Smart iTunes Playlist use for small iPods
Authored by: joestalin on Aug 15, '03 12:36:03PM

Another option you might explore is to create a set of 10-GB playlists using the "create random playlists" script:

It's very flexibile--I've used it to split one massive playlist into several smaller ones I could burn to audio CDs.

Another smart-playlist approach is to create one with the condition "play count < 2" or whatever, plus your size limit, so you can re-expose yourself to the dusties in your collection--speaking of which: does playing a track on an iPod add into the playcount as show in iTunes when you sync?

The number of times played and last played onyour iPod show up in iTunes if and only if you sync your iPod. If you do it manually as I do, then you can see all this information on your iPod from within iTunes, but the librarys of the two remain distinct. This is only bad for me since I use a "rarely played" smart playlist. This list is "all songs whose last played is less than 90 days (about how long it took me to go through 3000 songs). Well, if I remove a song from the iPod to make room for a new one and then add it back, I may have just heard it, but that statistic is gone.

I want to synch my iPod so that IT matches my iTunes. I listen to a lot of music on iTunes and little on iPod. Ideally I'd like to ADD the numbers together and then zero out one or the other and do this when it synchs (uh since this is the only intelligent way to do it anyway, what the heck good is a playcount that only counts some of the times you've played a song)
