Making a smart playlist smarter?

[chetbaker]

Hi folks

I've started to get the hang of smart playlists, but have come across a problem I'd like to be able to get round.

At the minute I am adding 6 or 7 jazz cds to my iTunes each week.

I have set up a smart playlist which captures all of the new additions which I haven't listened to since the last synching.

That's working fine.... except... my brain doesn't!!!

I can't remember the album name or artist of who I've added, and so when I start my ipod playlist it goes
playlist>song name
which is a bit frustrating as I can't remember who the song is by or what the album is. Therefore when I scroll down I would like to be able to choose the start of an album, but can't .... coz I can't remember which album the song is from.

Is there any way of making my smart playlist smarter, by having a hierarchy of
playlist>album>songname or
playlist>artist>album>songname on my ipod???

I've got a 4G Color, using the 25-03-2005 firmware (thanks to all for helping to get the smart playlists working again!!!)

Gratefully for any thoughts

There's no way to make your Smart Playlists heirarchical. The best suggestion I have is to maybe make a different smart playlist for each album/artist?

Or maybe arrange the songs in your smart playlist by album alphabetically. At least then you'll have songs that are from the same album grouped together.

Thanks for the feedback... much appreciated. Guess I'll have to think of a different way. Part of the fun of the iPod!!
