Delete songs in smart playlists in itunes 12.4?

In the previous version of Itunes, there is a delete option in the drop-down menu when I wanted to delete songs directly from my smart playlists. I know that there is a shortcut in the mac version, I was wondering if, instead of the menu option, there is a shortcut on Windows or a way to remove them? It's a huge pain to click around to delete.

I use this on Windows 10.

There are three ways to remove pieces of smart playlist:

  • change the criteria for membership for the playlist
  • change the metadata of the songs so that they are is more selected reading list
  • remove songs from your library

This has not changed in 12.4.

  • How can I sort a list of smart playlist in iTunes?

    I have smart playlists in iTunes.   Some of them appear with the positions that I can click Sort by name or artist or what I posted.   But the other smart playlists do not have this topic and are sorted in some unknown way.   They often have a colored background.   I don't understand what is the difference between my old and these smart playlist.   But without the title, I can't sort and find the song I am looking for.

  • Can't delete songs from the iPhone from iTunes 6

    I have manually manage music on my iPhone with iTunes.  I used to be able to select an album in iTunes and then drag it to the iPhone to add it to the iPhone.  The only way I can get the albums on my iPhone is now, right-click and select Add to the device.  Also, I used to be able to DELETE the songs off iPhone from iTunes.  Now when I select and right-click on several songs of the devices > iPhone > music section of iTunes, the only option I get is to add to the Playist...  I can't delete songs from my iPhone from iTunes.  Any ideas.  There must be a better way than the manual removal of the iPhone.

    When your iPhone is connected to iTunes, check the settings > music section to find something like this:

    You can check "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" here instead of 'Library of music together' as I did.

    On the iPhone summary page, you can also check a box that says something like "only sync checked items" - or words to that effect.

  • Cannot copy all the songs from smart playlist in normal playlist

    I have a bunch of smart playlists that I use regularly, but the smart playlists is not supported of Apple's music within the ecosystem of Sonos, so I'll try to copy the contents of each in a "beast" playlist that I can use effectively when music plays in my Sonos system at home. I'm having problems trying to get this in iTunes on my PC, though.

    For example, I'm in my smart "Top 100 most played songs" playlist in iTunes and highlight all the songs. I then drag them all over a new normal mute playlist, and it seems that all 100 songs are copied on (based on the number and the red circle that appears on the slider as I drag-and - drop). When I look at the new playlist, I see only 27 songs. The common theme seems to be that only the songs I added to my library of Apple's music are copied. Local songs in my library that I actually own original (the 73 remaining in the smart playlist) is don't move. If I return to smart playlist and try to copy them individually owned the songs, it works, but I have to do than 73 times, and it's just for a playlist.

    Anyone got any ideas how I can get all the songs to copy on the new playlist 'fool' massively? I can use the "duplicate" option if my source is another list of silent reading without encountering this problem, but it does not work if my source is a smart playlist and I am trying to create a regular.

  • How to hide iCloud songs in smart playlists

    Just found the option 'View' > 'Show iCloud music purchases', but unfortunately that changed not showing them upward in the smart playlists, I create. Ive tried all the different options to limit these playlists such as 'iCloud status' and 'Place', but none of 'em actually seem to filter songs undownloaded. Im not interested in playing one of these Id otherwise just download their in the first place. An interim solution would be to 'love' each song downloaded, but this really isn't a good thing because Id rather use this feature for what his destiny, and songs of theres 400 + Id tag like this.

    "iCloud status" shows only songs or NONE, I guess because I don't use the Apple music?

    'Location' like 'on my pc"shows only 8 songs (of downloaded hundreds), while if its 'on iCloud", it shows all but download these 8 regardless of status.

    "Date added" includes all the songs like "purchase".

  • Smart playlist does not correctly synchronize with the iPhone

    I have a list of smart playlist in iTunes on my Macbook chooses 200 songs in my library based on 'least recently played', only checked in the songs, live update. My iPhone is updated via iTunes sync (no iCloud, Apple game, etc.). If I connect my iPhone and view its contents on my Macbook, the reading list "on my iPhone" seems to be the same as for the Macbook. However, when I look at the playlist on the iPhone itself, lack many of the songs in the playlist. They are on the iPhone in the song list, but not on the reading list.

    I tried to create a new list of smart playlist with the same criteria... same problem.

    I tried to uncheck 'Music' of criteria for iPhone sync (by removing all the music in the phone), then adding back again... same problem.

    I created a second smart playlist on my Macbook, which has selected songs using the criteria that they be on the first list of reading ("playlist is equal to [playlist name]"). I chose the second selection to sync to my iPhone. The songs missing from the 1st reading on the iPhone list appear on the 2nd reading on the iPhone list! So the bug seems to be something to do with the 1st playlist selecting songs from the play date function library and iPhone accept not for the determination of the Macbook which happens on the playlist.

    It's really weird that the contents of the iPhone shown on the Macbook is not the same as what was on the iPhone. Must I deduce that the contents of the iPhone shows which is assumed to be on the iPhone and not information from the unit itself?

    I use iTunes 12.4.3.1.

    Everybody runs into this problem recently?

    Update: I tried to sync the playlist to my old Nano, and all the songs are there. So it doesn't seem to be an iPhone / iOS / music application.

  • illustrations of 12.5 iTunes no sync for iPhone & smart playlist in disorder

    Hello

    I've updated to iTunes 12.5 and I have two problems, the work which has come mainly from apples when Sync you to my iPhone ios10.01 it synchronizes approximately 10% of the covers...

    the second thing is on the smart playlists, I can't find a way get the list of reading to stay in the newer supplementary order. You add a new song, and he ends by below, rather than above

    I have the same problem on the cover art not sync... I got it in the last 3 betas, I would say. Expected to get fixed for GM, but it didn't. I tried to reset my iTunes (copy my media on the desktop and delete the "iTunes Media" folder, and then add it again any music) with no luck... I pointed out twice in the application of your comments also. I hope that someone will find that a fix/Apple will fix it soon...

  • I lost the music: when I delete a song in a playlist it is also deleted in my library

    I use regular playlists, not the smart playlist. I followed the instructions on the site Apple help to iTunes, where it is written "deletion of an item in a playlist is not delete it from your iTunes library or your computer." I'm in the playlist, find the song I don't want to get there, click on the... where I can add it to other reading lists or delete. Choose Delete. Now, I realized right after editing a bunch of playlists and songs of them, deleting it also deleted from my iTunes library. I had to re-import (those I remembered the deletion) to have the songs in my library and other playlists.

    How can I delete a song in a playlist and keep it in the library?

    I have 12.3.3.17 which I believe is the latest version of iTunes.

    Open the playlist.  Select the piece to remove. Press Delete on your keyboard.

  • Why my side song erased and playlists were emptied on iTunes?

    I'm looking for a possible explanation as to why this particular thing happened if it does not happen in the future. I tried to cover all the details that I thought was appropriate where a person can say exactly what happened.

    First of all, I have a modest library of 3500 songs on my iTunes I keep pretty organized with playlists and rating stars, and I'm trying to store all my data locally (ie. not on the cloud). I synchronize my entire library to my iPhone, so basically I'm trying to keep my iTunes and iPhone music library identical library and have all my music physically downloaded to my phone (music so only available offline). I don't use iCloud music library and hold.

    I use Apple music on my phone, however, to discover new music. I had it on automatic renewal for a couple of months but let my membership lapse one maybe a more than a week ago - ergo, I didn't not Apple music for several days.

    I decided to take out a few days ago and everything was good. I had synced my phone since my subscription expired because I had not added to any music, until yesterday when I bought some singles on iTunes I want to synchronize my phone. However, they would not sync with my phone after 2 or 3 attempts, then I looked around my phone settings and noticed that iCloud music library was running. I'm sure that when I re-subscribed to Apple's music, it turns out iCloud music library somehow.

    Then I disabled iCloud music library, and then I tried to sync again. Only this time, a majority of my music bought were not sync to my phone. Any other synchronized through music. The only way to access my music bought on my phone was to "show all music" and I guess that flows to my phone. Some of them would stream and I had the opportunity to 'download to the phone' but most of them wouldn't even either, they would simply appear in my library of phone but unable to play. Still the same after sync 2 times more.

    I deleted all the music on my phone through my phone settings and then synchronized with the sync option is not all music on iTunes and for some reason that still synchronize a purchased song. I deleted manually, this song changed to 'synchronize all music' on iTunes re - transfer my entire library to my phone, but it still refuses to transfer nearly all of my purchased music. And on top of that, I noticed all but 40 of 3500 ~ songs had their side to star cleared on iTunes, the end of the synchronization.

    One last shot to try to get my music on my phone, I deleted all the music again once, backed up my phone, it completely, restore the backup and finally sync all reset.

    Finally, I clicked on one of my playlists and noticed it was empty. I checked the rest, and all my manual playlists were empty. Only filled have been my smart playlists, relying on the date added and play counts.

    Basically, the entire structure of my entire library is ruined. I have no idea why or how it happened but I am sure iCloud music library was the beginning of it. I tried to restore temporary files without success, nor that any itunes library previous saved files help. I have a full September 2015 iTunes backup that has all until the preserved month, but I tore a lot of albums for Christmas and I don't want to lose the date added / play metadata count. I've temporarily restored the library September 2015 and screenshotted as much as I could, so I just have to manually recreate playlists and enter again in the ratings.

    Take a look at this thread for some thoughts: lose the song playing in iTunes 11

    It would be possible to edit the script I mentioned it to recover a portion of your lost data.

  • do not copy songs in the smart playlist for 10 iOS device

    I have upgraded to 12.5.1.21 on my Mac Mini Tuesday and set iTunes to update my iPhone 6 and Air iPad for iOS 10.  I also have an iPod Touch 5 which is glued to the ISM 9, which turns out to be a blessing.  In iTunes I have a large number of smart playlists, which many turning content at least recently played or update filters to filter the songs that were played in the last week, for example.  So when I play songs in the list, then update the list in iTunes, the songs played are removed, and new songs come in.  Everything works well.

    Until I update my iOS 10 devices.  When I update the playlist in iTunes on Mac, it shows the new content.  When I update my iDevice, it shows the set songs to date on the device, using the view from iTunes on Mac.  When I disconnect the device and check the reading list, there is no songs.  All the songs in the playlist have disappeared.  The songs are really there, but the device iTunes lost them or they were never really copied.

    It does not have other types of playlists. It seems to only affect smart playlists with date restrictions. My iPod Touch always behaves very well with the same smart playlists.  So maybe not a problem with iTunes on Mac, but iTunes iOS 10.

    I also found that the smart playlists which depend on other playlists (i.e. they understand a rule "Playlist is... ") are similarly broken and empty in the iOS 10 (but they agree in iTunes on a Mac (for now)).  This is true if the original selection is also a smart playlist, or just a regular manual selection.

    However, I followed the tips in this article, and that fixed it for me: http://www.techradar.com/how-to/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ios-10-pr oblems-here-s-how-to-fix-the-most-common...

    In short, everything Unsync broken playlists (i.e. remove them your phone) and then add them in.  It took a bit big for me to understand how juggling UNSYNC all my playlists without him also remove the associated music (mainly because I did not want to wait that it will copy my entire library over), but after I made, my playlists all started working for me again.

    Maybe he'll help with date rules as well?

  • How do I rate songs in the smart playlist in 12.4.3?

    The "evolution" If iTunes makes me crazy. I have a smart playlist, songs that I have evaluated. I want to play songs in the list and rates but can't find the rating column and don't see side option, when I right-click.

    The only way I found to do this is to open the Info on the song and he do. It is a ROYAL pain.

  • iTunes: unable to read smart playlist in Windows 10

    I use iTunes, 10 64-bit Windows. iTunes Version: 12.4.3.1

    I created a smart playlist that has 240 songs in.  When I tried to play the smart playlist, using all available options to play the playlist, it is unable to play.  Nothing happens.  No error on the screen. nothing.  It is not just anything!

    However, I am able to play a song in the playlist by clicking the button play the song or right click > option on the song to play.  And while the song is played, if I try to move to the next song in the playlist, playback stops.  I can manually select any song in the playlist and play.  The song is played to the end and playing then stop.  He don't play the next song.

    I checked that shuffle is not lit (also tried with shuffle on), make sure the 'skip on shuffle' is not checked and we tried to recreate the playlist several times with nothing doesn't.

    No problem with any other smart playlists that have more pieces than this embarrassing playlist.

    Help, please.

    A proposal, you accidentally ctrl + click on a checkbox in this list, uncheck all the items it contains. Uncontrolled elements are ignored during normal playback of track in track but can be played on a wide basis. CTRL + click on a box empty or use Ctrl + A, then the context menu to check the selection.

  • 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.

    Tacos of thought says:

    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.

  • How to remove all the songs in a playlist of my itunes library?

    My request here is, is it possible that I can select all the pieces that I have selected in iTunes and delete all of these songs in my iTunes library. To clarify I'm asking not how to remove and individual songs or how to remove a playlist, I want the songs within a time to be gone, or deselected somehow.

    Basically, I recently bought a new laptop and I've been moving all of my music from the old laptop to the new aid, sticks of memory of 8 GB that I don't have an external hardrive and would rather not pay for someone else to come and move the contents of my hard drive from one to the other. On my previous laptop, I had a playlist containing all the songs I want on my phone for synchronization purposes, as I had too much music to store it all. For reasons to keep this playlist and without having to build all over again I first transferred the music in the playlist of phone. The problem is I now want to transfer the songs that aren't in that playlist aswell, but I can't find anyway to select only the titles so that I can drag them into my memory stick. I can't delete the songs in the playlist one by one as there are almost 6000 titles in there then, obviously, that would be very time consuming.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give

    I would recommend before you do anything destructive with your library you backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library. It is also the tool I would recommend that you use to transfer the library to a computer, first back up and restore then (in a folder empty) to the other machine. Doing it this way means that you get the sides play heads of prosecution, playlists, date added, and that you don't have to erase and reload your content. It also ensures that you have a backup! Hard drives external are quite cheap and you should not skimp. That said, if the two computers are on the same network, you can use SyncToy to copy the iTunes folder from one to the other, if you open the folder music sharing on a computer, so it can be seen from the other.

    As for the original question, Ctrl + A to select everything in a playlist. SHIFT-DELETE to remove it from the library. But I really wouldn't like that.
