The solution was based on this AppleScript snippet I found on the Internet, with some changes to make it work the way I wanted it to work. The script adds albums to a playlist based on the songs I recently played. In that way, the iPod is always filled with the music I'm enjoying right now. 2br Here is the script: To use this script, you need to create two playlists: One smart playlist called Recently played (for iPod), with time-based selection limits (like the built-in Recently Played playlist), and whatever other conditions you want to apply (e.g. no audio books). The ability to add my own conditions is why I used my own version of the Recently Played playlist, instead of the provided version. The second playlist is a standard playlist called Copy to iPod. The Copy to iPod playlist is the one that will be synced with the iPod.
The major drawback is that you have to play a song first in iTunes (playcount must be raised) before the album containing the song will be copied to the iPod.
