Sorting LIbrary by Playlist

Hi All,
I have a 4 Gig IPOD Nano and I wanted to remove some songs. Unfortunately, I deleted the playlist associated with the songs and had to manually search for songs that didn't have a playlist associated with it.
Can we request that Itunes be able to sort the library by playlist (or lack of playlist) for easier selection of songs?
Not everyone copies whole albums. I have various MP3's/Songs that I copy over and there are not always sorted by album/etc/etc

Hey coach41,

  • IF I UNINSTALL & REINSTALL ITUNES WILL I LOSE ITUNES LIBRARY AND PLAYLIST

    I GET THIS MESSAGE WHEN I START ITUNES. (THE REGISTRY SETTINGS USED BY ITUNES DRIVERS FOR IMPORTING AND BURNING CD'S AND DVD'S ARE MISSING. PLEASE REINSTALL ITUNES.) IF I UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL ITUNES 10 WILL I LOSE MY ITUNES LIBRARY AND PLAYLIST?

    Hi dude,
    I know it was over a year ago when you asked this, so I guess you've got it sorted now... Anyway, I had the same problem so I entered the registry data manually. Here's the guide if you or anyone else needs it:

  • Sorting library podcasts by song rating

    I can sort my Library/Music easily by rating but I can not sort Library/Podcasts by rating. Songs that I do not like I mark with a rating of one star and I desire to sort by rating and delete all with a rating of one star.  Can this be done? Is there an alternative way to do what I desire?  I'm using latest version of iTunes.

    You could create a smart playlist that contains all your podcasts and then sort that by rating.
    Hope this helps.

  • In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are.  This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared.  Anyone know where it is?

  • How to Restore Library and Playlists to Newly Wiped Hard Drive

    Due to Windows problem, I had to reformat my hard drive.
    Before I did, I copied the entire My Documents folder, including My Music and the iTunes music files and the My Playlist text files to a second hard drive - the D drive - in the same tree structure as they existed on the C drive.
    I do NOT want the music files on the C: Drive - I want the music files on the new D: storage drive. I want iTunes on the C drive but knowing the music files are on the D drive.
    I installed the iPod disc onto the newly cleaned C: Drive and downloaded iTunes ver 6.
    Now I would like to have my iTunes library and playlists back just as they were but I am confused over the ADD FILE and ADD FOLDER commands.
    Add Folder appears to copy the full music files back to the C Drive, which I do not want.
    Add File appears to add the meta data, the library list, and
    the playlists to iTunes, but when you go to play a track, the program says it cannot do so because it can't find the music file. To tell each track the new location of the music file listed means I would have to edit over 1200 line items -- even though I already told the program where the
    music files would be.
    Before trying to add the library and playlists as files, I went into EDIT, Prefences, Advanced and changed the iTunes folder location from
    c:\mydocuments\mymusic\itunes\itunesmusic to
    D:\mydocuments\mymusic\itunes\itunesmusic
    Earlier I had used the Add Folder option and it copied all the music files to the C: drive. I had to delete them and
    try something else.
    What must I do to transfer just the meta data and keep the actual music files on the D drive?

    The XML file is less important (See the link that Katrina provided above).
    First re-install the iTunes program (if you have not already).
    Make sure that the music folders and files are copied to the exact same location they were in prior to the PC Restore. If they were running on the C: drive, you'll need to place them there at first, then move them within iTunes.
    Then copy the original ITL file you saved into the 'iTunes' folder, replacing the newly created (and smaller) ITL file that was created when you reinstalled iTunes.
    Open iTunes and the Library should be as it was prior to the Restore.
    To move the files to your D: drive keeping iTunes 'informed' see this link:

    I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

  • The same itunes Library and playlists on the same computer with two systems

    I want to have the same itunes library and playlists on the same computer with the two different Os 10.3.9 and 10.4.9 each one on the different disk. without copy this in the itunes folder (because my library its 30Gb)
    I have the same user name on the Os. I use the same version of itunes in both systems
    I use my ipod to play the library but its not the best solution (i lost my library in ipod twice because I confused from what os was synchronized)

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Amalgamate the two iTunes libraries. Then load iTunes and hold down the Option/Alt ⌥ key and then choose "Choose Library" and then point both copies of iTunes to use the combined iTunes library.

    Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Is there a way to create a library of playlists in iTunes

    I have recently created a number of video playlists and I'm wondering if there is a way of creating a library of these playlists.Secondly is there way of adjusting the brightness of videos without downloading third party software.

    Playlists in iTunes are stored in the main database iTunes Library.itl. They don't exist as a separate class of files. You can use File > Library > Export Playlist... to export individual playlists in various formats. These could be imported into another library if all of the required files of the playlist were on the same paths. In general however there is no need to export and reimport playlists to iTunes. Simply Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy so that the entire library, or any individual files, can be restored if needed.

  • Can't back up entire library and playlists

    I set up my I'Tunes to backup to a DVD drive (I did it with a CD drive before and got no song titles or artist names). I hit back up and when asked I chose to back up the entire library and playlists. The back up gave me 241 of 1100 songs on a DVD which was 4.7 Gbs and the library is 3.99 Gigs. It was not the list of songs that I've added since my last back up. It was a bunch of random songs. All the songs in the library were checked and rated. I had upgraded to 7.3.2. I considered going back to 7.2.after what I've read here. I don't know how, but I know it involves filehippo. I Googled filehippo and found one reference which allowed only an upgrade to 7.3.2. Do I need to have my I-Pod plugged in when I back up? I'm scared to death to do this because I'm seeing all these horror stories about losing all songs. All the playlists are on I-Tunes. Any help is really appreciated.

    With all due respect, and I really appreciate your help, I may be slow here, but there are about 100 places to look for Help. I started with the help offered with my I-Tunes library and plugged in "can't backup" but I had no luck at all. I kept looking around for an area called help - and they were all over. I would really appreciate it if you could be more specific or, if you wouldn't mind, if the answer is simple if you could just give it to me. I understand it may not be simple, so I really need some more info pointing me to where it is. Sorry I'm so lame on this. It's just that all this I-Tunes mess with all these tons of questions has me confused.
    Thanks a million,

  • Computer crashed- all new now. How to bring library and playlists from Ipod

    My PC crashed and was pronounced DOA. All library and playlists were and still are on Ipod Classic (20GB). Obviously wasn't able to follow directions for normal transfer of lib. and p.lists as event not planned. Built completely new PC and loaded up Itunes. I had all my music library backed up on an external and can load, but is there any way I can save my 50 meticulously created playlists back into Itunes? Please say "Yes"!

    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
