Hi Mark, There's probably a better way to do this, but you can move the songs in your workout playlist to your MP3 player by using iTunes' "Show in Finder shortcut" (Command-R), which will let you navigate to each item in the songs outline for your playlist and issue a Command-R. This will launch a Finder window containing the location of your track, and with that track highlighted. Then, you can copy or move the track to your MP3 player, which will show up as one of the devices in the sidebar of your Finder window. If you have more than one track that comes from the same album, you could select and copy them from the same Finder window since they would all be in the same location. However, if your tracks are all in different places, you'll have to close the Finder window (Command-W) and switch back to iTunes (Command- Tab), then move to the next track that you want to transfer in the songs outline, do a Command-R to show its location in Finder, and transfer that track to your MP3 player. So you may have to do this 12 times -- once for each of the tracks in your workout playlist.
