Hi, So, if you wish to use the Copy/Paste method to populate your Playlist, then when you create the new playlist, simply press cmd-n to do this, then copy and paste your items into it. Do not use any of the Smart Playlists that you've created. You can tell whether a playlist is Smart or regular by pressing VO-shift-m on the playlist name, if it is a Smart Playlist, then it will give you the option to Edit the Smart Playlist otherwise that option will not appear. Again, though, you cannot paste items into a Smart Playlist as it is generated by matching criteria that you can set within the Edit Smart Playlist option.
The point is here, that whether or not you believe that you were able to use that method in the past, you are no longer able to do so. Thus, you can either use the Copy/Paste method or the contextual menu of "Add to Playlist" to add items to existing non-Smart Playlists. The only difference now, is that when you create the playlist, do not create it as a Smart Playlist otherwise you won't be able to use the method that you are accustomed to. Later...
