Hi Donna,
There are two ways to add tracks to regular playlist in iTunes:
1) Use the contextual menu (VO-Shift-M) after you select your
track(s). One of the menu options will be "Add to Playlist". So I
can select a number of tracks in the songs table, press VO-Shift-M to
bring up the context menu, press "A" to navigate to the "Add to
Playlist" menu option, press Right arrow to navigate to the submenu
list of playlists, and then either use my arrow keys or type the first
letters of the playlist I want to select the playlist.
2) Use copy and paste. In this case, after you select your track(s)
in the songs table you can copy them with Command-C. Then you can
navigate to the playlist in the sources table and paste with Command-
V. The track(s) you copied will be pasted into the playlist.
Method 2 was added in iTunes 8. Some people find this more
intuitive. However, you have to navigate out of the songs table to
the playlist you want to paste tracks into in the sources table. If
you really like this method better, you could get one of the
AppleScripts from the AppleScripts for iTunes site called "Jump to
Playlist". I used this before the "Add to Playlist" was a context
menu option for iTunes.
Let me know if you're interested in this and I'll give you the
instructions for setting this up. You can bind the AppleScript to a
keyboard shortcut (I think I used Command-Shift-J). When you type
the first letters of the playlist name, you're moved to the first
playlist that matches what you've typed. Focus automatically goes to
the playlist in the sources table.

Cheers,

Hi all,
Sorry to ask this again, I know Mary just asked it a few days ago.
But I've been trying to figure out how to add a track to a playlist
for half the night. I can't find the answer in help, and I see no
option for it in the menus. Can someone please explain again how to
do this? Thank you in advance!!!
Donna
