Multiple Songs in Playlist

Managed to add a playlist to the iDVD main menu, but it only play the first 2 songs of the iTune playlist. The playlist contains 6 songs.

Welcome to the forums.
In older versions of iDVD, the user was limited to a half-minute of audio for the menu, and so there was a challenge to make that music loop smoothly. You will have very patient viewers if they will be spending such a long time (6 songs) looking at your menu. My suggestion is to make those songs into a movie or slideshow they can play from the menu.
More specifically, you may have run into the max limit for menu items.

Selecting multiple songs for Playlist or deletion...

this one's probably pretty easy, but how do you select multiple songs in the Music Library to be able to use in a new Playlist or to delete...I can't seem to find the right keystrokes for this....

Command-click to select multiple items or click the first one and Shift-click the last one if the items are consecutive.
Then press Delete to delete them or choose 'New Playlist from Selection' in the File menu (Shift-Command-N) to create a playlist of the selection.
You can find most shortcuts in the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' of the' Help' menu.
Hope this helps.

How to delete multiple songs within playlist

Hi does anyone know how to delete multiple songs within a playlist on OS or Mac?? I have reached the limit in songs I can play offliine and would like to delete some of the songs that are on my playlist. For example the last 100 songs. I dont want to indiviually sit here and delete them one by one. Thanks Ray

On ios i think the only way is to edit the playlist by clicking on the three dots. I dont own a mac, but on windows you can hold control and select the songs you want to delete. Or select a song, go to the last song you want to delete, hold shift and click on the song.

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones!

How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the one with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones! I am using the "new" iTunes.

For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud."

From my music how do i move multiple songs at once to a playlist

From( My Music) how do I move multiple songs at once to a playlist.
Thanks

Your issue has nothing to do with Apple networking. You may get better results in getting a solution if your post your issue to the iTunes area of the Apple Support Communities.

Is there NO way to select multiple songs to go into a Music Playlist at once, vs doing it one by one?!

Argh. So irritating how something that should be very simple and intuitive results in useless calls to Sprint (my carrier) and BB. with endless holds, transfers, pasing the buck,and still no results. Then I'm suggested to go to the Forums...you know...where other paying BB customers can try tp provide the IT support that BB apparetnly could care less to do for its paying customers?
Anyway, I want to have multiple playlists in my BB Music so that when I host parties, I can play a particular type of music by selecting one of the playlists. I was able to move songs to my BB but they only seem to move to the general Music Library (All Songs). I was able to create Playlists, but it seems you can only move songs to the Playlist ONE AT A TIME. There is apparently no way to select multiple songs to go to a playlist? No way to move an entire folder of music from my PC to my BB songs, as its own separate sub-folder (i.e., Playlist)?
I know I've been able to do this with other devices in the past.
Otherwise the BB Music Playlist options seems totally pointless.

Changing multiple songs on a playlist causes app to crash?

Whenever I have a playlist that I want to delete around 10 songs from and I start deleting them, the Music App crashes and the playlist is returned to how it was before I started editing it. This also happens if I move songs around and then delete some songs. The original song order is restored. Anyone else experiencing this?

I haven't tried deleting multiple songs from a playlist, but I'm experiencing the same issue with moving songs around within a playlist. I move them to where I want them, but they don't stay there! Ugh!

Being able to select multiple songs at a time and then able to add them to a desired playlist/s after that would save an enormous amount of time..especially after saving over 100 songs before sorting them out.

Selecting or de-selecting multiple songs in check boxes in playlist

What's the trick for selecting or de-selecting multiple songs via check boxes in playlists, etc.?
Figured this would be an easy one to figure out on my own, but here i am a few years later...
Be easy on me, now.

just select all the songs you want to check-uncheck and then control click (or right click) and select check-uncheck selection.
hope this helps.

How do I "check" multiple songs at same time?

I'm trying to backup my itunes library to DVD, but itunes will only burn songs from a playlist if the box is checked. I have 900+ songs that are unchecked that I need to backup. I realize I can just re-import them from the original CD, but then I will also have to rate the songs all over again.
A. How do I check multiple songs, or...
B. Is there another way to backup the ratings data for each song?

Highlight all the songs that you want, you could hit command+A to select them all.
Then right click, or control+click and choose "Check Selections"

How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

How to delete multiple duplicates of multiple songs?

How to delete multiple duplicates of multiple songs from my library at the same time, rather than each individually?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Organization Problems. Can no longer put songs in playlists.

First
"Why am I reposting my earlier question?"
ANSWER:
1. I had to post my question a second time because as you can see my first post isn't showing as a question anymore nor does it allow me to recheck the "box" that turns my post into a question.
2. I received suggested answers via a "popup". The answers were dated 2006 and 2008.
3. While some questions may be able to have answers from that long ago, my question requires a 2011 answer.
I knew how to drag songs to my playlist in 2008!
4. The saddest part is while Apple is sending me expired answers from 2006 and 2008, Ask.com already has a thread on this subject.
Second: Please help me with my original question.
How do I select multiple songs and move them to a playlist?
1. I was shocked when I went into Itunes and I could not drag any of my songs from one playlist to another. I clicked and tapped and held down the cntrl/shift key. Until yesterday, I would have told you I was extrememly confident in my Itunes skills. It is one thing to not realize that this would be a problem but then to have NOTHING in the "help box" that addressed this common issue.
2. I teach "Writing in the Workplace" so I know that I exhausted the Itunes "help" box as well as anyone could.
3. I manually manage my music and I am going to continue to manually magage my playlists due to organizational needs.
4. AND I need to move songs to playlists WITHOUT activitating Ping.
5.. I feel like Apple is bullying me into using PING. I say this because the Itunes help section DOES have instructions on how organize my playlist IN PING.

Thanks for responding!
My question is the Headline and Is repeated as the 2nd header.
Second: Please help me with my original question.
How do I select multiple songs and move them to a playlist?
I have songs in my "music" playlist and all I need to do is move them to my "marathon" playlist.
Obviously, there has been an upgrade that changed the basic operation something that has my songs locked in place. However, nothing appears in the "help" that remotely answers my question.
I am just really sad it has taken me so long for something so simple and that I had to post here for something that should have been in "help" before the change was allowed to even happen.
Soooo....too make a short question even longer I had to run my 1/2 marathon without music this morning and I am not closer to getting those pesky music files to move from one playlist to another.
Hope you can help! I got so many hits last night but no one even said "boo". I think it is because my first message was marked "solved"

How to not add songs from Playlists to the library (duplicate entries)

In my iTunes library, I have lots of songs showing up more than once. When I right-click Get Info it seems this is because I have them on playlists that are also in the library. Songs in multiple playlists can even show up more than twice.
I know I can Show Duplicates but it would take me ages. Also I can't tell which songs are direct, and which are from a playlist, unless I right-click and Get Info individually (it probably doesn't matter, but I'd prefer to delete the playlist songs).
How do I edit the preferences so that this doesn't happen, and songs in playlists aren't added again? I looked around preferences and couldn't find anything that seemed to be what I needed.

"Go to Library - Music and click Show duplicates.
Select a duplicate and right click - Show in Windows Explorer.
Everything in the library should be pointing only to an actual file on your HD, not a song in a playlist."
...I'm not sure if you're saying that iTunes shouldn't be behaving like this, but it IS. I followed your instructions, selected Library - Music and clicked Show Duplicates... what I see is 511 entries, most in pairs, some triplets.
Here's an example:
Two identical entries (bitrate, files size, duration, etc., all the same) for Get Me by Everything But The Girl... clicking Show in Explorer for the first entry opens an Explorer window with the filepath:
D:\Music\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
...clicking the second entry opens the SAME Explorer window with the same contents but with the filepath:
D:\Music\My Playlists\..\Everything But the Girl\Amplified Heart
So are you saying that the only way to eliminate these duplicate entries is to individually click each one and check if it's pointing to the original song file or to a playlist that includes that song and then delete it manually? ...for 511 entries? ... and how do I prevent this from happening with any new music I add?

How to download multiple songs at once on iPhone?

I have many songs on my iphone that need to be downloaded from cloud (I use iTunes Match) to my device. Is there a way to do so automatically and/or download multiple songs at once without downloading them one at a time?

When you are viewing an Album, Artist or Playlist there is a "download all" button a the top of the list. Just tap it.
