Dragging or moving albums into playlist files
Is it possible to move an entire album into a file or must it be done song by song?
IBM, Windows XP
I can't seem to drag the albums like I can drag the individual songs.

It doesn't seem possible to drag an entire album to place it into a particular playlist. When I attempt that, I see the shadow of the album along with a red number indicating, I think, the number of tracts but I also see a crossed circle. When I attempt to deposit the album into the playlist it just doesn't happen so I figure the circle with the x in it overrules everything else.
Am I doing something wrong or is there really a way to drag or otherwise transfer an entire album into a playlist?

See if this iTunes movie tutorial helps you.

It shows how to add songs to playlists but you should be able to drag anything from the iTunes browser to a playlist in the same way.

Well thank you for that but it just explains how to drag individual songs but not total albums. I have attempted the same procedure on Albums and it just doesn't seem to work for me.
Thanks for the effort,

You're almost there... you can only drop the bunch of track onto regular playlists, these show up as blue rectangles with a black note on them. When you hover over one of these the black-barred circle switches to an arrow, let go of the mouse button and the tracks will be added to the playlist.
