Phantom songs showing up in smart playlists

When creating a smart playlist for a podcast recently, i noticed two songs showed up with that icon that says the file can't be found. I want to get rid of them, but I can't figure out where they are in my library. Apparently itunes still has these records in my library... somewhere, but the only place they show up is by matching the smart playlist search. Normal search, as in through the search box, doesn't turn them up.
Has anyone else had this happen? I would really like to "delete" these records, if for the sake of cleanliness than anything, but I can't find them except in the smart playlist, and you cannot delete through playlists, as far as I know.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9) iTunes 7.1.1

Hi,
I'm not sure about the odd files showing in Smart playlist and not in the library issue, but you can delete songs from the library via a playlist - just hold the alt (option) key and Delete key
Regards

Only a few songs show up in a playlist on my iPhone, even though all of the songs in the playlist are on my phone. How do I fix this?

I uploaded a playlist onto my iPhone. After going into Music, and into the specific playlist, only one song showed up in the playlist. After that, I decided to search my phone to see if any of the other songs had made it on there. All of the songs that were supposed to be on my playlist made it onto my phone. Why are they not showing up in my playlist if they are on the phone? Please help me!

Are you sure you have selected the PL? I too have had problems and then finally fiogured out which path to select to see the tunes. For some reason the PL got moved to a deeper level.

Mystery Podcasts Keep Showing Up in Smart Playlists

I use Smart Playlists to listen to Podcasts on my iPod Shuffles. It worked fine literally for years, but recently something changed.
Now when I make a Smart Playlist (I enter "Media Kind is Podcast")I get all my newly downloaded Podcasts, but I also get a list of about 50 podcasts that I deleted a long time ago. They are marked in the Smart Playlist as unavailable - iTunes says that it doesn't know where these Podcasts are located.
The problem is that they really don't exist at all. The original files are gone. They don't show up in Itunes (of course). They are also nowhere on my computer. I've done manual searches - looking through hundreds of folders where they might be located. I've also used the Windows Explorer Search feature to try to locate these files. They simply aren't anywhere on any of my hard drives. Therefore, I can't tell iTunes where they are located and I can't delete them. I can't delete them because they have already been deleted.
Yet, there is a reference to them in my iTunes library database file. There must be, or why would they keep showing up in a Smart Playlist? This is a real problem for me because it means I can't use Smart Playlists for my podcasts anymore.
Can anyone suggest a way to remove these podcast filenams from the iTunes database?
Thanks!
Doug

Hi, Katrina.
I just wanted to report back on what happened.
I created a new Smart Playlist with the parameters "Media Kind is Podcast", and just like always, I got a list of all my curent podcasts plus about fifty or so of these phantom podcasts.
I selected one of these phantom podcasts and tried Alt-Delete, but that didn't do anything. Just hitting Delete didn't do anything either. Nor did Ctrl-Delete. However, Shift-Delete worked like a charm. I got this message:
"Are you sure you want to remove the selected podcast from your iTunes library? This podcast will also be removed from any iPod or iPhone which synchronizes with your iTunes library."
I clicked on the "Remove" button (my options were "Remove" and "Cancel"). The podcast name vanished from the playlist and apparently it was also removed from the library database, because when I created another podcast Smart Playlist, that phantom podcast did not reappear.
I then went through the entire Smart Playlist and selected all of the phantom podcasts. I hit shift-delete, clicked on "Remove" and they all vanished and none of them returned. My Smart Playlists are back to normal and the problem is gone.
Apparently, Shift-Delete is the command for deleting podcasts (and songs, I assume) directly from a playlist. This works even if the orignal file has already been deleted and the listing is just a phantom listing in the database.
Whether Shift-Delete to delete directly from a playlist works on all computers, I don't know. It certainly worked on mine, which is a PC.
Thanks again, Katrina!

Can a TV show play in smart playlists on iPod?

I have a 80G iPod Classic. Apple released a free song video from Ryan Adams as a TV show. I like the song and would like it to play in my smart list music rotation. The TV show syncs to the iPod, and I can play it manually (I do have sync settings to transfer 'all' TV shows).
When I look through the iPod content on my Mac, the song shows in the playlist, but it does not show up in those exact same playlists on the iPod, only in the TV show list. It will come up in the normal rotation on the Mac.
This is a very minor annoyance, but am wondering if I have missed something in the settings or if this is just something that the iPod sees differently than the Mac and is not possible to accomplish.

Duh, just change the format to music video. Just found out this was unanswered while checking out another post.

Songs are there but smart playlists don't sync/work

I use my iPod Touch in my car and rarely sync it. I noticed that there were suddenly no songs on a few of my smart playlists. The songs were still on the iPod but the playlists said "No Music" when you tried to view them. The only playlist with songs on it is the "Purchased" playlist. You can still access all the songs by selecting the artist or album.
I brought the iPod in and synced it. Same problem.
I restored my iPod. Same problem.
I deleted and recreated my smart playlists, then synced. Same problem.
I restored the iPod again. Same problem.
Now I can't even get all the playlists to show up on my iPod.
Anybody have a clue what to do next?

I've been having the exact same problem for several months and have been unable to resolve it. I wanted to transfer my song library from my desktop computer to my laptop so I copied my library onto an external hard drive. I've tried searching Apple's online support articles with no luck and also spoke with an Apple support person who wasn't able to resolve my issue. I was going to try deleting my library from my external hard drive and uninstalling iTunes from my laptop and then starting over again but after reading your story I'm wondering if that will solve the problem. I'm getting very frustrated.

How to keep certain songs out of a smart playlist

I gave a onceover to the search and couldnt find anything related.. So here it is:
I've got a couple albums that I use while running and don't want the songs in them to be included in smart playlists i have setup for rating and play count. Is there any way to preclude those songs?

A cleaner solution is to create a playlist with your running albums, then update the other smart playlists with "Playlist" not in "Running Albums".
That way, you don't need to update each and every playlist when you add a new running album, you just need to put it in the Running Albums playlist.

HT1801 Just wondering, does iTunes update my Smart playlist with new songs?

Does iTunes update my Smart playlist with new songs each time I download it or do I have to manually update it myself? If I do, can someone walk me through it. Thanks a bunch

Yes that should work.
Are you using an "Artist is ..." rule? If so, and if new stuff by onerepublic isn't showing up in the list, check the Artist name on the new songs to make sure it's exactly matching the one in your rule.
For example, I've got music in my library (by the same people) under the artist names Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Godspeed You! Black Emperor ... (different position of the "!") If I set up a smart playlist based on:
Artist is Godspeed You Black Emperor!
It doesn't catch the songs with an Artist name of "Godspeed You! Black Emperor".
To get all the songs showing in a smart playlist, I'd need to adjust the Artist name on one or the other sets of songs so it matches a rule. (Haven't done that myself yet for GYBE, because I haven't worked out where the exclamation mark is actually supposed to go.)

Is there a way to combine two Smart Playlists without dragging each individual song from one list to the other?

Is ther a way to Combine two Smart Playlists without dragging and dropping each song into the other Smart Playlist?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

With the timeline selected, go to File/Export/Movie and export each as a DV-AVI video.
You can then combine those AVIs into a new project with virtually no loss of quality.

ICloud Adds Unwanted Songs to Smart Playlist

I have set up a Recently Added smart playlist on my Mac limited to include albums/songs I added in the past 30 days. It synchronises fine from iTunes to iPhone when I do so manually. But a day or two after switching on iTunes Match I get a welter of other songs (each time it seems to be the same songs) added to the playlist on my iPhone, while the playlist on my Mac remains as it should be.
The only way to remedy this is to switch off iTunes Match on the Mac and iPhone and sync manually again.
Most perplexing and bloody irritating.
Any ideas what might be going wrong?

You change the parameters of the list. There's no way to add songs directly to a Smart Playlist.
Regards.

Why won't some of my songs show up on playlists?

I recently decided to reorganize my playlists. I put as many songs as I wanted in the playlists on iTunes, but when I synced my iPod, only about a third of the songs show up in the playlists on my iPod. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks!

Hi James -- I really have not used the @me.com, nor the @icloud.com (those were set up for me by Apple). The ones that go to my HP are the gmail.com and the aol.com ones. Interesting that, when my HP is shut down, THEN the emails come to my iPad3 and iPhone5. Maybe I need to take everything into Apple and have them look at my settings?

Problem with ratings-based smart playlists in iOS5.

I use ratings-based smart playlists to organize my music. For example, a typical smart playlist will include all songs from a given genre rated 3 stars or better. Playlists work perfectly on PC/iTunes and iPad (and used to work perfectly on iPhone/iPod before iOS5), but on iPhone 4S (iOS5) and iPod touch (iOS5), only the lowest-rated songs show up; higher rated songs omitted from the smart playlist. However, I also always have a playlist that has the higher ratings. So the songs are on the iPhone/iPod, but just not in all the correct playlists. Anyone have help for me? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem-- my "Smart Playlists" don't seem to update. I created a new smart playlist with a single artist, and nothing comes into it-- so if I make one just for artist=devo, for example, no tracks come through despite their being hundreds.
I also employ smart playlists on my podcasts-- so when plays=1, it disappears from the list. These are not updating, despite my making no changes to them other than upgrading to iTunes 10.
My "recently played" list DOES seem to be updating, and I don't understand why I'm seeing this despite making no changes.

I copied a smart playlist to a regular playlist in order to change the order of the individual selections. I then burned the regular playlist to a cd, but the cd burned it in alphabetical order as it appears on the smart playlist.

I changed the order, then burned a cd but the cd copied the songs in the order of the smart playlist, which was alphabetical. What am i doing wrong in this scenario, and is there a way to change the song order in a smart playlist? I am a new MAC user. Is this unique to the MAC format?

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.

2 iPods on 1 PC with different smart playlists

MAybe it has been already posted but I can't find it...;-(
I have an iPod Mini and I want to purchase a new iPod 5G.
How can I run these two ipods on my PC (without having to make a 2nd account on XP?
- The 5G should have all songs and some specific smart playlist.
- The Mini should only have some songs and different smart playlist.
