I hate just putting a playlist on random and listening to it. When you have over 9000 files in your library, it makes for a very erratic listening experience. There are certain things that I want to hear more often than others. With the power of Smart Playlists in iTunes, I have been discussing how I accomplish this.
In the first three posts of the series, I have laid out the schematics for playlists that manage the library, exclude songs from my playlists based on specific criteria, and include songs into my playlists based on other criteria.
In this last post, I’m going to talk about how I tie all of these together to create the different playlists that I actually listen to.
In the last two posts, I’ve discussed using Smart Playlists to formulate dynamic playlists that control my listening experience. In the first, I talked about maintenance playlists and in the second, I talked about history playlists.
In this post, I’m going to talk about what I call my Charts playlists. The playlists that make up this group are different criteria for what I actually include in my mix playlists. Let’s get to it!
In the first post of this series, I introduced how I use Smart Playlists to control my iPod listening experience whether I am at home, in the car, or at work. The first group of playlists I discussed are the Types folder which is mainly used for maintenance of the iTunes library.
In the second part of the series, I am going to discuss the History group.
