“Which Playlist” iTunes Feature
Thursday, November 2, 2006 / Mac OS X, Software
For a short time there was a very helpful feature on iTunes that most did not know about- while on a song you could click to find out which of your playlists it was in (I forget what you needed to click). Because I have well over 10,000 songs and lots of playlists this was a very helpful feature to me but if it exists anymore I can’t find it. Any ideas?If not, any influence to get it put back?
I had no idea that the playlist location feature existed.. It took me some time and an iTunes update later to find it, but here is how you get to it. In iTunes 7, right click or hold down the “Control” key and click on the song file. In the pop out menu look for “Show in Playlist.” Mousing over that will show you the playlists that that song file is in. Also above the “Show in Playlist” is “Add to Playlist” which will let you add that song to any existing playlist without dragging the song file.I think that is what you were looking for.
