I have a handfull, under 10, static playlists that I keep around always. Very occasionally I'll make a playlist for a party/event, but only in situations where I really want to control the exact content and wouldn't be happy with a random play of a set of genres (most likely) or use a Pandora station. I use static playlists for cases where I can't generate the list from tags. For example, I have a list called "Female Folk singers", which actually pulls from several genres (Folk, Bluegrass, Country, Alt). I have another called "Evening Jazz", which is just my personal, subjective selection of jazz I'd like to hear with dinner. Again, not something I can easily create with tag filters. I have a similar playlist called "BigBand Dinner". I also uses static lists to pull together material of a very narrow but meaningful (to me) criterion. For example, I have a list that collects folky-bluesey-R&B tunes that feature hammond organ. Weird, I know. Anyway, all of these are built by hand -- just go through my collection bit-by-bit and decide if a piece belongs. In fact, I think I built most of them in J.River Media center. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wnshall's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94988 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
