Your iTunes is a great way to store and organize your music any way you want it. Even with so many songs stored in it, it’s understandable if you would want to separate some songs from the general. Make playlists for your workout songs, sad songs, driving songs and any other categories you can come up with using these steps.
- Download iTunes from Apple.com for free and make sure that you have the latest version of the program.
- Set iTunes as your default music player after installing it.
- Launch iTunes.
- Go to your music folder via your OS’ explorer and double click them to launch in iTunes.
- Make sure that songs are labeled correctly. This will make it easy to organize later on. To edit song information, right-click on the song and choose the “Get Info” option. You can edit the song details in the different tab options.
- To see the list of playlists available in your iTunes, look at the left column. The playlists populates the latter part of the list in the column.
- Aside from the playlists that you make on your own, iTunes also generates its own playlists or default playlists. These include the Party Shuffle, 80s music, 90s music and On the Go. Like playlists you make on your own, these default playlists can be edited or deleted completely.
- The playlists labeled My Top Rated, Top 25 Most Played, Recently Added and Recently Played include songs based on your music listening pattern. This will make it easier for the user to access songs that the user is most fond of, or music that has been recently uploaded into iTunes. You can also edit and remove content in these playlists.
- Create a new playlist by doing either of the following. One way is to go to the toolbar and click on File and choose New Playlist. The other way is quicker: Simply look for the + sign on the lower left part of the iTunes browser, and it will generate a new playlist. The new playlist should show up on the Playlist menu below.
- Name the new playlist by double-clicking on “New Playlist”, and type the name, preferably something that will describe the category adequately enough.
- Now, click on the iTunes Library on the left column of your iTunes. Browse your songs. Right-click on one that you want to go in the playlist. A list of options will pop up. Choose “Add in Playlist” and the available list of playlists will pop up. Click the playlist you want the song to be included in. Another way to add a song to your playlist is to left-click the song and drag it to the chosen playlist on the left column of iTunes.
- If you’re choosing multiple songs to include in your playlist, hold down the CTRL button while left-clicking the song titles. Once you’re done, right-click on the last highlighted button and add the titles in your playlist.
- Check out your playlist by clicking on the playlist name on the left column. The list of songs you’ve included should be there.
- If you have an iPod, your new playlist will be automatically updated in it in your next syncing.
