How To Make a Clean Playlist in iTunes

What the **** did I just hear coming out from my sons cute little speaker? If you don’t find ways to oversee what your children are listening to then you could be exposing them to all kinds of crazy explicit language. One way to shield them is to create clean playlists for them to listen to in iTunes.

If you have any apple products such as a Mac computer, iPhone or Apple watch you can make clean playlists in iTunes on your phone or computer. Even it you don’t have any Apple devices you can still use iTunes on any PC .

This is one in a series of posts explaining how to make sure (as best you can) that your kids aren’t exposed to explicit language while listening to music.

Keep in mind that you can only add songs to a playlist that you’ve already purchased. To avoid songs with profanity look for the E in the red square next to the song.
