REV.PAULIE - 11-28-2009 at 05:37 PM

How does one take a playlist created on iTunes,and then make it into a file to upload onto,say,Megaupload?

In as simple layman's terms as possible.

you need to find the files on your computer and copy each one to a new folder.

my documents -> my music -> itunes

if you want the songs in a certain order, you'll need to [rename] the beginning of each track 01, 02 etc.

then you need a program to zip them up into one file.

this is what most people use:

http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

click the first one [WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 3.91 beta 1], then click [Run]

after you DL it, go the to folder with the songs and when you "right click" it should give you an option to [Add to (folder name).rar]

whenever the program comes up it'll have a box that says it's a trial version only, just click [close] or [x] out of it.

after they're zipped into one file, click the [browse] button on MU and find the file, then upload it.

after it's uploaded, it'll give you a link you can give others.

lemmy know if you need any more help.

With iTunes, you can make a "playlist" with the tracks you want. Once you have the playlist selected, you can "select all" then just right click and "copy" the files to be pasted into a new folder to be uploaded. It helps save you time from digging through your music library folder. This is a giant kick ass reason to use itunes.

After that Murk has it spot on.

I've got a MacBook Pro,and although I'm still One-Finger Charlie on the keyboard,it's fairly easy to use...once I figure out what I'm doing...I uploaded a thing to Megaupload,and everything seems to have worked,,,It's saying the file is "temporarily unavailable",right now...'dunno if it's because I've got a regular/free account,or I screwed something up...we'll see.
