 Less Songs on iPod vs. Library?

Questions
redline
 
I have 8966 songs in my Library, thus far. I have rated about 2000 1 Star and I don't want those to synch to my iPod, allowing me more higher or non-rated songs to fit.

I've looked in Doug's AppleScripts to no avail but I may have not recognized what I want.

I'm thinking there must be a way to have all 1 Star rated (or other criteria wanted) tunes be ignored but can't figure out a way to accomplish this.

Is it possible to create a second Library with just the 1 Star songs in that one?

Just open the iPod prefs in iTunes and choose to sync only selected playlists.

Make a smart playlist of all songs except 1 star and sync that to the iPod.

Thanks.

You may have clued me to understanding something, i.e., does the iPod only take playlists, not the Library when you synch?

If that's true, I'd only have to uncheck the 1 Star rated and choose 'only update checked songs' on the iPod menu. Am I off base here?

Thanks again.

It will sync the whole library unless you tell it not to by choosing the 'selected playlists only' option.

You can use the checking and unchecking of songs as well, but I find that it gets really messy with a lot of files and it doesn't update automatically.

For example, using my smart playlist idea, if you're listening to the iPod and decide to make an unrated song a 1-star [you can rate songs on the iPod directly, if you didn't already know that], it will leave the iPod in the next sync, automatically joining the 1 star playlist.

With the check/uncheck method, you have to always do it manually.
