iTunes 6.0.2 Allows Per-Podcast Retention

Originally posted here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060113165457819&lsrc=osxh

The latest version of iTunes has the ability to keep podcasts on a per podcast basis. This is accessed by right clicking each podcast and choosing "Do Not Auto Delete."

This functionality was previously only available using "Cast Away" from Wooden Brain Concepts. Check it out if you need more options.

Understanding iTunes Symbols

Apple has posted "iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs". A great reference-

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.

Complete Delete

Not a big hint, this one, but I just made what was, for me, a useful discovery; a keyboard shortcut that I didn't previously know.

If you select a track and press Option-Backspace, it deletes it from the current playlist and the library and (optionally) from the disk (ie it moves it to the Trash).

I have an SPL which lists podcasts added more than 2 months ago which haven't been given a rating. Being able to use this as a basis for deletion is very handy.

dfbills adds: I thought for sure that this was already on the site as it is one of the best shortcuts and one that I use daily.

Let a song play to the end - then stop.

I use Party Shuffle at work, pulling songs in from a SPL, with cross-fades turned on. Sometimes when I hear a song, especially one of my all-time favorites, I don't want another song to come immediately after it. I just want silence to let the tune bounce around my head for a bit. Or it's the last song of the day on a Friday afternoon, and I don't want a slow/quiet song to come on after it and ruin my mood.

So instead of trying to time the press of the stop button, I made a normal playlist called "Silence" which contains no songs, and change my Party Shuffle source to that. That clears out any songs after the currently playing one which you can't otherwise do (if you delete one it's replaced).
