Nov 12, 2005 - I want a “remove duplicate entries” option for playlists. I quite often drag good tunes to various playlists, but I’m never sure if I already have the song there.
- I want the option to have iTunes play the currently selected track after the current one is finished, like Foobar does.
- Retarded tag writing. It writes its gain info as a comment, for crying out loud! Why can’t iTunes make its own ID3 field called iTunesGain or something and store the data there?
- And on the topic of audio gain, use a commonly accepted standard instead to be compatible with lots of other players.
- Reshuffling the party list (with 25 songs) takes forever when the music is on an SMB mount. Why?
- Stop using 100MB of memory!
Nov 3, 2005 I have no idea who Harvey Danger are, but they’re releasing their third album as a free MP3/OGG download. I don’t know if I’ll like it, but I’m going to download it.
Dec 4, 2003 Following up to an entry on NSLog, here’s a list of my smart playlists in iTunes.
- “Getting moldy” — My rating is in the range of 3 to 5 stars; last played is not in the last month; limit to 10 songs selected by random.
- “Recently played” — Last played is in the last month; limit to 100 songs selected by most recently played.
- “Top 25″ — Limit to 25 songs selected by most played; match only checked songs.
- “Top rated” — My rating is greater than 4 stars; play count is greater than zero.
- “Unrated” — My rating is zero stars; limited to 10 songs selected by random; match only checked songs.
Smart playlists in iTunes rocks my world. Before them (known as “the dark ages”), I tended to either listen to a random playlist with all my songs (though I still do that 70% of the time in iTunes) or listen to a subset of my favorite songs.
The ability to make a playlist of songs I haven’t played in a long while alone makes smart playlists worthwhile.
I currently have 2222 songs in iTunes (how’s that for symmetry?), and rating them all takes time. So I listen quite a lot to the Unrated list now and make a quick rating of the song. The ratings are always in a state of flux and may change on subsequent plays. Of course, smart playlists update themselves dynamically, so as soon as I rate a song on the Unrated list, it disappears and another unrated song is added.
