Jessica, I use playlists to control my sync between iTunes and my iPhone because I have many more songs in my iTunes library than I want on my phone. Playlists are presented in the iTunes sidebar provided you have it turned on. You can toggle it on and off by pressing ctrl + s. The sidebar is where the components of your iTunes library such as music, movies, etc. are listed on the left-side of the screen. Playlists are listed at the bottom of the sidebar provided you have set any up or imported them. When you have playlists listed, putting focus on one of them will present the songs included in that list on the main iTunes screen to the right of the sidebar. If you place focus on the first in that list and start playback, iTunes will play all the songs in that list. If you want to only sync certain playlists with your iDevice, connect the device to your computer and place focus on it in iTunes. Certain tabs or buttons will be presented at the top of the main iTunes screen and you should select the music one. Below the buttons is a section titled Sync Music which should be ticked. There are two radio buttons at the top of this section where you select either the entire music library or selected playlists. I've marked the selected playlists button and below that button is a list of all your playlists which you can tick to mark the ones you wish to sync.

No. I did not try to play the playlists in iTunes because I do not know how and I do not think the playlists made it into iTunes anyhow. I think just the music files got in. I do know how to play music and I have done that and it works, but how do you play a playlist in iTunes? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Lemly" <walemly@xxxxxxxxx To: <accessible-ios@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 20:58:40 -0500 Subject: accessible-iOS Re: m3u files and iTunes Jessica, I'm curious if you tried playing the songs on the imported playlists while in iTunes. I mean selecting the playlist in iTunes so the songs are listed and then selecting a few of them to play. I had no problem importing the few m3u playlists I've brought into iTunes and then using them to control the music I synced with my iPhone. I assume you ticked off these playlists as being the music you wanted to manually sync with your phone?

Then I synced my iPod with iTunes. The music synced, but the playlists did not. I mean I can play a song by going to the songs tab and searching for it or using the table index to find it alphabetically but I do not see the playlists in the playlists tab. Please help. Thank you.
