Is there a way in itunes to create a favorite artists list? Not all the songs, but it'd be pretty cool to look at a quick list of some of my favorite artists to remind me, b/c I tend to listen to my newer music and forget about all the other stuff I like. I do ratings and playlists, but it's just filled with tons of songs.
Yeah, that's cool. But what I'm trying to do is flag some of the artists as my favorites; almost make a playlist that is just filled with the artist names only, in a sense, like a quick list of artists that I play most or like the most or something.
Sorry, but that's not a feature of iTunes. You can drag an artist from the Browser into a playlist, but that will of course get you all that artist's tracks, not just the artist's name. If you want to keep a list of just your favorite artists, you'll have to do that external to iTunes.
You just have to get creative with the Smart playlists. The modifiers in there can help you really get specific (play count etc.). Put some thought into it. You'll figure it out.
Smart Playlists will not help Chuck get a list only of the artists. A Smart Playlist will show tracks, which is not what Chuck wants; he wants a list only of the artist names. As I said, there's no way within iTunes to do that; he'd have to keep a list externally.
Exactly. Well, it's ok, I just thought that'd be something cool that I would personally use. I guess it's not really possible right now. I can make a list outside of itunes or do all something else. Thanks.
What about adding a playlist folder in iTunes called Favorites and then create a smart playlist for each favorite artist inside the playlist folder? The folder not contains a list of your favorite artists as individual playlists.
