 totally different features but both are very useful. I can create a playlist and then randomize it so that it plays the list in teh order it's showing but the list has been mixed up permanently until I organize it again a different way. Shuffle simply plays the list in a random order. They are not the same thing but have similar results. it would sure be nice if you'd add that in a firmware update since it's just a software issue.

Bug: iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 podcast smart playlist sort order and how to fix.

There seems to be a bug in iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 involving the sort order of a smart playlist of podcasts. I created such a playlist and sorted by release date on iTunes but I noticed it had a different sort order on the iPod Touch.
After playing around with it a bit I found that the only way to preserve the sort order that I have in iTunes on the iPod Touch is to uncheck "Live Updating" in the smart playlist.

Confirming this incredibly annoying bug. Basic list sorting not working... real bottom shelf work apple.
workaround update: limit to must be turned on, set it to an absurdly high number if you don't want to actually limit the playlist, then one of the sortby options in that submenu will work. The live update checkbox is irrelevant from experimentation.
This workaround does NOT fix the fundamental problem: sort order from itunes in smart playlists is not being synced and preserved in ios5 devices.
This is the latest in a long string of debacles which is making me seriously consider swapping to debian stable. (snow leopard to lion was a severe downgrade in performance for anyone doing heavy multitasking.. scheduling is FUBAR... when a command option escape beachballs on a brand new core 17 machine, your OS has serious problems with nice levels)
