But when the time comes to create that playlist, most people don’t know how to create a playlist on iTunes and that makes them frustrated. Basically, you have to add a few songs to iTunes library and add them to your Playlist and you can use a third-party app to transfer an already created playlist to iPhone. Both of these are very genuine options and they are elaborated in details in this article.

Editing is very simple, you can either change the listing by changing the order of the files or you can completely remove an item by deleting them. Most of the users think that deleting an item from the playlist will remove the file completely but that is not true, if the file is added to the library then it will only be deleted from the playlist but it will remain on the Hard Drive.
