Send a song directly to a existing playlist on my ipad

It seems, on ipad, one can only works from within an existing playlist to add more songs to that playlist. That means, in a playlist, you choose "add song" and then you go looking for the song you want to add.
What I am missing is the possibility to, when I am listening to a song, add it directly to an existing playlist. In other words, something like tapping the song while playing to show you the option "add to playlist xxxx".
Something to think about?

You can't do it directly, as an iPod can't be connected to an iPad. You can copy the song from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync it from your computer to the iPod

Adding songs to an existing playlist on an iPad

I Have an existing playlist which I created. It's not a Smart Playlist. Now that I finished the list a while ago I'd like to add more songs from my music library. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do anything but delete songs. Does anyone know how to add songs to an existing playlist on an iPad?

I assume that the songs are already in the Music app on your iPad.
Go to the Playlist tab in the Music App and select the Playlist that you want to add songs to. Tap Edit in the upper left - above the first song in the list. Then tap the red + sign in the upper right portion of the screen. Scroll/swipe down through your songs and then tap the + signs to add the songs to the Playlist. When you are finished, tap Done.

How to import cd into existing playlist?

In the new (12.0.1) iTunes, how can I import the contents of a CD into an existing playlist? It appears I have to import the contents into my general library, then drag the imported titles into an existing playlist. Two steps, where before there was just one.

In the previous version of iTunes, the CD contents could be dragged directly into an existing playlist folder and imported that way. One step. Of course, it was added to your full library, but you could import it to a target folder. That shortcut has been eliminated, it appears.

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!

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."

How do I move a song from my iphone to an existing playlist on the iphone?

I've posted a couple questions about playlist issues that lots of you have read, but no replies, so maybe my issue is just mine.
That being said, I can't get playlists to transfer from my computer to my iphone. The songs come over, not the playlists.
I can manually create a playlist on my phone, but once I've created it, I can't add songs to it.
Is there a way to add songs to an existing playlist without creating a new playlist on my iphone? I've given up on figuring out what the issue is with the playlists not moving from my computer to my phone. Like I said, the songs come over, not the playlists, so I've got the music I want, I just need to make the music I want functional and have the ability to add to the new list if I want to.
I don't always want to suffle all.
Any thoughts or advice? Seems there ought to be a function / button to add sond to existing playlist in itunes. Apple, are you listening? Seems like an easy and useful addition.
If this function is available, can anyone tell me how to do it!
Many thanks!

You just drag them and drop them where you want them to go. If you don't want to keep the original on the source drive, you'll want to delete it afterwards.
What do you mean "some pics don't work?" Don't work how?

New purchased songs can not be sync to an existing playlist...

I purchased 2 songs through iTunes' store after I have updated my iPhone to iOS 4.2.1.
There is an existing playlist and 10 tracks are in it.
I just relized, if I add these 2 new songs into this playlist via iPhone (I can see and play these 12 tracks on the phone), and then connect to Mac use iTune to backup, everything is working fine and purchased items will be transferred successfully *except these 2 songs will be removed out from the playlist* (the playlist is showing back to these 10 old tracks)
Tried it many times and all same, never happened this before...
Looks like the new songs can never be added into an existed playlist.
Is anyone facing the same issue?

Hi ,
Reconcilation is for linking the account basically not for populating of attributes.
For this you may have to try activeysnc or bulk load.
IN active Sync you can set the active sync form where the attribute can be set.
In bulk load, you can give the command option , give all the users and then the attributes and values you want to populate.

How can I set automatically downloaded songs from iTunes on an existing playlist?

Hi! I have downloaded songs from itunes in my old macbook which appears automatically in the playlist, but when buy a new macbook and downloaded some songs, a new playlist ws created automatically and all recent song i"ve downloaded goes to that playlist, how can I set the song that I download to the old playlist automatically so I wont edit everytime I download songs, thank

Might that new playlist be a smart playlist named something like "Recently Added"?
Yes, iTunes does create such a smart playlist and uses it to house recently downloaded songs.
If you want the songs to go to an existing playlist as well, set up the smart playlist to include rule(s) to include the latest additions.

Can't add songs to existing playlists with iOS 7.1

Yesterday, I downloaded the new iOS 7.1 update. Tonight I tried adding songs to an existing playlist, and they aren't there. I went though the steps. From Playlists, I tap edit, tap (+) to add songs and then tap on the songs I want to add. Then I tap Done. When I go back to the playlist, they aren't there. Is this a glitch with the new update? Or is there a step I am missing? Please help!!

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.

As to dragging a track to a playlist, what view lets you see the playlists and songs at the same time?
If you have the Sidebar on (CTRL+S), the Songs View:
... and simply drag the song to any Regular Playlist.

When I add a new song to an existing playlist, will it automatically sync to my iPod once connected to my computer?

When I add a song to an existing playlist on iTunes, will it sync to my iPod once connected?
I'd rather not have to remember each specific playlist I add songs too to sync it to my iPod.
I do have automatic sync set up, starting today because I got tired of constantly manually adding music.
ALSO, if I deleted songs in iTunes, will it delete them in my iPod as well once connected to my computer?

iPhoneUser guide, page 8:
"Contacts and calendars are synced
both ways between your computer and iPhone. New entries or changes you make
on iPhone are synced to your computer, and vice versa."
So basically, do they keep each other updated automatically?
Yes, your data will be updated every time you sync.
Or do I have to enable something?

How do you add new songs to existing playlist on iphone 5?

Before the update a few months ago I was able to add new songs to an existing playlist by hitting the Edit button. Now I can only delete songs off of a playlist. Has anyone figured out how to add new songs or do I just have to create a new playlist? I really hope I don't because they will all be the same then.

What could I do to be able to add more pages to a document?

Merging songs into an existing playlist

Simple question - If I have a particular playlist on my iPOD nano, and want to ADD songs from my iTunes library to that playlist - not delete those already there - can I do that?

If you are updating automatically drag the songs from the iTunes library to the playlist in iTunes then connect your iPod and it will update the change you made. If you are updating your iPod manually just drag the songs from iTunes to the playlist on your iPod:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Managing content manually on iPod

Yes, you can sync podcasts. Except in this case it's KEXP.org's song-a-day podcast that are just songs. I want them to work the same way as any song in my library from any other source. I do not want to manage them as podcasts. And for whatever reason it won't send them to my iphone as songs unless I right click and convert to mp3. And yes, they already are mp3s. Before I convert them, they don't ever show up in iTunes DJ or in Music either. I don't know... ask Apple.
