I want to transfer a folder (contains 500 songs) from my PC hard drive to a playlist. How is this done? I can transfer the folder to the itunes library but then the 500 songs are scattered in the music library.

In iTunes right click on your device and select New Playlist. Name your playlist. I just select the tunes I want in my windows folder and drag them into the new iTunes playlist and drop them there.

OK, I presume you have the songs loaded into iTunes. You wish to have the songs that you JUST loaded put into a specific playlist.

Create a list -

Either a smartlist or a playlist

Locate the songs by sorting by date added

Place the songs in the order of your choice in std playlist

OR

Create a smartlist, add criteria - once songs show, you should be ok
