Wrong approach
Labeling things just makes it easier for kids to find "bad" stuff when you're not looking. I mean, you wouldn't go saying that your solution to keeping kids away from your old Playboy magazines was to put them with all your other magazines in a box marked "Naked Naked Naked", now would you? The more parental thing to do is just don't make them available on the "family" account, or perhaps going so far as to give each child their own account. When you have kids of a number different ages and interests, giving them their own space on the computer goes a long way.
Wrong approach
I think you miss the point entirely. I would love this so that I could set my "party shuffle" or other random playlist without having to worry that my young kids (or my in-laws for that matter) would be hearing inappropriate content. They don't use the machine themselves - they only listen to the music I put on. Kids that are old enough to play with the computer (especially unsupervised) are old enough to hear any music I might own.
Wrong approach
No, I also get the new point you've changed it to, and digging at the explicit tag is still unnecessary to accomplish it. If you want to avoid certain songs, just put them on a "Do Not Play" playlist that is used to filter any other playlist using a smart playlist. This method is useful for "good" songs as well as "bad", like being able to have a "Christmas" playlist that you use to skip holiday songs for the other 11 months out of the year. It is far less complex to do than what is given in this hint and actually accomplishes what you want.
Wrong approach
I use the comments field and it's not to keep the kids out. It's to allow me to choose a playlist without explicit lyrics while I'm working in the house and not have to run to the computer and turn down the volume every time there could be a questionable lyric. |
