Deleting a Standard Playlist

If you decide you no longer want a playlist, you can delete it by selecting the playlist on the Source List and pressing the Delete key. A prompt will appear; click Yes and the playlist will be removed from the Source List. (Make sure to check the Do not ask me again check box if you don’t want to be prompted in the future.) Even though you’ve deleted the playlist, the songs in the playlist remain in the Library for your listening pleasure.

Listening to a Standard Playlist

After you have created a playlist, you can listen to it by selecting it on the Source List and using the same controls you use to listen to a CD or music in the Library. You can even search in and browse playlists just as you can the Library or CDs. (That’s the real beauty of iTunes; it works the same way no matter what the music source is!)

Setting the Order in Which a Playlist’s Songs Play

Just like an audio CD, the order in which a playlist’s songs play is determined by the order in which they appear in the Content pane (the first song will be the one at the top of the window, the second will be the next one down, and so on). You can drag songs up on the list to make them play earlier or down in the list to make them play later.
