I will have to try...

I will have to try...

I will have to try this out. I know I haven’t used smart mailboxes to the best of my abilities and this gives me several ideas to try.

I cannot wait to watch your show on smart playlists. Right now, I have a mega smart playlist called “iPod Playlist”, which is simply 6GB of music that is rated 3 stars or higher, that I have not played in the past 3 weeks. It is the ultimate shuffle playlist (there is no junk in there since I rate my music honestly), but it would be cool to get some ideas for more specifically targeted playlists.
