Filter out unwanted music in iTunes

By Donald Bell on 04 November 2008

Now, let's make a second playlist, this time a Smart playlist I'm calling "Donald's iPod," where the Playlist values exclude our "Don't list," as well as podcasts, and any music genres we know we don't like. You can add as many filters as you want by clicking the "+" symbol on the right side of each field.

If your iPod or iPhone can't hold much music, use the "Limit to" function underneath the filter list to generate a finite list of preferred songs that randomise each time you launch iTunes.

    The best way to seperate two users within iTunes without setting up another account is to actually create a seperate library - which is very very easy..

    When opening iTunes on a mac option click the icon on your dock (not sure if this works in windoze) click "create library" when the dialogue box appears, and then name the libray such as "Example Name's Library".

    Now you have a library that is like new, and totally seperate to the existing library. Both can appear on networks, the iPhone/iPod touch "remote" can control both libraries and you can have two seperate iTunes store accounts.

    File > add to library and you can import all of your music/videos etc.

    Then carry on, not having to worry about the other users crap you dont want.

    Note: When starting iTunes you must option click the icon, so that when the dialogue box next appears you can choose which library you would like to open.

    Joey Jojo, so, in short you missed the day at school where they taught you how to use an apostrophe properly.
