iPhone THE MISSING MANUAL - Cdn.oreilly.com

That nice iTunes even gives you some playlists of its own devising, like“Top 25
Most Played” and “Purchased” (a convenient place to find all your iTunes Store
goodies listed in one place).
Editing and Deleting Playlists
A playlist is easy to change. With just a little light mousework, you can:
•
•
•
•
Change the order of songs on the playlist. Click at the top of the first
column in the playlist window (the one with the numbers next to the
songs) and drag song titles up or down within the playlist window to
reorder them.
Add new songs to the
playlist. Tiptoe through your
iTunes library and drag more
songs into a playlist.
Delete songs from the
playlist. If your playlist
needs pruning, or that banjo
tune just doesn’t fit in with
the brass-band tracks, you
can ditch it quickly: Click the
song in the playlist window and hit Delete or Backspace to get rid of it.
When iTunes asks you to confirm your decision, click Yes.
Remember, deleting a song from a playlist doesn’t delete it from your
music library—it just removes the title from your playlist. (Only pressing
Delete or Backspace when the Library Music icon is selected gets rid of
the song for good.)
Delete the whole playlist. To delete an entire playlist, click it in the
Source list and press Delete (Backspace). Again, this zaps only the playlist
itself, not all the stored songs you had in it. (Those are still in your computer’s
iTunes folder.)
if you want to see how many playlists a certain song appears on, select the track,
c-click (Mac) or Ctrl+click (Windows), and choose “Show in Playlist” in the pop-up
menu.
