This is a simple one, but useful. In iTunes, simply add ".:." in front of the artists you access the most frequently. For example, "Wham!" becomes ".:. Wham!". This has the effect of pushing the so-marked artists to the front of alphabatized lists. This includes not only the artists list in iTunes, but also the list on your iPod (saves a lot of scrolling) and, if you have iTunes set that way, the order of artists in yout iTunes Music folder.

Prioritize certain artists in iTunes
But then you aren't giving correct information... You are saying that ".:. Wham!" sings the song "Boom!" rather than "Wham!". Just a note. I understand the usefulness, if you have many downloaded songs that you never listen to and some which you do, therefore...

You want Wham! at the top of your list?? :) I should talk... the play count on "Safety Dance" in my collection is probably embarassing.

You could also just use an '*'. I do that for all my multi-artist playlists, e.g., *ThisIsAnAlbumName. It would probably look cleaner than .:.TomJones. If you are curious though, . is before * in the ordering scheme, so your .:. is listed before the * I use. I suppose you could further group items this way, if you were compulsive.
Oh, and obviously, this is true in all areas of iTunes and in almost all places in OS X (unless some random app. has its own ordering scheme, it is universal).

Don't mess with artist names...You can simply choose to list by "Play Count" or "Last Played" or "Rating" or better yet, just put your 'special character' in "Comments" and then choose that column to display all your favorite tunes first...

You want to record "your rating" of artists and songs. Why not use the "My Rating" field to built right into iTunes?

... or give the rating to the song directly from the iPod. While the song is playing, press the selection button two times, until you get to the rating screen. Scroll the wheel to give a rating.

Hmm, .:. prioritizes Wham up, must be a typo...Alt-a is probably what the author intended to do... |
