iTunes Help - Finding songs in playlists.

Broke_Student

Hi,

I was hoping somebody can tell me how I can select a song or artist from the library and get iTunes to tell me which of my playlists also features that song/artist.

I will try and explain where I need to be able to do this in a real world scenario;
Let's say I download a few compilations (have them as playlists) and make some of my own playlists from singles. I notice there is an an artist I like which appears in many playlist so I download their entire album. I will not have 2 copies of the single (the first copy and the album copy) so I need to delete the first single and manually replace that song in all my playlists using the new album version.
Trouble is that I need to go through all the playlists looking for that song/artist. This is very time consuming at it is easy to miss a song (so when I delete the original it will be gone from my playlists forever and I will never realise!!).

Thanks.

Bump. Any iPod fans here?

Right click on the song on the "music" of your itunes and then go to "show in playlist" and it should have a list of all the playlists that song is on.
