I use smart playlists for most of my music (over 7000 songs) and think they are tremendously interesting. First off, before you set rules, assuming you will have more than one, it is usually best if you switch the combo box that says "All" to "Any" as that will resolve a lot of contradictions.
Once you have your list of rules in place, you just name it and off you go. For instance, I have one in which filters on Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Lou Reed and a few others whom I feel work together. With automatic updating, I was able to rip the latest Springsteen album and the playlist automatically contained the songs. My quejstion is how to keep "shuffle" from grabbing items outside the current playlist? This happens on my MacBook, iMac 24, Nano and iPhone whether I hit the button or shake the handheld devices. Thus, I jumped from a movement in Brahms Fourth to a song by Eminem an experience that nearly knocked me out of my chair. cdh On Aug 23, 2009, at 11:45 AM, rayna424 wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I know I'm asking lots of iTunes/iPod questions, but I get the most > useful information from ya'll, so I've just given up searches.
