You know the feeling: You bought a new heavy rock album, and it just can't cope with anything Black Sabbath made in the Good Old Days.
There are a couple of good tracks (which lured you into buying the album) but the rest is mediocre stuff.
So, my favorite Smart Playlist is:
Genre - contains - Heavy Rock
My Rating - is greater than - ***
This way Soundgarden, Corrosion of Conformity or Mannhai don't have to feel ashamed of the company they're jammin' with. (I put them all under "heavy rock" category. They are rock and they're heavy. That's accurate enough to me.)
Not to mention, that I don't have to hear any lesser-than-ingenious tracks by Black Sabbath every time I want to listen to some heavy rock. No more "FX"!
Dave adds: This is a good example of combing the use of genre tags and ratings to create great personalized playlists.
It's hard to believe but 2003 is rushing towards it's latter days. However, there are still plenty of songs that I haven't even listened to yet this year. So I created this little list that allows me to listen to songs I haven't heard since 2002....
Last Played - is before - 01/01/03
Play Count - is greater than - 0
Or if you just wanted to hear the songs that are least recently played.
Limit to - 25 - songs - selected by - least recently played
I like listening to my iPod in true random mode- playing everything in the 'songs' folder, but I don't want the iTrip frequency files or spoken word tracks played.
I've created a smart playlist called 'Everything'.
