Petition to add tracts to playlist w/o adding to selected on Touch/Mi

I often download entire CD's onto my Zen Touch before I listen to the songs. If there is a song I really like, I add it to my favorite playlists. The problem is that now you have to stop playing the song or CD to add to playlist.
It would be nice if you could select a song that is playing or saved, then add that song to a playlist, without stopping the music or having to open the playlist. Now you have to instead of having to stop playing the song, open up favorite playlist, find song, add song to selected, then save selected as a playlist, and go back to playing the CD or song again (takes way to long).

  • How do I add a new playlist to my ipod using iTunes 11?

    I recently was prompted to upgrad to iTunes 11, and while my immediate reaction is to hate it, I know I am just not used to it. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a new playlist onto my ipod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Sorry, for the late response..
    When I click on the iPod, it would open a page where my only option was to "sync everything". And "Playlist" wasn't an option along the tabs at the top.
    But I was able to open the sidebar, like the previous version of itunes and now am able to just drag and drop.
    Thank you! I am much less frustrated now

  • Cannot add a new playlist to my iphone - Help!!!

    I am not able to add a new playlist to my iphone.  I recently changed my computer, and when I choose the option to manually manage my music, I get a message that my phone is synced to a different itunes library, and if I sync to this library my content will be erased.  Obviously I did not continue.  I authorized this computer (which I had not done before), but I still cannot add a new playlist.  What can I do?

    I found this solution on a gogle discussion site, and it works.
    "In iTunes, right click the playlist on your iPhone then select "export" to export the playlist as a .txt file (I have 3GS with iOS5). 
    Then still in iTunes, select "File, Library, Import Playlist", navigate to and open the .txt file, and it will appear in the iTunes sidebar.
    I've tried to do this numerous times before.  Sorry if this is old news but I was so pleased I wanted to share it."
    After creating the playlists in your itunes library, sync your phone with the settings to manually manage your music (which will delete all the music from your phone), then drag the playlists back to your iphone.  You can then start manually managing music on your phone.

  • Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist

    Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist.

    Having the same problem. Album imported on CD won´t appear in my music on Itunes! It´s in the Itunes files and in the Recently Added folder, but it won´t appear!
    I can play it from the outside file! So frustrating.

  • 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?

  • My windows PCM has iTunes 11.0.4.4. I created a new playlist in iTunes and wanted to add it to my iPod nano. When I tried to add the new playlist iTunes wanted to wipeout all of my other playlists before it would allow me to sync!  Help!

    I don't want to lose my playlist already on the iPod so I won't click the sync box because it will delete all my lists. How can I add a new playlist without losing the others?  Can it be done?

    You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
    Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.
    Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

  • HT5649 how can you add a previous playlist from a different apple Id  both belong to the same person

    how can you add a previous playlist form a different apple ID, both belong to the same person

    It's ok to share the same AppleID for iTunes.  Use Separate ID's for iCloud, iMessage, and Facetime. 

  • Can't add to collaborative playlist

    I am trying to use the collaborative playlist feature for the first time. I made my playlist collaborative and sent the link to a freind. When she clicks on the link she goes to a URL on play.spotify.com and she can see the playlist but can't add to it. 
    She then made a playlist, made it collaborative and sent me her link. The same thing happens. I click the link, go to a play.spotify.com URL but can't figure out how to add to her playlist. 
    When I open my spotify app, I can not figure out how to see the collaborative playlist she sent me. 
    I am a premium user, signed in with facebook
    she is a free user, signed in withou facebook
    Plese hlep! We need to finish this playlist inthe next few days!
    Thank you. 

    Hey  -- welcome to the Community!
    If it's the first time you're using collaborative playlists, you might not know that you have to be Following it to be able to add it. As soon as you're Following it, you should be able to add tracks to it as you do any other playlist.
    If it's still not working though, try it in the desktop app, either by changing the URl to "open.spotify.com" rather than "play.spotify.com" in the address bar, or head into the web player settings and change links to open automatically in the desktop app.
    Hope that helps!

  • Add Music to Playlist

    After a few minutes using the desktop version (Windows 8.1, 64) the drag music to playlist won't work anymore: I need to close the app and open again. Same if I select the music, and choose to add in some playlist. I tried with different playlists, and the behaviour is the same. Att, Marcelo Santos. 

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No. Every song is in the Library, and a playlist is a subset of the Library.

    I am having a similar problem, however, I can add things to the dock, just not remove most of them. Tried killall Dock, restarting dock and restoring defaults with several third party apps, and searching the net for other ideas, but to no avail. With these efforts, I have not managed to get dock back to peak performance, but have added three of the same stack (recent applications) without any desire to do so. Help.

  • Can't add songs to playlists on iphone

    When I click on add to playlist, it gives me a selection of my playlists but I can't choose any of them! Clicking on them doesn't do anything.
    However I can add the song to a new playlist, but only one song..

    Don't just copy the songs. Copy the entire iTunes library.
    You need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from PC and replace /Music/iTunes/ on new computer.

    hey there lindseyroyal!
    I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing in iTunes with Windows 8. The article is for Windows Vista and 7, but the steps still apply in Windows 8. That article can be found right here:

    What sort of Playlist?
    You can only drag songs into regular Playlists, but not into Smart Playlists. In the picture below, the highlighted Playlists with the "musical note on paper" are regular Playlists, into which you can add songs:
    The Playlists with a "cog wheel" beside them are Smart Playlists. Songs are added to these lists according to the rules you set for that list. You cannot drag songs into them and if you try, you will see the red circle with the slash.
    Is this the problem?

  • MAC iTunes 11 search songs and add all to playlist?

    I used to be able enter a search term and find all songs then slect all and add or create a playlist.  What happened?  now a separate column opens and I try using cmd to select more than one - that doesn't work. Tried shift to slect all that doesn't work.  Wish there was a toggle to switch back to old interface.  Anyone know how to search and find a more than one at a time to add to a playlist?  I use to do that a lot! 

    I have a similar problem. Dozens of play counts are gone (but not ratings). It affects some songs that are of the kind "Purchased AAC audio file" rather than whole albums.
