Hi, First, we need to distinguish between Smart and regular playlists. In your original post, you questioned about copying to a Smart Playlist. This is just not possible in any version of iTunes. A Smart Playlist is populated using matching criteria and thus items are placed in the Smart Playlist automatically when the criteria is met. a regular Playlist can still be populated using the copy and paste method you're used to. Simply make your way through the Songs list selecting all the items you wish in the playlist, then press cmd-c to Copy these selections. If you are creating a brand new Playlist, press cmd-n to create it, type a name for it then navigate to the area where VO reads something about "Drag items here to add them to the Playlist". In subsequent times or if the playlist already exists, simply navigate over to the playlist table, Interact with it and then paste your selection into the list of playlist contents. I tested this in the newest version of iTunes and it worked as I've outlined here. If you still have problems, let us know.
