How to find songs you missed |
 |
|
A feature that iTunes is sorely lacking (in my opinion) is one which lets you see what songs you've already put into a playlist somewhere. (or perhaps more importantly, which ones you haven't)
I'll be listening to my iPod and wonder why I never hear "The World is Mine" until I get home and search all my playlists and realize that I overlooked it when creating them.
But searching through 40 playlists to see which one it's on (or isn't on) is tedious.
My suggestion, if you have this problem, is to make a new smart playlist to see which songs got left behind.
I named mine "Clearing the baffles" (I know, I'm a geek)
The set up is this:
Must follow ALL rules
~Playlist is not "House Mix"
~Playlist is not "Supercheesy 90s"
~(repeat until you've covered all the playlists you load onto your iPod)
~Playlist is not "DO NOT LOAD"
~Rating is not one star
~Limit to 100 songs by most played
~Live updating
This shows me every song, starting with the ones I've listened to most, that are not going to be loaded onto my iPod. I can check 'em out and see if they belong on one of my source playlists (which a smart playlists draws from when live updating). If I know I don't want them loaded onto the ipod, I put 'em into the "DO NOT LOAD" playlist. Or if I know I don't really like 'em, I rate 'em one star.
It still takes time to go through everything, but when I realized how many good songs weren't in circulation, it was worth it.
