Regular Backups of Music

Apple has posted a document: "iTunes: How to Use a Smart Playlist to Make Regular Backups of Your Music."

Discussion:

If you have an optical drive that can burn a CD or DVD, you can make regular backups of your music files.

To make an initial backup of all of your music files, follow the steps outlined in technical document 93033, "iTunes 4: How to Back Up Music".

Once you have backed up all of your existing music, take note of the date and time you completed the backup and then continue with the following steps.

Create a playlist of music you've added since your last backup:

1. Open iTunes.

2. From the File menu, choose New Smart Playlist.

3. Configure the Smart Playlist so that it includes all songs with a Date Added that is after the date of your last backup.

4. Click OK.

5. Name the Smart Playlist something like "Backup Playlist".

Burn a backup disc of all the files you have added since your last backup

1. Open iTunes.

2. Open iTunes Preferences.

-Mac OS X: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
-Windows: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

3. Click Burning.

4. Click Data CD or DVD

5. Click OK.

6. Select Backup Playlist in the Source list.

7. Click Burn Disc.

8. Insert a blank disc. If you have added more songs since your last backup than can fit on one disc, iTunes can burn them onto two or more discs.

9. When iTunes finishes burning the disc, eject it and write the current date on it.

Next time you do a backup

1. Open iTunes

2. Select the "Backup Playlist" in the Source list.

3. From the Edit menu, choose Edit Smart Playlist.

4. Change the date to the date you wrote on your last backup disc and repeat steps 1 through 9 above.

Last Import

This is awesome if you want to listen to stuff you just put on your mac, I limited it to 80 minutes because that's how long most cds are now.

Good tracks not played lately

I have two playlists I use a whole lot when I want to listen to music I like a lot, but haven't listened to lately:


Last played - is not in the last - 30 days
Limit to - 50 songs - selected by highest rating

and


Last played - is not in the last - 30 days
Limit to - 50 songs - selected by most often played

Adjust as needed.
