Hi Olivia,
You can also modify Randy's guidelines and select more than 1 track
to add at the same time in step 5. There is a useful tool called
the browser that you can toggle on and off in iTunes with Command-B.
When the browser is turned on, tabbing from the search text field
will move you through three additional columns before you reach the
songs outline. These columns allow you to select the tracks
displayed in the Songs outline by Genre, Artist, and Album, or any
combination of the three.
For example, if you wanted to select tracks from your Music Library
that were by a particular artist, you could select your Music Library
in the source list, then turn on the browser. After you stop
interacting with the source list, tab three times to navigate past
the search text field, and the Genre browser to the Artist browser
column. Arrow down or type the first few letters of the Artist's name
to select. You could additionally tab next to the Album browser
column and select one of that Artist's albums. The songs displayed
in the song list would be "winnowed" to match your browser
selections. You could even select all of them (with Command-A), and
add them to your playlist (steps 6 through 10). Toggle the browser
off again with Command-B.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther
