Saving a list of songs

I'm using the latest version of iTunes. I noticed it's possible to print out a list of songs of your music library of from a playlist.
But is it also possible to save such a list as an excel- or wordfile?

The easiest way is to highlight all tracks (or the ones you want) and Edit > Copy. Open Excel and Paste. The songs will appear in neat columns according to what was displayed when you did the Copy. You can adjust as you wish and then print from Excel.
You can also paste into Word, but it does not look quite as neat. Also, if you use Word, remember to use Paste Special > Unformatted Text, or else it will default to pasting in the files which is not what you want and may lock up the machine.

My iPhone has my daughter's music but those same songs do not show up on the computer in the list of songs on my iPhone. They are in the library though

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered.

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered or they show 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.

Poor metadata needs to be corrected if the album is to display properly in iTunes. iTunes sees an "album" as any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist isn't set). Each track of the album should have distinct Track V of W and Disc X of Y vaules. W,X,Y are optional, but X may be needed for multi disc albums.

How would I export a list of songs on an iPod to a text file?

I found one of my old iPod shuffles that's synced to an old PC that is long gone... I'm looking for a way to export what's currently on the iPod Shuffle as a text file or something so I can remember that "phase" in my life in the form of a playlist. I used to be able to do this in iTunes 10, but not quite sure how in 11+. Does anyone know how to do this?

If you are able to connect the shuffle to iTunes and show its list of songs, it may be best to take a screen shot of iTunes window at max size. Scroll the list and take additional screen shots as needed.
NOTE: There is a command in the menu bar to
File -> Library -> Export Playlist...
Give this command with the shuffle's Music list selected in the sidebar. However, this command is meant to create a text file that is later imported into iTunes, so it is not formatted to be nicely readable to human eyes.
iTunes 11.x may hide the sidebar (along left side of window). To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. To show the list of songs on the shuffle...
• If the shuffle is 3rd or 4th gen, find the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle's name, to drop down its content list (indented below the shuffle). Click on Music there.
• If the shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, the shuffle itself is one playlist. Select it in the sidebar, under DEVICES, so that its Settings screen is shown to the right. Toward the top, where is says "Settings," click on On This iPod (to the right).
You can actually off-load the song files from the shuffle. You cannot use iTunes to do this (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store), but there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on the computer's drive, I suggest you create a new playlist in iTunes, and name it appropriately (like "Old iPod Songs"). Show the song files in an Windows Explorer window, and drag them to that playlist in the iTunes window. iTunes will add the songs to the (general) iTunes library, but that playlist will only show the songs that were on the shuffle. And you can actually play the songs for a shot of "nostalgia" (not just look at their names).

HT1923 I have just updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist when I burn a list to cd. How do make a cd case cover or list of songs?

I just recently updated itunes and now I can't print the playlist or print a cd case cover. I want to at least print a list of songs to go in the cd case. How do I do that?

beggsc54, There were some printing bugs in iTunes 11.0 which reportedly have been fixed in 11.0.1. If you haven't upgraded yet, install the latest iTunes and try again.

How do I preview songs within iTunes list of songs on my iPod Shuffle?

I want to hear what songs are on my iPod shuffle with their listed title , so I know what to keep and what to delete.
Because, when you know you want to delete some songs, but do not remember all the titles.

Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. The next step depends on whether your shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, or if it is 3rd or 4th (current) gen. If you don't know, this article shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
1st or 2nd gen - Look over to the right and click on the Contents tab. That screen shows the list of songs currently on the shuffle. You should be able to play them off the list. With a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, when you do this, you are actually playing the song file that is in your iTunes library (on computer), not the song file that is currently stored on the shuffle (but they should be the same).
3rd or 4th gen - Click on the little triangle next to the shuffle (in sidebar) to "drop down" the iTunes media categories (indented under shuffle). Select Music. Over to the right, you should see a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle. If you have the shuffle set to Manually manage music (on the shuffle's Summary tab), you should be able to play them off the list. If you use automatic syncing, the song list should be visible, but "grayed out" (not accessible); you need to play the songs from the playlist(s) you sync automatically to the shuffle (in your iTunes library).

List of songs on my iPod

Occasionally, I want to edit the album names, etc. for the songs already on my iPod...since I updated to 7, I cannot figure out how to see a list of songs that are on my iPod like I can with the songs that are in my library. Please help.

no, there is contents. i just figured it out.
to recap: i had 2 problems: one was that i couldn't see the contents of the shuffle. the other was that i couldn't eject my shuffle. when i tried to eject, i kept getting the message that i couldn't eject because an application was using the files on the ipod. when i clicked the icon of my shuffle i got the picture of the ipods with the heading "ipod + itunes," as i recall. there were no settings or content tabs.
now i realize there were no tabs because i had not finished the registration of the shuffle on my pc. i had registered the shuffle on the website without using itunes. i didn't realize that there was more i needed to do in itunes because i couldn't see all of the buttons in my window. when i followed through with the registration in itunes all the way to the end, the 2 tabs were revealed and the songs that i had already loaded on the shuffle were listed in "contents." and, i was able to eject the shuffle. apparently itunes (or whatever) was still looking for a completed registration and wouldn't release the shuffle. sigh.
if you can not see the settings and contents tabs in itunes when you click your shuffle in devices or you can not eject the shuffle, look at the window with the picture of the ipods in itunes. there is more below. complete the registration (i had already done so on the web earlier, but my itunes was not complete.).
thanks to everyone for your help.

I purchased a song on iTunes and it is displayed in my list of SONGS. However, when I try to add to my iPhone 4, it displays with a small circle of dots to the left of the song title and will not play. How do I get this song onto my device?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

Some songs on iTunes have swears in them but are not marked with an "EXPLICIT" sign. Is there a possible way for you to fix this? And is there some way for me to send a list of songs that I have come across so that customers know what they're buying?

This can be done easily with ethernet.
Please follow the instructions strictly.
To make it easier I want you to do this overnight so you can turn off all your current connection to the internet.
Just go to the airport fan in to the top right and turn airport off.
Get ethernet cable and connect the laptop to the TC lan port.. ie <-> ones.
Press and hold the reset on the TC for about 10sec. until the front led flashes rapidly.
Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup and change the wireless to off. (so other people around you cannot join your network of one).
Ignore all the errors.. they won't stop the backup working.
Go to the TM and reselect the backup target disk as the TC.
It should start after 2min and run through to completion.
That is it.. for a backup of many GB it might take a few hours.. so make sure the laptop has power plugged in and the sleep is off.. (on early ones I think this is needed but I am a late arrival to the scene).. sleep doesn't affect later OS.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

I was reviewing my list of songs in my library "on my I-Pod". I noticed that a few of the songs on the list have an Exclamation Point in front of the track, and the track won't play. How do I get rid of the Exclamation Point so that the track will play.

Hello enrique a.
Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel on this one, take a look at an article such as this one to help you take care of these exclamations. Basically, it means iTunes is unable to locate the file on your computer anymore.

HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically. I do not want this. How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.
