Moving songs from within folder to main music direct

When I am looking at my list of songs on my Zen V player in Zen Media Explorer, many of my songs are in folders. When I double-click the folder to get to the song, I am not able to cut and paste the song to move it to the main Music directory on my player, so that it is not in a folder.
Isn't there a way to do this?

  • MOVING SONGS FROM PHONE TO SD CARD

    I have a Palm centro that I just syncd for the first time and moved songs from my computer to the phone but I want to know if I can move it to the sd card??  I have at&t with windows computer please.
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    You can move songs to the card via Hotsync, or if you download and install a freeware application called Filez, you should be able to do it directly on the Centro.  When you put them onto the card, you will want to put them into a file folder called audio right off the root directory of the card.

  • Moving Stack from one folder to another?

    Is there a way to keep a stack together while moving it from one folder to another. When I grab the stack and drop it to a folder, I view the folder and the images are no longer in a stack. It would save me a lot of time if they would stay stacked. Am I missing something?
    Thank you.

    Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
    To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
    That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i.

  • HT1386 moving songs from an iphone to a computer

    need help moving songs from an iphone to my computer

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use it to put everything back.

  • I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

    I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

    Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

  • Moving songs from a shared music library on my laptop to my desktop

    I have the music libraries shared. But I cannot drag songs from my laptop music to iTunes in my desktop. Why not? These are not iTunes purchased songs but songs downloaded off internet in flac format, converted to aiff and loaded into iTunes on my laptop. I can play them but I cannot drag them into the desktop library. I want to put them on my iPod, which syncs with the desktop. I guess I'll have to burn them to cd to put them on the desktop. But it seems I should be able to copy from one shared library to another.

    I have the music libraries shared.
    Just to be clear, there is plain ol' sharing, and then there is "home sharing", the latter being an extension of the former. So, you turn on sharing, and then enable "home sharing", per those other articles I referenced in a prior post.
    But if you are technically proficient, as JG said, copying the files using the Mac Finder is the best option. Preserves playlists, rankings, artwork, etc. The iTunes "home sharing" is really well suited for keeping two machines libraries synced and is probably a tad easier, but for that initial copying/moving of a library, doing it at the Mac Finder option is best, if a tad more complicated.

  • How to mass moving iviews from one folder hierachy to another within PCD?

    Hi,SDN fellows.
    I found that it is really not user-friendly to move iviews from one folder to another within PCD>
    I tried to use Multiple Property Replacement to move some iviews in one folder to different folder hierachy in PCD, but I don't really know how to do so.
    Do you mass moving iviews in PCD before? How do you able to do it more efficiently.
    Thanks for help.
    Kent

    Kyle, the PCD Inspector seems able to faster my process a lot.
    What if I want to mass edit some properties. (I thought Multiple Property Replacement would able to do some, but it couldn't)
    Said I need to change the Id of a set of iviews:
    my_iview_a
    my_iview_b
    my_iview_c
    my_iview_d
    to
    iview_a
    iview_b
    iview_c
    iview_d
    but the MPR doesn't able to use the asterisk (*) operation.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.

  • Having trouble moving songs from iPhone Music section to a playlist in 10.6.1

    I'm able to import songs from my computer to my iTunes just fine.  However, it seems that with version 10.6 of iTunes I can't drag a song from my iTunes Music section on my iPhone 4S to a playlist.  The song will highlight in the Music section but drag & drop are not working.  I don't recall having this problem in version 10.5 of iTunes.  Anybody else have this issue?  Is there a fix or do I have to wait for version 10.7?  Thanks for the assistance.

    Thank you for that. It all looks like it should work except for step 12:
    From the Advanced menu, choose Consolidate Library. A message appears that says: "Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes Music folder. This cannot be undone."
    There is no button that says consolidate library. Not even on the example picture they have.

  • Moving library from one computer to another, music on external hard drive

    Purchased 60GB iPod and imported approx. 50 GB of music into the library/iPod on Laptop 1. The music sits on an external hard drive (100mb). Laptop 1 only has 20gb drive. Everything was working fine, was able to import CD's listen to music everything that an iPod owner can do.
    Laptop 1 no longer recongnizes the music in the folders on the external hard drive. It sees the music folders (titles) but when you click on the folder it is empty- no songs inside the folder.
    Laptop 2 - hook up the external hard drive to it. Can see the music/songs within the folders. So laptop 1 can't see the music, yet laptop 2 can.
    The iTunes music library is sitting on laptop 1 - how do I get the library over to laptop 2? I can not use the iPod as a hard drive, since the iPod will try to go to the music folder (external)and get the music so it can "transfer" to laptop 2. When I put the iPod into "hard drive" mode it goes to the external hard drive and can't find the music/songs. It does not see the music within the folders.
    Both laptop 1 and 2 have 20gb hard drives. The external hard drive is 80gb, with only 23gb still available. I just upgraded laptop 1 from iTunes 5.0 to 7.0. I could use the new functionality to back up onto CD/DVD IF it could see the music/songs on the external hard drive.
    All the documentation I've read would work for me IF laptop 1 recognized the music/songs on the external drive. Since it does not does anyone have some ideas to help me get the iPod library from laptop 1 to laptop 2, not using the iPod as the hard drive?
    Thank you for any input.

    I've got the same type question. Is it possible to transfer my purchased songs from a computer at work via a flash drive? The firewall at work will not allow me to share files with my home computer, however, the computers at work download the songs I buy in about 15 seconds, my slow a** dial up at home takes over 15 minutes per song. I think this is still considered stealing, but I'm not sharing the songs with anyone, I just want to download them at work, then transfer them to my main home computer iTunes library.

  • Whole gallery disappear when moving it from another folder

    Hope i can get some clues here of something i find more than strange.
    I was working on Photoshop and moving some images within Bridge and i noticed my Iphoto Library was inside another subfolder, to clarify i keep it in an external drive. So i grab it (the libray) and drag it outside the other folder when i noticed i was actually copying the whole library outside.
    I stop the action and i moved the library instead, then i have a message saying that it was a folder already named 'Iphoto Library' in that location (the half copy one) and if i want to replace it, i press ok to replace, then its copying into new location...a window pops up and reads -error action cannot be continue- and the my whole library disappear. No original one nor even the copy bit, gone..
    I search through with every keywords, Trash, even making a search in finder for JPEG bigger than 100kb..
    I am talking here about over 20,000 pictures, so it is really strange if i'm not bump even into one image at all, and how a folder can just delete itself, specially a big one like that.
    It makes no sense.
    Any help?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Here's a tip: choose between iPhoto and Bridge. Using Bridg on photos managed by iPhoto makes it very easy to damage the iPhoto Library. So, one of the other is my first advice.
    So i grab it (the libray) and drag it outside the other folder when i noticed i was actually copying the whole library outside.
    When you move an item on the same volume then it just moves. When you move an item between volumes then it gets copied. This sounds like you've moved your Library from one volume to another.
    Were you doing these moves with Bridge or the Finder?
    o it is really strange if i'm not bump even into one image at all, and how a folder can just delete itself, specially a big one like that.
    It didn't delete itself, you deleted it, I'm afraid. It sounds like you made a partial copy then copied the partial copy over the original.
    Check out a file recovery software such as File Salvage

  • Had to reinstall OS and Itunes..Will not import songs from library folder

    I reinstalled my Windows 7 OS and Installed Itunes 10.6 but when I add my ipodmusic folder to the library it does not import the songs into the library. I tries dragging and dropping a few songs but it deletes them from the folder.
    Any ideas?

    I think I'm having the same problem. This is what I get when I try to import songs:
    The iPod “Ian” is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this I Pod with those from this library?
    Yes No
    What is this about? My buddy accidentally hit yes, and lost all of the songs on his iPod. I simply want to update my iPod with new material. This new material was obtained while using a different computer than what I originally used when I first got my iPod. Does anyone know how I can get music from a new computer on my iPod

  • Moving songs from external hard drive to Itunes library

    I have a bunch of songs on an external hard drive, but my itunes library is on my pc.....I tried to add some of these songs to my library (i played the songs and they were automatically added to the library)....but when i inplugged the external hard drive from my pc and tried to play the songs from the library, it would not let me play them.....an error message came up that stated that the library could not find the device from which the songs came from....why is this?....is there another way to add these songs from the hard drive????

    why is this?
    The Windows version of iTunes doesn't copy content to the iTunes Music folder when importing from another hard disk by default. Connect the drive and choose Consolidate Library from th Library section of the File menu.

  • Moving songs from itunes to iphone

    Before the last two updates I was able to move songs from itunes to my iphone 4s.  Now for the last two days when I attempt to move the songs not all of them are available once they are moved.  I will get some of the album but not all and in some cases they don't show up at all.   What is strange is that they show up on my iphone when it is connected to itunes under music.  They are not songs that show the cloud symbol they are songs that I have uploaded to itunes with cd's.
    thanks-Stuart 

    The iPhone will only sync music from one computer. Syncing to another will replace your playlists.

  • Moving songs from computer

    I am trying to move songs from my computer to iTunes. The songs are listed in the proper order in the file but the list order changes when transferred to iTunes. Is there any way to correct this?
    Secondly, is there a way to permanently delete the songs in the library so I can start all over. The library just keeps reappearing no matter what I do-even remove iTunes and then download it again.

    to delete the itunes library completely go to *My Documents* then go to *My Music* and delete the folder titled itunes. This will get rid of your itunes library completely
