Creating Smart Playlists

[mergendy]

How does one do this? Does the iPod have to be synced?

Go to File/New Smart Playlist...
The iPod doesn't have to be synced.

But what do you really want to do?

I wanna see if Smart Playlists are as good as people say :cool:

I was thinking I might make the first one something like, play songs that only have a few plays so my iPod can begin jogging my memory by surprising me with good choons from years ago...:D

[Essin]

For laughs, make a smart playlist that selects song with a playcount >10 that hasn't been played in the last 6 months. There be your old favourites.

Many thanks, will try and get down to this soon!

(54 SPs in iTunes, 29 synced to iPod, and counting)

SP's will really start to shine when you start rating songs and also play them a lot so you get Play Count and Last Played/Skipped info to fool around with
