Tell Me What Playlists a Song is In

Is there any way to search a song and tell me what Playlists it is in.
I have several Playlists, and I may have a song that is in three of them... is there any way for me to find out without opening each playlist and looking for that song?
Thanks,
Tommy

Nevermind... I found out... Control Click or Right Click on song and choose Show Playlists... duh

Can I see what Playlist my song is in by holding Option

I just read in Mac Life mag that using Address Book I can hold the option key and see what groups a contact is in - they are highlighted in Yellow. Cool, so how can I see what Playlist my Song is in using iTunes? I bet this would be a fantastic feature and one millions of people would welcome. What do you say - is there a way? A secret way?

Hi John,
Control click the track/Show in Playlist. Might be able to right click also depending on your mouse.

How do I easily find out what playlist my songs are in?

I'm an iTunes novice and have about 3000 songs on my computer. I've put most of them on playlists but compared some numbers and discovered that there are a couple hundred stragglers that I haven't put on playlists.
Is there a way to quickly/easily see what playlist my songs are in? It would be great to have a "view" option column showing playlists. I know I can right-click on each individual song and do "show in playlist," but that's a real pain in the neck when you're dealing with thousands of songs.
I'm open to any suggestions!

Welcome to AD!
All I can think of, is a smart playlist 'match all' where
playlist is not playlist1
playlist is not playlist2,
etc
except.....you need to leave out the main playlist, Music, from that

I want to customize my song list to show what playlist the song is in. Is there a way to do this?

I want to customize my song/music list to show the playlist I have it in. Playlist is not one of the items you can add to customize the list. Is there a way to do this?

I am having the same problem after ugrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
I found on the net a guy who says to do the following "log in as root and trash the old user icon images file. Then copy the folder froma ML factory disk image and restart". I can't get back to the original post-- tried buy it no longer seems to be there.
OK-- I don't understand how to do any of that. I need to know: 1. what is the name of the folder I am supposed to trash what is the path to get to it. 2. Where do I get the new folder to replace it with and where do I put it.
I would really appreciate help. Thank you.

What playlist is this song in

Did it used to be easy to tell if a song was in a playlist. I know in addressbook you just clicked option on a contact and all the groups it was in would hightlight. Very cool, very Apple. I thought you could do the same thing in iTunes. Now iTunes has changed so much, I cant find that option. I have 11.1.3. There should be a very easy way to tell what playlists a song is in.........shouldnt there.

its there you have to control click. How hard would it me to make it like Addressbook. I would rather hit option have have playlists highlight to show you what playlists have this song in it, rather than, give you the option to add it to the "Up Next" list. I dont use iTunes like that. I play the whole playlist. But then I am 52, not 12 and go more for practical use. I feel Apple is morphing more and more like a PC. More and more clicking.

I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there. What could be happening? What am I doing wrong?

I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists. Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist. I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

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...

Just found Ipad Nano in Big Island Hawaii. Trying to find the owner to return it back. Tell me what is the color, how many songs and your name(its personalize with a name).

I only wish that when I called Apple, they would match the serial number with the owner and give me the contact
Hopefully you left Apple your contact info (name phone #, email address).
Apple would simply pass your contact to the last registered owner. It would be up to the owner to contact you. As Dave mentioned, Apple will not give you any info (except may to tell you it was or was not registered, but not to who). Turn it on once in a while and maybe they have activated FindMyiPad and a message will pop up (don't need to be logged onto the iPad to a message).

TS1412 My iPod shuffle periodically skips across multiple songs...playing a song or two and then jumping forward or back multiple songs after playing only moments of a song. Please tell me what I can do to fix this. Thanks

My iPod shuffle periodically skips across multiple songs...playing a song or two in full and then jumping forward or back multiple songs after playing only moments of a song. Please tell me what I can do to fix this situation. Thank you very much.

This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

My iPod classic has stop working and when ever i try to synch it there is a alert saying that do not disconnect it and there are some songs which when i try to play the iPod re-starts again so please tell me what is the issue

To give you something, I need something too, like
How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
What do you see on the iPod screen?
My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
Have a nice day!

Seeing what songs are in what playlists

Although there are a few dicussions about this, I can't seem to understand the solution to it. So the question is, is it possible to see what songs are in what playlists and whether there are any songs not in a playlist, so I can organise them into one?
Thanks.

You want something like this, where the Not in All Playlists smart playlist is not inside the All Playlists folder, but everything else that you want included is.

If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

Thank you
I realize they are separate
I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

HT1451 Can anyone tell me what the icon thingy's are at the top on the iTunes playlist

Can anyone tell me what the little icon thingy's are at the top on the iTunes playlist

Play and shuffle just to the right of the playlist name and over to the right an icon to change the view, unless you are looking at a different set of thingys?. Might help to post which version of iTunes. I'm using version 11.0.2.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT1711 It could be just me, but everytime I buy a .99 cent song I get charged more. somebody tell me what is going on

It could just be me. I buy song for . 99Cent and get charged more on my credit card, somebody tell me what is going on...

If you're in the US that would be sales taxes.

Viewing what playlist songs are assigned to

Is there anyway to view a song and know what playlist(s) that song has been assigned to? I have a lot of songs in my library yet when I go to look for a certain one on my iPod it will not be there because I have not put it into a playlist. I have played with the view settings but so far have not figured out a way to do what I am wanting to do. Has anyone ever tried this before?

Right click (control+click if using a one button mouse) on the song and go to "Show in Playlist", any playlists the song is in will be displayed.
