Singles

I rip all my cds in mp3, while all the songs (usually singles) I purchase are AAC. I have made a "singles" smart playlist:


Kind - is - Protected AAC Audio File

This way, I get a clean playlist with all the songs I have downloaded.

dfbills adds: I made some minor edits to this.

Another use for playlists

I use playlists to set up custom views for song lists. This works with a regular playlist as well as smart playlists.

Since each playlist can have custom columns and be sorted differently, this is easy and quite handy to boot.

Saving battery life on your iPod

One of the tips I was given when I got my iPod was to try and limit yourself to songs that are less than 9 minutes long.

Now, I realize that that tip is predicated on what bitrate the music is encoded at, but as I use the default 128bit AAC, I've created a smart playlist that helps with that.

Time is less than 9:00

Actually, as this is a random playlist, I also have a second line that excludes songs that are shorter than 1:00 as well.
