Import from folders into playlists

Hi all!!

Just bought an iPhone. So now i need to get all my music into iTunes to be able to sync it to the iPhone.
I have all my music organized in folders. How do i import this into iTunes so that the folders become playlists?

I'm sure i'm not the only one with this problem.

You don't need any additional software. It's simple to do in iTunes. Just drag the folders to the Playlist section of the source pane in iTunes. A new playlist with the same title as the folder will be created. The tracks will be imported into iTunes and will be in the playlist.

Best of luck.

Many tools allow to move your music and playlists from your iPod to iTunes, but the only one I know that can do this job for the iPhone is CopyTrans http://www.copytrans.net
