Hi Gary, do you have any idea how to export a playlist as one mp3 file using MUSIC on Big Sur ? it was easy with iTunes, but I can't find a function within MUSIC anymore. Any Alternatives recommended? I'd love to have a playlist, gentle fading from one title to another and the ability to export this playlist, either in loop or rand0m play, as one single mp3 file best regards Carsten, Berlin, Germany
Is there any way to drag a song and place it in the play list exactly where I want it? On my Mac it always sends the track to the bottom automatically and it's a pain to afterwards drag it to its position when I have 40 or 50 tracks on the list already. thanks!
Gary, I have just had to factory reset my mac and load MaOS Big Sur and basically start over. You are an awesome teacher, and have been so helpful. THANK YOU!
Another way to get a song list fast. Do this: choose Songs, √ View, √ Show Filter Field, Enter any words you like. (Upper/Right corner) Enter. You will get a list of all songs that have your word/s ... like "Midnight".
Can you assist in importing old playlists from another iTunes Library - a PC - to a Mac Music Library? Many have older playlists to incorporate into a new Mac. Thanks for your excellent presentations.
@@macmost is there a way to tell from the songs list tab what playlist they are in ? Hope that makes sense . I want to see all my songs in the songs tab and the playlist the song is apart of . Is that possible?
@@macmost I just restored my music and now have to create my playlists again. I want to know if each song is assigned to a playlist. How could I do this in the song tab view . Is that possible?
@@DARV2121 No, it isn't possible. But how would that help you recreate playlists. Just create a playlist, add the songs you want to it, and continue. Maybe I'm missing something here about how you use playlists.

HI Gary, How can I find a song title in an Apple music playlist? It looks like I can only find the title in Library search, but not within an individual playlist as I could with iTunes.
The playlist IS a list of song titles. Or, do you mean find the location of a song in a playlist? I don't think there is a way to search for a song's position in a playlist. But if you type a key it will jump to the first song that has an artist starting with that letter.
I am trying to sync my iphone and macbook Apple Music but I have some songs and Albums that are on my Phone that are not on my Computer and some Music that is on my computer that is not on my phone . Is there a way I can sync both devices to have all music from both without losing anything on either device ??
Not using the old-fashioned sync. How did those albums get on your iPhone before? Were they on your Mac and then you deleted them from your Mac? Get them back again from the same source.
Great stuff. Question about the smart playlist - if I’ve set it to pick 10 songs at random that match my criteria, and my library has, say, 100 songs that fit the criteria, will I always get the same 10 songs in the smart play list, or will it select another 10 at random the next time I open it?
Hi, how fix this: when returning to the previous playlist, for example, the tenth track was highlighted, how to get right to it, and not to the first track in the playlist.
In ITunes it was easy. In Music, I could not figure it out. Till this video. Thanks!! Do this: Smart play list; √ match [music], [title], [contains], [word or words of your choice], [100], items by [title]. You will get a list of all songs that have your word/s in the title... like "Midnight".
Download from where? If an artist offers downloads of music as files, then sure. But then you just have files. Listening to music works better in a dedicated app like the Music app or some third-party player.
@@macmost I’m a dj that uses Serato & downloads music from a 3rd party site. But when I download the mp3s, they go to my downloads folder AND Apple Music app. I do not want my music going to Apple Music. I just want it on the laptop. Otherwise it makes dbls in my serato library. I only want music I purchased from Apple to show in Apple Music library. Not the downloads I get from another site. Is this possible?
Thanks for the video. In my case I use Playlists view as songs because is the only way to see more info about the song like BIT RATE or BPM for ex. but in this mode you can get rid of Album Artwork Images wich is half of the screen. I don't know who the f.. design this but I want to see the songs names in my playlist and not Art work images half of the screen and there is no option to take it out unfortunately. it's so stupid ...
Thanks, You make it all sound really easy, but things happen in playlists like songs refusing to move after you've added them, actually appearing to have moved only to jump back minutes later to where they were, and often not syncing to other devices. Apple music continues to be a huge source of frustration.
Thanks so much Gary. You did a video on how to store your songs onto an external drive about a year ago. The preferences have changed in Apple Music now. Do you have an update on that topic?
I'm doing everything your showing and I can't do any of it. The song won't go into playlist. And when I move my cursor up to song at top everything is grayed out
CAAN YOU MAKE VID ON HOW TO FIX LIVE STREAMING IS NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW PLSSSS I NEED HELP CUSEE AM TRYING TO GET A STREAM KEY FOR OBS BUT UA-cam STUDIO SAYS LIVE STEAM NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW
Sorry, I don't know what the problem could be for you there. It is a UA-cam issue, obviously. Or maybe with OBS. Try restarting everything and see if that helps.
Adding seems easy enough, but I have so many playlists that the app takes forever to come up and display the songs. How can I delete all the playlists at once rather than one at a time...
I’ve been having a problem with my music app opening by its self on my new Mac mini. Have you ever heard of this and if so could you recommend how to get it to stop doing it… Thanks!
Does it happen when you plug in another device, like an iPhone? Or are you using an Bluetooth device -- sometimes headphones and speakers connect and automatically send a "play" when connected.
Thanks. It's so simple but I have such a mess. Do you have a video to delete duplicates from a huge amount of music? I have albums and best of albums and want to keep the albums the same without removing duplicates but in iTunes you get all the duplicates from the different albums(best of, original album, single, from a friend, etc.) And what happens when you want to put it on your phone? I hope itunes and iphone and want to do it manually because otherwise I get this duplicate mess. I moved all my music to an external drive, and working from there throwing what I don't want, and then will important them again... this is the result of so many years of iTunes. Since the start of the iPod. Where are those videos? Can you send links? Jackie
I don't know of a way to do that. You'd need to be able to specify that a song was part of multiple albums at multiple positions and that just isn't there.
Hi Gary! I have a problem with my preview! Some or all of the highlighted texts in preview disappear the next time I open the PDF file. Can you please suggest me a remedy? Thank you!
You can add a song to a playlist from anywhere. So if you see a song in one playlist, you can add it to another just like you can if you see it anywhere.
@@macmost Thank you Gary for your quick reply. The issue I have is that each time I add or use drag-and-drop the songs copy but my need is to move them. For example, I have a large playlist A and want to move the songs to new playlists B and C. Don't want the songs to remain in playlist A. Seems the only way to do this is to first add the songs and then manually remove them from playlist A. Fine for one or two but not hundreds of songs.
Any idea how to export a playlist using MUSIC as one large mp3 file? My goal is to get a smooth mix of let say 30 titles ... exported to a single mp3 file
Click on the three-dots button for that song in the list, and select Play Next. This will add just that song to your Up Next List. As long as you don't have anything else in Up Next, you should get that one song and nothing else.
@@macmost , These are my own songs (for a show) in the playlist. How do I get them to play just one at a time, then stop. In other words, how do I disable automatically going to the next track.
@@rongletherow2682 Put them in a playlist. Click the three-dots and then Play Next. Then when you want the next to begin, do the same thing with that next song.
So I want to use my playlist as part of a theatrical show, but I can't have the songs play back-to-back automatically. How can I change things so it only plays one song at a time and then stops?
@@macmost That didn't seem to work. I remember the old Mac had a box next to the song you could check, which was great because I could play anything and it would never go to the next song.
The thing I hate the most about using Music on Windows/Mac is that I can't drag and drop music into my playlists whilst in the 'For You' or 'Browse'. This makes navigating the UI extremely tedious and frustrating because when you hit those tabs, the left sidebar disappears. I have to right-click every track or album to then add to a playlist. Not to mention, adding songs to playlists is very laggy and slow despite having fast internet connection. Spotify has never had this issue, very fast and I can actaully drag Music to playlists without needing to add to library first.
I'm trying to follow your directions, but the songs keep listing in alphabetical order. I don't want them in alphabetical order. Not sure how to fix it. Good Video by the way.
How did you get the files into iTunes from your hard drive? Everything else you're saying is so obvious it's a joke to go over it, but the one things I can't do it get the music into the app.
So you have music files right now? And I assume you mean the Music app, not iTunes, unless you are many versions of macOS behind. You can drag and drop in the Library section in Music, onto the Music app icon in the Dock, or use File, Import.
This is alI very well if you have a present library of a few hundred songs,there are a lot of people like me who have over a hundred thousand songs and playlists with possibly 1000 sons or more of mixed artists and you have possibly 40-50 of them then this system is a long tiresome job and is the reason why I will no longer update my OS system.These tips are for the new breed of Apple users and novices.I have been collecting music on my various iTunes libraries since the beginning of iTunes.I had on my older iPad around 29,000 tracks from my iTunes library and updated on my new IPad Pro 2020 and lost all my playlists.I had to redo all my playlists from a much smaller amount of tracks compared to my iMac library on the old iTunes and that took me weeks to do.I would not want to do that for my full library for the sake of having a few mor funny faces and a OS that’s like a mobile OS.If there was a way of transferring my iPad playlists back to the new music app that at least be a start.I’m not impressed with the way Apple is going and is really stopping me buying a newer IMac although my current one is the highest spec 5K iMac.I realise that Apple are more interested in selling you a subscription to Apple Music.I wonder why people bother as there are so many streaming free music apps.
thanks for the video. Look. I've been doing the same for ages. Importing an album in Music, click right, Create a new play list and get the playlist with ocver and tracks. I can't do it anymore on my 2024 macbook air. When I do the same, I got a red square where I've to put the name of the track list and the visual by myself and it takes ages..it doesn't make any sence.. thanks in advance. best. Lionel
Sorry, I don't know what you are experiencing there. Keep trying things or call Apple Support and work with them to figure out what could be going wrong.
@@macmost No no, i mean Playlists order, not songs. For example, i created several playlists: Work mus, Run Mus, Sleep Mus and so on. And i want to change it’s order, upper or down. I can’t do it, it seems that i should only change the name of the Playlists to change it’s order. May be there are some tricks?
@@TipaFilosoph If you click on All Playlists, then you can sort the playlists in there using View, Sort By. But you can't sort them in the sidebar of that is what you mean. They are just alphabetical. You can't set a manual order or anything. You could always chose names with numbers or letters to force an order.
@@macmost One more question. Just updated to Monterey. And i have some discomfort with Music app. I created playlist, sorted as Songs, and songs displayed only half of screen, upper half showed the album's picture. It's really discomfortly. Do you know how to hide the upper section? I mean where it's showing name of the playlist and albums song pictures? Pls help

How do you transfer the playlist into your iPhone! I swear this new music app sucks iTunes was way easier! Why make something that’s working into something that’s complicated

How did you get the files into iTunes from your hard drive? Everything else you're saying is so obvious it's a joke to go over it, but the one things I can't do it get the music into the app.
So you have music files right now? And I assume you mean the Music app, not iTunes, unless you are many versions of macOS behind. You can drag and drop in the Library section in Music, onto the Music app icon in the Dock, or use File, Import.
thank you
This is alI very well if you have a present library of a few hundred songs,there are a lot of people like me who have over a hundred thousand songs and playlists with possibly 1000 sons or more of mixed artists and you have possibly 40-50 of them then this system is a long tiresome job and is the reason why I will no longer update my OS system.These tips are for the new breed of Apple users and novices.I have been collecting music on my various iTunes libraries since the beginning of iTunes.I had on my older iPad around 29,000 tracks from my iTunes library and updated on my new IPad Pro 2020 and lost all my playlists.I had to redo all my playlists from a much smaller amount of tracks compared to my iMac library on the old iTunes and that took me weeks to do.I would not want to do that for my full library for the sake of having a few mor funny faces and a OS that’s like a mobile OS.If there was a way of transferring my iPad playlists back to the new music app that at least be a start.I’m not impressed with the way Apple is going and is really stopping me buying a newer IMac although my current one is the highest spec 5K iMac.I realise that Apple are more interested in selling you a subscription to Apple Music.I wonder why people bother as there are so many streaming free music apps.
thanks for the video. Look. I've been doing the same for ages. Importing an album in Music, click right, Create a new play list and get the playlist with ocver and tracks. I can't do it anymore on my 2024 macbook air. When I do the same, I got a red square where I've to put the name of the track list and the visual by myself and it takes ages..it doesn't make any sence.. thanks in advance. best. Lionel
Sorry, I don't know what you are experiencing there. Keep trying things or call Apple Support and work with them to figure out what could be going wrong.

How to change playlists order ? Trying to drag it, but it can't
Dragging is how you do it. Click and hold one song in the playlist, then wait a second, then drag it down under a different song.
@@macmost No no, i mean Playlists order, not songs. For example, i created several playlists: Work mus, Run Mus, Sleep Mus and so on. And i want to change it’s order, upper or down. I can’t do it, it seems that i should only change the name of the Playlists to change it’s order. May be there are some tricks?
@@TipaFilosoph If you click on All Playlists, then you can sort the playlists in there using View, Sort By. But you can't sort them in the sidebar of that is what you mean. They are just alphabetical. You can't set a manual order or anything. You could always chose names with numbers or letters to force an order.
@@macmost Thank you very much! Now it’s clear 👍🏻 Now I’m your subscriber 😊
@@macmost One more question. Just updated to Monterey. And i have some discomfort with Music app. I created playlist, sorted as Songs, and songs displayed only half of screen, upper half showed the album's picture. It's really discomfortly. Do you know how to hide the upper section? I mean where it's showing name of the playlist and albums song pictures? Pls help
Great video Garry and first in
Why all of a sudden when I have a playlist on my Mac to copy on disc I'm only getting a small number of songs recorded then it finishes copying? this never happened before
Hard for me to tell. Are you using Apple Music? iTunes Match? Are you sure all of the songs are actually there -- can you play them?
@@macmost I am using music that I have downloaded into Itunes from purchased cds. Then,I like you demostrat I make up personal playlists. In the past there was no problem having all the songs copied onto discs. Now it doesn't copy all the songs. perhaps 6-8 if Im lucky
Yes I can play them on my Mac
ANY ANSWERS FOR THIS?
Why can't they use folders?
I can't take a song in a playlist and drag it to a different position. Why?
Is it a regular plain playlist, or a Smart Playlist or something else?
How do you transfer the playlist into your iPhone! I swear this new music app sucks iTunes was way easier! Why make something that’s working into something that’s complicated
If you are using Apple Music then it is automatic. If not, you have to sync from your Mac to your iPhone the old fashioned way. ua-cam.com/video/sm7r0pwP8Cw/v-deo.html
Good explanation but this Music app is so unintuitive it drives me crazy
Dragging and dropping dosent change anything and nothing shows in the playlist
How do I delete a playlist...
On the Mac, select the playlist in the left sidebar, then press Delete.
Trying to add a playlist to your iPhone is a pain in the ass.
Can I ask Siri to play a specific playlist? For example, while riding my bike, can I ask for a different playlist?
Yes!
@@RamMohammadJosephKaur Thanks.
I can't drag anything into music on my mac monterey... I can't believe apple gets worse, they're supposed to get better
What are you trying to drag in and to where? Try a standard mp3 file and drag it into the Library section in the left sidebar.
@@macmost thank you... I've been trying to drag a folder of MP3 into a playlist, I'm sure I used to do this with iTunes, but can't do it with the new mac.... The word program also corrects my spelling so I fight the machine over that, I use unusual words, I really don't like the way the system is set up and works.... Maybe I'll get used to it and become a fan, eventually... Thank you
I hate Apple music, it's the most stupid and painful app I ever used.
thank you
