Rearrange tracks inside a playlist (Android)

On my iPod I can manually move my songs around that are in my playlist, but I can't do the same on my phone which is what I mostly use. It would be easier to have that option on all devices.

Update after update after update and still not there.
After "Ivy" had linked me a "live" version of a song for no reason, I found the proper version and was able to queue it onto the playlist but can't move it to where I want it to be.
Incidentally at least Spotify playilsts are easier to make and maintain than youtube ones. On there if I want to move a song to a specific position I have to move every single item above it to the bottom of the list in turn.
And I can't cut and paste a load of ids to make a playlist there either. Have to use their stupid interface and enter them one at a time...
The simplest way would be to add an option to the song "Move to.." then you can click on the track you want to insert it before. (It is automatically at the end).
Incidentally an easier way to remove the current song from the playlist and skip to the next one would be appreciated too.

Rearranging track order in playlists

Before I totally lose my mind can someone please tell me how to put playlist tracks into the order that I want them to play in when I copy to mp3 player.

First, click on the left most column header, the one with the numbers. Then, make sure Shuffle is turned off. Then, you can drag and drop the tracks into any order you wish.

Rearrange order of tracks in a playlist

I have a playlist that I've added songs to, and rearranged by dragging the tracks into different orders. At some point I clicked one of the column titles (Track, Artist, Album..) and it was reorganized by that label. I can no longer drag tracks into a particular order. Is there a way to restore the playlist to that original order that I was editing before?

To add a track to a playlist, you can right-click on it and choose a playlist from the "Add to" option, or just drag it to the correct playlist on the left.
If you're looking at a playlist, you can drag the tracks around to re-order it. If a track won't move, make sure that your playlist isn't in some predefined order like sorted alphabetically or by date added. If there's an arrow next to any of the column labels, click that label until there is no arrow anymore. You should be able to drag tracks to new locations in the playlist now.

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

Manual tracks progression in playlists

Hi everybody,
i'm italian so sorry for my english.
The question is: I absolutely need to disable the automatical progression of the tracks in a playlist. I want that at the end of any track the playback stops, and then I want to decide when to restart from the next track.
In winamp this is possible, actually I left windows for mac OS X (10.6), but I really need this option for my work.
Hopefully that i'll read a solution quickly (before sunday... I know it's late!!!), i thank everybody

Remove the check marks beside all the songs in the list. Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. Hold down the Command key (⌘) and click on the check box beside any song in a list and the check marks will be toggled on or off: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts

Unable to drag imported CD tracks to a playlist.

All of a sudden I am unable to track imported CD tracks to a playlist in iTunes On my Mac Pro. This is the first time I've had this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can only sync/manually manage with one computer at a time.
You need to sync the iphone to the new computer ( erasing the current content from the iphone) and replacing content with the new computer.
Make sure you copy everything from the backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

I have an iPod 5thGen 30 GB. My tracks on my playlists are rarely in the correct order on the iPod, tho the order is correct when viewed on iTunes.

I have an iPod 5thGen 30 GB. My tracks on my playlists are rarely in the correct order on the iPod, tho the order is correct when viewed on iTunes. Is there anything I can do?

It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes. So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes. Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,

Can't add tracks to existing playlists using iTunes for Windows11.1.5.5

The tried and true method of right clicking a track, selecting "Add To Playlist" and selecting a playlist no longer works. There's not response to the end of the process. I'm just back in the original view of the library. When I check the playlist, the track hasn't been added. I don't know what the purpose of the "check box" is but I made sure the original track was checked before attempting the add.
(I searched for an existing thread here and on the Web but couldn't find where others have posted this issue.)

thanks for the info on the checkboxes. They just seemed redundant to me
If you use this feature, as shown in my previous screenshot, then unticking a song will cause it to be removed from your iPod at the next Sync, but left in your Library. Leave the ticks turned on.

"By the way, on the right-click/Add to Playlist, the Playlist Folders are also listed, but you cannot add a song to a Playlist Folder." If that's the case, what function does that option on the menu perform?
The Playlist Folders are a method of grouping Playlists together, making them easier to find. The reason they are shown in the right-click is to make the Playlists easier to find. Look at the screenshot below, all the "Sleep" Playlists are in my "Sleep Time" folder.

If you have the Sidebar on (CTRL+S), the Songs View:
... and simply drag the song to any Regular Playlist.

Order of tracks in a playlist

I used to be able to re-arrange tracks in a playlist by dragging them - I now can't - they just won't move! Please help

Each track of each playlist is listed. How do I turn this off?

I recently bought a new CD and imported the tracks into the iTunes library. (I was not internet connected at the time so I entered track information prior to starting the import).
After the import completed, I clicked on the leftmost button on the bottom which is supposed to create a new playlist. The display changed to show every track of every playlist that I had. I have so many playlists, that it was very difficult to find the new (unnamed) playlist.
Why are all my playlists listed track by track and how do I turn off this behavior. Anybody out there who can help with this issue.

You might have repeat turned on. To turn it of open up your music app and tap the two looping arrows on the left under your song progress meter until they turn white. If that dosent help you might just have to delete your playlist and then rebuild it.

Delete (as in Trash) a track from a playlist view?

Because I so despise Apple's new segregated libraries (I'd be okay if I could just shift a few tracks from one auto(cratic) category to another without major effort), I am toying with creating smart playlists of my various genres to ease my browsing. The problem is, there isn't any way (that I know of) to delete a track from a playlist. And I mean delete as in "remove from the library, ask me if I want to move it to the trash" delete, not "remove from the playlist" delete.
Does anyone know of a way to do this (easily)?
It almost seems like a philosophical issue -- I mean, why isn't there a "trash" option in the contextual menu for a track wherever I'm viewing it? There's a clear logic for deleting a track from a regular playlist meaning that it is only removed from that playlist, but left in the library. But in a smart playlist, when I hit delete, I can't remove it from the playlist -- delete has no functionality. I noticed this when playing with iFlicks, which does let you trash a video while viewing it in a smart playlist -- which intuitively made sense to me.
I honestly only go into the library view when I need to throw things out anyway, so having it segregated (and unpredictably, since it's based on filetype rather than genre -- i.e. underlying and indeterminant format, rather than conceptual and -- hopefully -- determinant metadata) makes it hard to predict where a track may end up.
Thoughts?

Bob, that does indeed solve the question. The panting rage has subsided, to be replaced by mere indignation.
Thanks!

ITunes becomes unresponsive when tracks added to playlist

I've had trouble with iTunes (10.3.1) for a long time. When I add tracks to a playlist iTunes often becomes unresponsive for a few minutes, even if it's just a couple of short tracks (mp3s), and sometimes it doesn't recover and has to be forced quit.
I have the Sound Check option unchecked. My library is around 49,000 tracks.
Any ideas?

I'd love an answer to this, too. Running itunes 10.1.1.4 and iOS 4 on a 3GS phone. I haven't upgraded to iOS 4.2 because the original update to 4 was a disaster.
