Creating Playlists
Library
Before you begin creating playlists, you need to add songs to your library. The library can be a convenient place to store all of your music files and keep them organized.
To add files to your library, go to the File menu and select Add to Library. Here, you can select which files you'd like to add. Also, you can drag music files from a folder to the Librry icon in the iTunes window. You'll notice a small green plus sign beside the file's icon when you have it in the right place. Another way to add files to the library is to drag their icons to the iTunes icon in the dock.
iTunes makes it easy to find the songs you're looking for, even when you've built up a large library. In the top right corner of hte iTunes window is a Search box.
Here, you can type an artist, title, genre, or any other comments that you've used to describe your music files. iTunes will list any library items matching your search.
| To the right of the Search box is a round button. When you're in your library, this button will have an eye on it; this is the Browse button. It allows you to browse through the artists, genres, and albums in your collection. |  |
Extra Hint - Eliminating Duplicate Tracks So you've added your music collection to your library, and you discover that you have several songs that appear more than once. Don't feel like scrolling through dozens, perhaps hundreds, of tracks to hunt down duplicates? When you're in your Library, go to the Edit menu and select "Show Duplicate Songs." iTunes will display the duplicate tracks so you can easily delete them. |
