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.

What Playlists is this song in?

Any way in itunes to show which playlists a certain song is in?
Example: I am listening to Springsteen's "Thunder Road" and I know it is in several playlists and there was one playlist that I really liked. Any way to know/show all of the playlists where a given song appears?
Thanks!
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.9)

control-click (or right-click) on the song and pick "Show in Playlist"

What playlists is a song in?

is there a way to determine what playlists contain a specific tune?

Control-click on the track you want to know about. You should see an item titled "show in playlist" which will list all the playlists of which that track is a member.
Regards.

What playlists are my songs in?

I noticed that one of my songs on iTunes wasn't on my iPod so I looked and found out that it wasn't in a playlist. That got me wondering how many other songs weren't in playlists but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to find out without individually going through each song. (Why they can't have a 'Playlist' option along with the 'date added' and 'artist' options I don't know!). Anyway, is there an easy way to do this? Using 11.0.1.12 if that helps. Thanks.

Create a new playlist folder called, say My Playlists. Drag all the playlists/playlists folders that "count" as your playlists into it. Create a smart playlist matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not My Playlists. The resulting playlist consists of the tracks that aren't in any of your playlists.

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.

"This computer is not authorized to play this song" How...?

This is the message that was displayed on a friend's computer when trying to play a song. A box then appeared with an email address, asking for the password. What method was this song put onto this computer if the computer is not authorized to play this song, that I assume was purchased from Itunes.

Not sure of your question. If you put songs that you have purchased from itunes on a friend's PC, then you have to authorize that PC in itunes to play them.

I have an I phone 3g and I downloaded the newest software and I can't get any music to play. I can't change my playlists and the songs I have on the phone just get skipped over. What can I do to correct this?

it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

When I went to bed I had 3,000 song and multiple playlists. This morning I have ~30 songs and no playlists. What could have happened to my songs playlists? I run iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. HELP! (oh, and the Songs are not in recycle bin)

My wife's ipod nano was plugged into the machine overnight.
When she went running with it, there were no songs on it. She checked the computer and was horrified to see that the playlists had disappeared and most of the songs had disappeared.
QUESTIONS:
1. What could it be?
2. How can I fix it?

I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position to be added. It did not show up but came through as a song and asking me to add it to a playlist. This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy"

I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position status to be added. It did not show up but came purchased as a song and now asking me to add it to a playlist. This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy more options" to get what I thought was a ringtone. Please help!

The ONLY place to buy a ready made ringtones is from the iphone itself from the itunes app, then "More">"Ringtones"
If you bought from your computer, then you need to create the ringtone. You can create a ringtones from just about any song/sound file for free.
Google will find several ways to do this.

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.

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.

ITunes - all playlists which include this song?

Is there a way in iTunes to find all playlists in which a song features?
i.e. I have a song selected and I want to see what playlists it is featured in, how can I get this?
Thanks!

Thank you! And, yes! I am wearing the Dunce Hat now!

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing? As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.' So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist. I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue. This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
Thanks.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

How do I delete a song from my Itunes library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and click delete from the drop down menu but, then it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in Iclouds? I dont even know what Iclouds is?!?! HELP!

How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

Why can't I print a playlist of 24 songs with this newer version that will fit on a case, as I was able to do with the older version?

With the older version I was able to print a playlist of 24 songs that would fit on a case. The print was single-spaced on the older version, but on this version, the print is double spaced and it no longer fits on a case. Does anyone have an answer?

No other solution at this time. Are you using iPad or iPhone?
iPad - I can understand why you ask. It's too bad you can't sync PDF playlist. Right now the only way is to use Sugarsync. From there you can "Open PDF in iBooks". Or you can use Goodreader.
iPhone - Why would you want to use iTunes and iBooks? Although iBooks is well designed and handles PDF very well even on iPhone, it doesn't have text-reflow feature which makes PDF reading useless on iPhone unless you want to loose your eye sight soon. So the only way is to sync a folder using Sugarsync. You can access Sugarsync from Goodreader.
