Solution to Smart Playlists not dynamically on iPod!

From Apple today:

If you have an iPod with a Click Wheel, Smart Playlists may stop updating dynamically after you update your iPod with iPod Updater 2005-06-26 or later. For example, if you rate a song on your iPod, the rating appears, but that same song won't appear in a Smart Playlist based on the same rating on your iPod. But this can happen with a Smart Playlist based on any criteria.

Use the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 or later to resolve this.
Note: This issue does not affect iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod.

EQ By Song

In iTunes you can change the Equalizer for each song. Just right-click in itunes and check off equalizer and it will let you change the equalizer for EACH AND EVERY song.

Countdown

I've been playing with some new variations that will drive me to listen to a broader range of music.

My most recent one is Countdown, which is comprised of the following lists...

Countdown 5


My Rating = *****
Last Played is not in the last 1 month
Rank by Random 50 Songs

Countdown 4


My Rating = ****
Last Played is not in the last 1 month
Rank by Random 40 Songs

Countdown 3


My Rating = ***
Last Played is not in the last 1 month
Rank by Random 30 Songs

Countdown 2


My Rating = **
Last Played is not in the last 1 month
Rank by Random 20 Songs

Countdown 0


My Rating = 
Last Played is not in the last 1 month
Rank by Random 10 Songs

This is based on the fact I use ratings of 1 to indicate things to purge.

I set the one month to make sure I start pulling up new stuff, but still want it weighted toward things I like. As I listen to things on here though, I find a re-rate some twos to threes, and some fours down to threes as well.
