How can I add a song to a playlist on my iPod?

Since I upgraded to iTunes 12, I can't seem to add a song from my music to a playlist on my iPod.


I tried two different ways:


1) Click on Music, then click on Playlists, and show Songs. Open up the iPod in the sidebar by twirling the arrow next to the iPod. I can add a song to the iPod by dragging it over iPod / Music, but I cannot add a song to a playlist by dragging it directly over the playlist name.


2) Click on iPod / Music. Try to drag the song from the iPod's music list to the iPod's playlist. Again, it won't let me.


So, how on earth do I add a song to a playlist???


Thanks

Hey ElisabethR,


I see that you wish to edit some of the playlists on your iPod from your computer and add some songs to them. The best way to do this would be to change the playlist as you wish in iTunes on your computer:


iTunes 11 for Windows: Create a playlist

Then, you can sync these playlists onto your iPod using the information in this article:


Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


Cheers,
