Songs won't add to my playlist, also how many songs can be added to a playlist?? THANKS
Windows 7
You can add as many as you like.
...becasue you cannot add a song to a Smart Playlist, which has this icon;
or a Playlist folder, with this icon;
I've tried both ways, dragging to the playlist , also right click and add to playlist. Playlist has stopped at 496 with no new songs added. Adding songs to playlist created for country music, country 1 Any more help appreciated THANKS VERY MUCH. Also this problem started with the new I Tune 11
Are you positive that the Playlist is a Regular one (with the musical note), and not a Smart Playlist (with the cog)? You cannot drag anything to a Smart Playlist. By the way, there is no maximum number of songs for either type of Playlist.
In these screenshots below, I'm in the Songs view, but this is the same whether you are in that, the Artists, Albums or Genres views.
1. Playlists shown in the left panel (by turning it on with CTRL+S).
Right-click/add-to-Playlist should produce a view similar to this:
and you can see in my screenshot that only the Regular Playlists are listed in the right context menu. The Smart Playlists are not listed, because you cannot manually add to them.
2. You can also left-click and drag to the Playlists on the left:
and as you do so, a + symbol appears beneath the dragged item. But if you try to drop it into a Smart Playlist, a red circle with a slash through it will appear in the dragged item as you pass over the Smart ones and the Smart Playlists will not highlight.
3. If you do not have the sidebar showing, if you left-click a song and drag it towards the right of iTunes, you will see the Playlists window slide open on the right:
and only the Regular Playlists are shown.
So - which method are you using, 1, 2 or 3 and what happens?
Been using right click, an adding to playlist. Have complied a list of 496 without any problem, then any new song will not add to the list. This all happined after the new I tune update 11. Playlist stuck at 496. HELP!! Thanks Very Much
Okay, I get it about 496, but as I've said, there you can put more than 496 songs into one Playlist:
So at what point does right-click/add to playlist fail?
Have you tried the other methods of adding a song to this problem Playlist? If not, try one of them. If that doesn't work, try the third one. What happens?
Tried all the methods that you had sugested, nothing, now after about one weeks later the playlist starts to upgrade. Can't THANK you enough for all your time and help, this solves the problem. Wino
Have another question. Is there any way to reset the number of plays for each song on a playlist all at once?? Thanks again
Any way to reset the number of plays for each song on a playlist all at once??
Since you ask... Select all (CTRL+A), right-click and click Reset Plays, or use my script LastPlayedNever which also resets the Last Played and Last Skipped dates, and clears any Bookmark position.
