Create a playlist in iTunes to a specific genre

I have a quite a few songs in my iTunes library, composed of various kinds. I would like to create a playlist of a particular kind. What is the best (easiest) way to achieve this? The playlist that I want to create will have several thousand songs.

Use File > New > smart playlist and use the drop-down list boxes to create the rule type is < Type > where < Type > is what you want to match with.

  • transfer playlist from itunes 12.4.3.1 on iphone?

    I recently updated from the old to the new itunes.  before, to transfer songs/playlist from itunes to my iphone, I would create a playlist in itunes with the songs I wanted on my iphone, and then drag and drop said playlist to the device/iphone section on the left side.  the peripheral section flashing once, and the playlist/songs have been transferred successfully.

    I do something wrong, because when I do drag the selection to the peripheral area, it has a + sign and in my experience, this means a suitable place to fall while "Drag and Drop", but when I release, nothing happens.

    It is also unlikely that it is the wrong way to do it, as it's too simple and logical that this is not an option to transfer a playlist.

    can anyone help?

    Hello chrismcclain077,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to be able to manage your music and I want to help you get your playlists sync as expected.

    The way you described adding your playlists by drag-and - drop them uses a parameter called "manually manage music and videos". Because you have updated recently, this setting may have been reset to its default value.

    When you connect your phone to the computer and open iTunes, click on your phone icon to display the summary page. To the bottom of the page (you may need to scroll down), there is a check box for this setting. Make sure the box is checked and try to re-sync. If it isn't already, try activating / deactivating it off and then turn it back on.

    Playlists on a synchronized device should copy in the library when you synchronize the device. However, it would be a pity to lose the list in question during the test. See ImportDevicePlaylists for a script that can import lists of your device.

    You can change the appearance of a selection by clicking on "reading list" in the upper right of the iTunes window. The desired view is probably "tracks"

  • Playlist on iTunes, DO NOT sync all songs off iPhone

    Good evening

    Firstly, apologies if this topic has been discussed before.  Basically the question I have (it lasts a few months now), it of that whenever I make a playlist on iTunes and click on sync with my iPhone not all songs are copied to the playlist in my music on the phone folder. As far as I can tell, it is usually only the songs that were purchased on iTunes which will not be synchronized. Yet most purchased songs eventually synchronization to the playlist. By example, if I buy an album which contains 16 songs and creates a playlist for him, it is likely that will be 12-14 synchronize phone playlist.  Sometimes only a few songs synchronized.  No idea why this is happening or any solution to the problem?  So far, the only thing worked for me is UNSYNC all the playlists on my iPhone and then for them which is boring and tiring, since I do not have quite a few playlists/songs resync sync on my phone.  I use a macbook pro and iPhone 6plus if this is of any help.  Thank you!

    You use the setting of the music iPhone screen in iTunes to manage synchronization for the songs?  To display this screen, select iPhone from iTunes to show its settings screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side of the screen (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Right, music of the iPhone settings screen.  This is where you select the playlists that is synced to iPhone?

  • Try to create video Playlist HTML5 beachfront animate - I can't make it work. Help, please!

    Hi all

    I am creating an interactive site through edge animate and I'm trying to create a Playlist of video HTML 5 feature to animate within edge.

    Courses - example:

    I have 3 videos that need to be played on a specific page.

    I created a symbol and dragged the videos of the scene and concealed them in the chronology of this symbol.


    I then use thumbnail images in a selection side to each. remove();. hide(); a video and. show(); the next.

    But when I make a hide / show option, the video still plays in the background, if I create also an if/else statement to pause.

    My concern with a break, is that it will continue to load and significantly slow down the loading time of the site.

    References:

    I found which seems very useful but do not know how to add to the composition of edge.

    Please help or put me in the right direction to create a playlist would be huge... SURPRISINGLY... useful.

    Thank you

    Jason

    Hi Jason,

    If you don't count to the user to go back and play a video, and then adding each video to its own symbol and then removing the symbol when the user switches to the next video is the fastest and simplest way to achieve this. Otherwise, hide/show you will be asked to pause the video that you noted, and it won't stop downloading until the browser thinks it has enough to read without a break.

    If you do intend for the user to go back, it is more difficult but still possible - you may createChildSymbol to add symbols video back. If they are all of the same image size, you could avoid the entire structure of the symbol/delete/createChildSymbol and use a single video clip and change the src files, then use the load() to reload the video element - method but if you are concerned about the performance of video playback, only the first file source will preload in the browser. But it is more in line with the idea of playlist that you have linked to. You can also use addEventListener to have these things happen when video events such as past shot and even follow where the user was in the variables and restore them if they're coming back (if that's what you wanted).

    In summary, there are several ways to approach this problem - maybe the hardest part could be the tail it with what you want the user to be able to do.

    HTH,

  • Is there a way to read all the music of a kind without creating a playlist?

    Is there a way to select a genre in 'my music' and play all this music randomly.  In its current form when I select the type tab in my music, he will show me all albums, but no way to play what he. I play all this create a playlist. The feature of the music has been removed in the latest version?

    It seems to work for me. Go to the list of its kind. Tap on the work for the genre. This should start to play. You can then go to the bottom of the screen, tap the name of the song played to bring up the work and controls for this piece. You should see the icon at the bottom of the screen shuffle. Tap that.

  • When I make a playlist on iTunes to burn a CD, the songs of the playlist are wrong

    I burned a CD on iTunes, but the labelling of the songs is incorrect.  I deleted the playlist from iTunes and make a new burn a new CD, but it does the same thing.  Is there a way to fix this? The CD I'm burning was not purchased from iTunes.

    Thought,

    From your description, I think you're talking about ripping, not burning, correct?

    When the CD is inserted, iTunes retrieves a "best estimate" track of the Gracenote database information.  If information is missing or incorrect, you can fix it via right click, get information on the track (s) concerned.  Make the corrections before the investigation period, and then the imported tracks will go into iTunes with the correct tags.

    Hello

    Only when the HARD local disk partition, the files from the local HARD disk can be added in the playlist.
    If the local HARD disk has more than one partition, you should back up the files on disk HARD local to other first storage device, then format the Store TV +.

    But usually to build the playlist that you must select the file and press SELECT on the remote control, a check mark indicates the selected file. Multiple files can be selected in too. And press OK to add the selected playlist files.

  • How to create video playlists in SmartCenter 2.0?

    I have dozens of videos that I see when I open the Visual part of SmartCenter and kind Datse, files or videos but when I select "Playlists" says ' Playlists - no videos no could be found "at the top of the screen just below the" Dates, records, videos, Playlists, etc. "bar. It would really help to create video playlists, but how can I get the videos that are appearing everywhere else in the playlist window?

    Any help would be appreciated,

    UH... someone has thought about a situation for a few days if not weeks before gathering the courage to ask for help and then found the minutes of the solution after asking? Yes, it's one of those occasions. Weird.

    In my defense, the user interface seems a bit obtuse. When you click 'Playlists', then 'create the Playlist"at the bottom of the screen then you need to click the 'Dates 'Files' and 'All videos' to search for videos. The "obtusity", is that it seems not intuitive for me that I had to then search in the other positions after that I chose to create a playlist. I assumed that the window to "Create a Playlist" which arises then would include videos in watched folders. When you see a video, you will find that there is a green circle with a sign more on the upper right corner. Clicking on that will add it to the playlist that you create. When you are satisfied with the reading list, give it a name and then save.

    * sigh *.
