Prevents smart playlists
Authored by: lavar78 on May 27, '03 11:50:38PM

My workaround involves using a ID3 field I never use (in my case, Composer). If you add something (like "iPod") to each of the Composer fields of your iPod tracks, you can then just add the criterion "Composer is iPod" to all of your smart playlists.

In fact, your iPod playlist could be a smart playlist that only looks for "Composer is iPod." Then you can add songs to your iPod by adding "iPod" to that field.

That might work well if your iPod always has the same subset of your music library; mine is likely to change regularly.  And I wouldn't want ID3 tags being rewritten every time... not to mention that I don't have a spare field!
