Introduction

The best way to organize an iTunes music folder is to use playlists. With playlists, you can select which songs to play and the order they play. You can group songs into playlists by artist, type of music or any other way. You may choose to organize your music into songs you like to excercise to, dance music, or easy listening songs. Below are the steps to organize your iTunes music folder with playlists.

  • You can add more than one song at a time to your playlist by holding the "Control" key while you are selecting songs.
  • When doing step 9, you will need to remember the next time you play that playlist, the song you checked will not play, and you will need to remove the check mark.
