iTunes Tuesday: iPhone Music Streaming July 28th, 2009 @ 4:37 am PDT
No matter how hard you try to keep your music library organized, compressed, and free of ABBA, eventually you’re going to have more tunes than you can fit on your iPhone (or iPod, or any other mp3 device). The most recent iPod Classic has a capacity of 120GB, which can certainly hold a lot of […]

In the previous episode of iTunes Tuesday I explained the difference between Smart Playlists and user-created playlists. Basically the key difference is that Smart Playlists are ones that iTunes creates for you based on criteria you define and user-created playlists are ones you make by picking and choosing songs. Today I’ll show you a couple […]
iTunes Tuesday: Show in Playlist July 7th, 2009 @ 4:55 am PDT
There are two types of playlists in iTunes: Smart Playlists and “regular” playlists. A Smart Playlist depends on parameters you’ve set, like “songs added in the last month”, or “songs by The Beatles or Bob Dylan”.

Sometimes you just want to be able to quickly get to the new stuff. That’s why I have a Smart Playlist called “New This Month”. This playlist contains all the tracks I’ve added in the last month, and I keep it synchronized with both my iPhone and with my iPod Nano. I always have all […]

iTunes Tuesday: Beatles and Bob May 26th, 2009 @ 7:34 am PDT
If you put a gun to my head and forced me to pick my favorite band, I’d have to go with The Beatles. (You could just ask me, though. What’s with the gun? Chill out, psycho.) I have — as far as I know — every track they ever recorded, and it’s not a stretch […]
iTunes Tuesday: Unranked Songs May 19th, 2009 @ 6:00 am PDT
One of the keys to being able to build useful smart playlists in iTunes is having your tracks ranked. (It’s so important that I made it #4 on my Five Tips for Smarter Playlists a few years ago.) I try to be vigilant when it comes to ranking my songs, but (a) I need to […]
