So either you listen to albums or you shuffle your whole collection? You never shuffle by genre or by artist? If you do shuffle by genre or by artist, I think you are doing something that is functionally identical to smart playlists. It may not be called a smart or dynamic playlist, but it does the same thing: the computer gives you a list of the tracks, based on the criteria you specified (genre, artist...) So, in a sense, you're using smart playlists without even nowing it. I think people focus to much on the particular implementations and not on what these things actually do, on their function. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29368 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
