Adding Songs to a Playlist

The whole point of creating a playlist is to add songs to it. Whether you created an empty playlist or one that already has some songs in it, the steps to add songs are the same:

1. Select the Library as the source.
2. Browse or search the Library so that songs you want to add to the playlist are shown in the Content pane.
3. Select the songs you want to add to the playlist by clicking them (remember the techniques to select multiple songs at the same time). To select all the songs currently shown in the Content pane, press Ctrl+A (Windows) or „+A (Mac).
4. Drag the selected songs from the Content pane onto the playlist to which you want to add them. When the playlist becomes highlighted and the cursor includes a plus sign (+), release the mouse button (see Figure). The songs will be added to the playlist.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have added all the songs you want to include in the playlist.
6. Select the playlist on the Source List. Its songs will appear in the Content pane. Information about the playlist, such as its playing time, will appear in the Source Information area at the bottom of the iTunes window.
