I've been using iTunes since 2001 and am familiar with how to rename a playlist, but since iTunes has been replaced with Music I can't see how to name or rename a smart playlist or for that matter any playlist.
Has anybody out there got the answer?
I've just spoken with Apple Support and the solution couldn't be easier. Instead of right-clicking on "Playlist" in the list of playlists (as we used to do), we go to the main window of the playlist (where we see the songs in the playlist) and click on the current name of the playlist, which is seen toward the top of the screen. Clicking on the current name lets us change the name.
19st-Di33's response should be marked as the right answer. That said, it's sad I even had to look it up. I tried at least three different ways to rename a playlist that were similar to old ways. I even looked it up in the Music help menu, which didn't specify the specific place that you had to click on the playlist name.
Thanks for that, but I'm a dinosaur.
I keep all my music on my Mac and sync it to a 5th generation iPod.
I've since found that if I create a new playlist and transfer my original playlist to it I can then rename it, but it won't work with a smart playlist.
Anyway thanks again for the advice it looks like I either buy an iPhone or just live with it
.
You can change the name of a playlist in your iphone but not in "Music" on your computer, strange......
I's easy when you know how, I was so used to the old way it left me baffled.
It works great, many thanks from "the dinosaur" - problem solved!
