Create smart playlists for all artists in iTunes

Why on earth would you want to do this? All those Smart Playlists will slow iTunes to a crawl, and you can get superior functionality by just pressing the "Browse" button in the lower-right of your window.

Create smart playlists for all artists in iTunes
Authored by: DavidRavenMoon on Mar 09, '07 07:30:40AM

Yeah I can't figure out why this is useful either. I almost never use the browse feature, but I do sort my main window by artist anyway. So I just scroll to the artist I want.

If I really want to save time I just type part of the name in the search field. Takes all of two seconds.

A lot of tips on here seem like the hard way to get to a simple solution! What's next, control iTunes though the terminal? (ooh all that typing... how very geekish!) ;)

I usually end up with too many playlist anyway, and they are always changing, like when I get a new album...

Create smart playlists for all artists in iTunes
Authored by: renatomarques on Mar 09, '07 01:48:57PM

Ok, I was really looking for something like this (actually,
I found it through google). However, I am a one-month Mac
user, coming from Gate$$ lands, and do not have even a clue
on how to make this script run.
Anyone can help me with som elink to a tutorial on
"what is a script", "how to run a script", etc??
And, if there is some specific place I should place this one, I
would also thank a lot for the advice.
Hope this is not a bother for you guys.
Thanks a lot

See Doug's site for more information. (Look in the "manual install" portion.
