- My iTunes library contains a few entries that are not really music (e.g., comedy or spoken word), and I don't like them cluttering up my "Music" library.
- I have a few streaming radio stations that I listen to often and are listed in my Music library as well. Unfortunately, each radio station has its own special genre (e.g. "Eclectic, Alternative, NPR, Public, News") that doesn't correspond with my own classification scheme. True, you can change the meta-information of a stream, but it reverts back the next time you play it. I've seen this problem described in numerous Mac forums, but without a satisfactory resolution.
Now, when I browse my Music library, it is no longer cluttered with non-music or genres that only apply to a single radio stream. And when I want comedy or radio, I just open up my Audiobooks library. This works nicely for me because I don't have any audiobooks. Presumably, you can also use the other Media Kinds (Podcasts, iTunesU, or Voice Memo) instead, depending on which of those you don't use.
