3 Playlist Ideas To Enchance Your Itunes Experience

itunesOne of the reasons why I have stuck to the Ipod in the wake of cheaper music players is that the Itunes software is simply a joy to use.

Managing playlists are a pain, and Itunes Smart Playlists allows me to tell Itunes “This is how I want to listen to my music” once, and from then on let the software handle what songs to put in my Ipod everytime I sync the device.

Here are 3 quick smart playlist ideas, which I currently use, and you can try to use to enhance your musical experience.

Playlist Idea #1: Songs you like but don’t often listen to
All Songs Rated 4-5 Stars, sorted by least recently played.

Playlist Idea #2: Songs you have not heard before
Songs never listened to, sorted by least recently added to your Itunes library.

Playlist Idea #3: Songs that should be in your favourites list but are not
All songs not rated, sorted by most frequently played.

Playlist 2

Every time you sync your Ipod, the songs on these lists update itself based on your listening habits. Experiment further by adding multiple rules within a single smart playlist (eg. Filter down favourites to only rock songs), and even combining multiple smart playlists (eg. Favourite R&B Songs + least frequently played pop songs).

What are your favourite smart playlist ideas?

      I have a playlist I call “Forgotten Tracks”: Played at least once, but not played/skipped in the last 2 weeks, selected by random. A cool side effect is that the playlist is neverending, since as the top tracks are played, they’re removed and new ones are added. I’ve re-discovered a lot of music like this.
