how do I transfer a playlist from iTunes to phone in 12.1.26. Why do they keep moving stuff without providing any kind of tutorial on how to do stuff again I hate having to guess where stuff is!

After spending time with Apple Support who told me it was NOT possible, my genius of a husband explained how:


1) Open iTunes with iPhone device connected

2) Go to the playlist "On my Device" - select it

3) Go to File > Library > Export Playlist...

4) Select folder where to save playlist and name the file (it will be saved as a .txt file, or you can choose a different file format.)

5) Go back to iTunes and go to File > Library > Import Playlist...

6) Navigate to same folder and select the file you just saved.


Voila - Playlist will appear in your library (as long as your library has all the same songs as on your phone.)


Note: I don't understand why the new iTunes doesn't have this option if you right click on a playlist, but it works. The apple support guy was confused too. He literally told me that I have to use an external program or iphone app to do this.
