i have some playlists that I would like to have them in pages but i want some especific information, when i copy and past it in pages don’t matter what‘s showing in my itunes it always will apper the same things, the most Import thing that I want is play count
(iTunes 12.7.5.9)
I tried again and indeed not all the columns shown in iTunes are pasted in Numbers. I swear, geovanile, I'm sure that the first time I got all the columns copied.
Anyway, try this alternative: File -> Print. Then choose Print: Song list and Theme: Custom. When you press Print... choose bottom-left PDF -> Save as PDF instead of real printing. You should get a PDF with the playlist.
The problem with this method is that if you want to have many columns, they will be compressed to fit the paper size resulting with cropped text. Of course you can choose a bigger paper size to workaround this issue.
Another alternative (better in my opinion) is: File -> Library -> Export Playlist... and choose Unicode text. Open the saved txt file in Numbers and, Bob's your uncle, you'll get a spreadsheet with all the data.

I've tried in Numbers instead of Pages and successfully copied and pasted an entire playlist. The result is a neat spreadsheet with columns reflecting exactly what iTunes shows. I set View -> View As -> Songs in iTunes and added the Plays column to get play counts.
the second way is the better I've ever seen but still not perfect, it save a lot of information that I don't want, it's easy to delete though. I'll be using this method until Apple fix the issue THANKS!!
I think it saves all the data, I had tried it before, but I never realize I could open that with numbers, I would always delete and think it was bugged
Great tip! Thanks, Marco.
I totally messed up lol that’s what I’m trying to do, paste in numbers, i changed the settings you said but I still can’t choose
“columns reflecting exactly what iTunes shows“ I’m dying because it never happens *sad face*
Export playlist to Pages
