First iPod Complaint
Now so far (it’s been but a week) but I must say I dig my iPod alot. though I’m not 100% excited with the “random” option. I’ve read and heard about whether or not the songs are truly being selected at random and honestly I believe that they are. What bothers me is that in a 30 min walk to work I may hear 6-7 tracks and many times I’ll hear one artist two sometimes three times! The software does not look at the artist and or album just the song and if I have 5 or 6 albums by one artist on my device I have a higher chance at hearing songs by that artist more often. I was introduced to the smartplaylist in iTunes the other day and was hoping to come up with one that would solve this issue but have not seemed to figure that out yet. if anyone has developed a smartplaylist that does something like “don’t play a song by artist if artist was recently played” etc please let me know. In the quest to solve this issue I did find Smart playlists.com It’s a cool little resource where poeple post diffent types of smart playlists that they have come up with. For example Some one created a list that only played songs with baody parts in the song title. There are much more simplified ones and of course more detailed lists, Kinda cool though.
