Okay, well, I had to work way too hard to try and help a guy on 43 Folders. Anyway, here's what he was complaining about: tucking away songs that you don't want because they are tied to a particular event. Xmas, for example. Real simple. It helps if you have everything tied with a genre like "Xmas" or "Holiday" or something. Select all the songs you wish to tuck away somewhere else. Then right click and "Get Info" on all of them. Change the album to "Xmas Tunes" or whatever you want to call it, and make sure you check that this IS a compilation. Now…go to your compilations folder, grab that Xmas Tunes folder and move it wherever you want it. Then just go back into iTunes and delete the songs from your library. When it becomes time to celebrate our favorite "reformed" pagan holiday, just throw the songs back into your library. Done. Now, if you don't have everything fixed with a genre, then just use my previous tip about using stars to mark things needing action, and if you come across "Jingle Bells" when you shouldn't, mark it with the right amount of stars and then deal with it when you get home. As to the comments on 43 Folders: I had to register, fill in my personal info, do a captcha, then wait for my password to show up. Then I put the password in and was told that I was denied access to the comment form after all that. No error messages. No whoops, you did something wrong. Just nada. If I ever put in place a scheme so user-unfriendly as that bullshit, please promise me one of you will call me on it, okay? Taggification: ipod, itunes, music, xmas Filed under: Free Ideas
