Sandy, the play list is nothing more then a list of songs and their locations. It's an easy way to create lists of all the songs you have on your device. Let's say you have a large library of ten thousand songs. It's a pain in the neck to have to look through that many songs just to find something to listen to. Now let's say you want to make up a play list for all your favorite songs. The play list permits you to do just that. It also does not mean your tied to that play list. People are subject to change and you might add more music to that collection so that's why there is an edit feature which permits you to add or delete songs from that favorites list. This is just a very simple explanation just so you get the idea of why play lists can be your friend so to speak. You can add a song to a play list or an album. You can go as far as you want to with it even adding play lists to play lists.
I know professional disk jockeys here in Las Vegas who show up to the job with an iPod rather then just a computer. Also it lets you pause a play list and sneak a selected song into the mix and then back to the play list in case you take requests. Hope that answers your question of what are play lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sandy Finley To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 6:01 PM Subject: RE: MP3 files and iTunes Ok, now I have added the music through the Add Folders to Library feature; they're all there. Now what is it I'm doing with a play list? I don't get that part. Is there any virtue in converting the music from MP3 to some other file extension? Thanks a lot.

Did you do this through iTunes using the File, Add File to Library or File, Add Folder to Library menu options? My understanding is that music on your computer that you want to sync with your iDevice must be in your iTunes library and must reside in the folder structure you've identified to iTunes in its Edit, Preferences options. After you ensure that is the case, using playlists to control what content is synced is the way I handle music transfers.

I have copied them into my music library. I have a couple of questions. All of the music is by one artist; it is all in one folder in the same manner as the rest of the music files. And when I open an album file I see the individuall tracks, eachof which has an MP3 extension. . On my phone I see the artist but I don't see all of the music. Some of the albums don't show up at all. I right clicked on the individual song titles thinking I'd find a place to convert the file from MP3 but it's not there. Is there a way to do what I want to do? Thanks. Sandy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
