Smart Playlists suggestions

This was a blog entry that I ran across through Lifehacker. It shows some pretty good ideas on how to create custom smart playlists in iTunes so that you can get a good mix of stuff you really like, stuff you haven't listened to in a while, and not get over run with the same old stuff.

Be smart about your Smart Playlists:

Blogger Andy Budd has posted a tutorial detailing how he sets up his iTunes Smart Playlists in order to get the most out his music library.

I currently have 3476 songs in iTunes which works out at around 12.4 days worth of music. This may seem a lot, but considering how much time I spend on the computer, I burn through tracks with surprising ease.

One of the problems with this is keeping your music collection interesting.... The way to achieve this is by utilising smart playlists, however it can be quite difficult getting the right balance.

For the rest see Andy's blog.


Update: 9-APR-06 -- I've been using this new playlist idea for a while now and just LOVE it. I highly recommend doing something similar if you have a large music collection to help you find some of those missing favorites out there.
