I named this playlist Everything. Now I can see audio, podcasts, movies, PDFs, etc. -- the entire contents of my library, in other words -- in one place.

iTunes 7 split the library up into various sections: Music, Movies, Podcasts etc. However, I find that it's sometimes useful to see every item in your library in one place. To do so, create a smart playlist with the following rule:size is greater than 0MB.

View all iTunes 7 content in one smart playlist
This AppleScript will display the entire Library, as in pre-iTunes 7:
tell application "iTunes" set view of front window to library playlist 1 end tellFor convenience, you can also assign it a shortcut. ---
View all iTunes 7 content in one smart playlist
Thanks Doug, this hint is superior to the original post because smart playlists don't allow the full range of actions (e.g. you can't delete items from the iTunes library.)
I often have other separate iTunes windows up (store, podcasts) and had to make this change to avoid an error:
tell application "iTunes" set view of front browser window to library playlist 1 end tell
View all iTunes 7 content in one smart playlist
Right. I had posted the script off the top of my head, but I used "browser" in the version I've got posted at my site.

How about for an iPod?
Is there a way to do this for an attached iPod? Sometimes files are on the iPod but don't show up in their respective areas (Podcasts, in particular) and it's hard to find them to delete them.
How about for an iPod?
As far as I can tell, this trick won't work on the iPod. Logic suggests using something like this:
tell application "iTunes" set view of front browser window to library playlist 1 of source "My iPod" end tellBut this only shows the "Summary" screen. ---

You can delete items from a smart playlist by holding down the option key and pressing delete, hope that helps. |
