Creating a wish list

A wish list is a selection of items from the iTunes Store that you would like to purchase at a later date.

To create a wish list:

  1. Choose File > New Playlist.
  2. Name the new playlist "Wish List."
  3. Click iTunes Store (below Store) and find a song you want to add to your wish list.
  4. Drag the song preview from the iTunes Store to the Wish List playlist.
  5. You can drag only individual song previews; you can't drag a link to a song or album, an album cover, or an audiobook preview.

You can listen to the song preview or buy the song directly from your playlist by clicking the Buy button. You can also quickly go to the song, album, or artist page in the iTunes Store by clicking the arrows in the playlist's columns.

After you buy a song in a playlist, the song is downloaded to your iTunes library (a copy is also placed in your Purchases playlist). The song also remains in your Wish List playlist, but double-clicking it plays the whole song instead of just the preview, and the price for the song no longer appears.
