iTunes Top 20 smart playlist strategies
I wish ID3 tags could include multiple genres--playlisting would be so much more flexible. No music fits neatly in one genre. Or another scale for "heaviness".
iTunes Top 20 smart playlist strategies
There is - kind of - a solution to this within the current ID3 system.
The tricks are
1. most sub-genres are named (or can be named) in the format , ie. latin pop, power metal 2. you are free to make your own genres 3. the wonderful smart playlist I, for instance, am kind into dance music and have tons of songs that loosely go into the category "disco". But: these are labeled either "Disco", "Disco house", "Euro disco", "Computer disco" or "80s disco". I can of course select one of these genres individually - but also do this: Genre ends with "disco" gets all songs in the disco branch, ie. not Disco house, being on the house branch. Genre ends with "house" would similarily get me the house styles "House" and "Disco house". Also, Genre contains "disco" yields all disco styles and the related Disco house. In the same manner one could have "Jazz rock", "Progressive rock", "Corporate rock" which all merge into the greater "Rock", also select only the Jazz branch of rock together with pure Jazz. The key is genre naming, and using "ends with" (or "begins with" if you dare...) in the playlist rules. Be creative! |
