…what’s your function?

by Rob Friesel

A friend of mine mentioned recently he’s considering an iPod mini but asked: “How do you pick what to put on there?” The obvious point being: Clearly, you have more than 4 GB of music…. So I decided to share with him how I keep my tunes fresh:

Sync the following playlists:

  • This Is Rabbit’s Revenge – match all: My Rating is greater than 3 stars; Play Count is less than 20; Limit to 1 GB selected by most recently added
  • This Is Also Rabbit’s Revenge – match all: My Rating is greater than 3 stars; Date Added is not in the last 90 days; Last Played is not in the last 30 days; Limit to 1 GB selected by least often played
  • This Too Is Rabbit’s Revenge – match all: My Rating is greater than 3 stars; Play Count is greater than 10; Playlist is not “This Is Rabbit’s Revenge”; Playlist is not “This Is Also Rabbit’s Revenge”; Limit to 1 GB selected by least recently played
  • and special bonus round Top 100 – match all: My Rating is greater than 3 stars; Limit to 100 songs selected by most often played

So, gentle reader: Your method?
