Playlist Folders: On iPods and Holding Smart Playlists

A while ago I wrote about playlist folders in iTunes. Since then, I have two things to add to that post.

Folders on iPods
If you have the most recent iPod Nano or Classic - I believe this started with the "widescreen" nano - then you can now sync playlist folders with your iPod. This means that your playlists can be grouped in a much more usable fashion on the iPod.

Use Folders to Hide Playlists
When creating a Smart Playlist, you are not given and/or options. So, to make Smarter playlists, some people will create multiple Smart Playlists, then combine them together with one Smart Playlist using the "Playlist > is/is not > [A Smart Playlist]".



Using folders you can stick all of your supporting Smart Playlists into one folder to keep them out of the way while still retaining access to them.
