Smart playlists: condition album randomly?

Similar Questions

• Is there a way to create a smart playlist without several songs from the same album?

  I would like to create a smart playlist without several songs of his same albums.  Is this possible?

  Timo,

  Unfortunately not.

  Smart playlist logic analyzes each song individually and includes those who correspond to rules.  There is no way to write a rule that depends on other songs in the same album.

• Music app hangs when downloading the smart playlists

  Just turned on iTunes game and have my 35 000 songs in the cloud. When I click on the new button to cloud/download in 9.2 on my 6 s + or iPad crashes music application. I can load the songs and albums and playlists regularly, but not smart playlists.

  They affect something?

  I stumbled upon this question.

  That fixed it for me was disable the "Limit for XX Gb selected by random" check box in the edit smart playlist menu.

  I hope this helps.

• Playing songs not controlled in the smart playlists

  I have a lot of smart playlists to my favorite bands, all these work fine. Most of the bands have a greatest hits album and I Don t want these appear in the smart playlists, so I uncheck them.

  Now I ve created a list of smart playlist to play only more great songs from hits of a certain kind and although the playlist fills correctly I can´t play because all the songs are unchecked.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  TIA

  Although the playlist fills correctly I can´t play because all the songs are unchecked.

  Tmoore,

  If a song is disabled in the library, it will be disabled in any playlist it is in.

  Instead of smart playlists, use regular playlists.  If there is an album ("Greatest Hits") that you want to include, just omit it.  Then, you can let all your songs checked.

• Is there a way to set the smart playlists colors?

  iTunes now seems to give some background colors randomly for the smart playlists. Generally, they are much too dark and it is difficult to read the text. Is there a way to change that so they are a defined color or at least a clear background.

  As you watch this playlist, you can use the iTunes menu to change a setting for:

  View > view as > songs

• Smart playlists - artists

  I'm trying to create a smart playlist for an artist on my iTunes library, is it possible to add songs from the artist.

  Example:

  Artist > Contains > "Kehlani" [fact already]

  The song title > Contains > 'Kehlani' [add songs that have Kehlani in the title, it will return - "title song (feat.] Kehlani).

  Yes. A smart playlist can have more than one rule. In your case, make sure that the condition is EVERYTHING, not ALL of them, and the resulting playlist will include all of the songs that the meat be condition.

  

• The smart playlists in Playlist folder sorting

  My question is how to sort the songs in a playlist, it's how can I sort playlists in a playlist folder?

  If I have a playlist folder named "Genres" with three smart playlists named "Hip Hop / Rap", "Rhythm and Blues" and "Rock."

  the folder will automatically be sorted alphabetically in the form:

  Genres

  Hip Hop / Rap

  Rhythm-and-Blues

  Rock

  What I want to do is sort the folder manually if I put any folder in all positions as:

  Genres

  Rhythm-and-Blues

  Rock

  Hip Hop / Rap

  How can I do this?

  You can not. I sometimes used an index number of foreground. If you have iTunes game or Apple music the order may change randomly after you update a list, but will return to alphabetical if you close iTunes and then reopen.

• Smart playlist files: overlap of the songs.

  It is not a problem in itself, but it's a technical quirk that I can't find any information for, on these forums or elsewhere.

  If I have 2 smart playlists, one for 'Top 50 most played' and one for 'Top 50 highest appreciation', there may be some songs that are in both lists. I want to know if I put both of these smart plsylists in a smart folder, and then play the file, the songs that are in two playlists play more often, or they all have an equal chance?

  i.e. If there are 25 most played songs, 25 songs that are the most appreciated and 25 others who are at the same time, each individual song have 1/100 chance of play, or 1/75 chance? (as there are 2 lists of 50 but only 75 songs).

  A playlist folder will have exactly one entry for each song that is in a confined playlists, no matter how many playlists, it is in, or if it is repeated in any of the regular lists. The number of copies in the playlists of the child cannot affect the random algorithm. If there are 75 songs in the playlist each folder a chance of 1/75 to be selected. (Ignoring the fact that iTunes can actually use a weighted algorithm to play higher rated the title more often.)

• smart playlist, including music to iCloud

  My iTunes is configured to hide the music in ICloud.  I tried to set up a smart playlist today, including the titles of classical music at random.  It included 4 tracks with the symbol of the cloud by it.  I then put one of the parameters of location is not in ICloud and he always has them.  I checked in my music and titles are not there.  Help!

  Thank you

  Deborah

  I just implemented a very simple smart playlist.

  Media type is music

  Location on this computer

  It showed all the songs that are stored locally.  I don't see those who are only in iCloud.  When I chose a song and made a Delete download on this song, it has disappeared from the list.  It seems to work, at least most of the time.

  In your smart playlist...  Choose one of these 4 songs that are on your list with the symbol of the cloud in the column download iCloud .  Click on the cloud to download.  Right-click on the song and select Delete download (like me).  This song remains on the list (with the symbol of the cloud back), or doesn't it disappears from the list?

• the smart playlist content

  I have a smart playlist that indicates that it contains 850 songs.  The content is another reading list that indicates that it contains songs of 2200.  Why are they not the same?  I designated the content as the other playlist and requested do not repeat that whatever it is played during the last 21 days.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you.

  Tamar,

  If the second selection rules, something like "Playlist" "is" "Playlist 1" and "Last played" "is not in the last" "21" "days", while the second should be shorter. "

  That explain it?  If this isn't the case, please post the rules you use.

• How to exclude the songs, didn't like in a smart playlist

  How exclude the songs didn't like in a smart playlist.

  Note the songs that you don't like as 1 Star then add side is not 1 star smart selection criteria.

• Smart playlist without taking into account the time of power

  For many of my songs, I put options in iTunes to start at some point (start for example, eliminated song a movie after the composers finished introduce), or stop at some point (for example, end "A Day in the Life" until the inner Groove goes off).  However, when I listen to them on my iPhone, via the list of each song, I said I love you, they begin to run and play all the way to the end.  Only when I listen to the song in a different playlist, or ask Siri Shuffle it for me, these options work as it should.  Does anyone else have this problem?  My solution would not work when I want to take the first song myself at the time.

  I also have this problem and it's really annoying! I'm on an iPhone iOS running 7 10.

  It occurs in every playlist I have regardless of whether it was a smart playlist or the normal playlist I made.

  Another thing that my phone has done is when the playlist rolls that some songs will be start of subject to halfway through the song. I don't know if it's because he plays from the point at which I jumped the song the day before. I manually checked every song in my iTunes library to make sure that the box saying "remember playback position" only is unchecked (took me a while). Each box is unchecked. Ugh. I hope it's a little bug iPhone will fix as soon as possible.

• do not copy songs in the smart playlist for 10 iOS device

  I have upgraded to 12.5.1.21 on my Mac Mini Tuesday and set iTunes to update my iPhone 6 and Air iPad for iOS 10.  I also have an iPod Touch 5 which is glued to the ISM 9, which turns out to be a blessing.  In iTunes I have a large number of smart playlists, which many turning content at least recently played or update filters to filter the songs that were played in the last week, for example.  So when I play songs in the list, then update the list in iTunes, the songs played are removed, and new songs come in.  Everything works well.

  Until I update my iOS 10 devices.  When I update the playlist in iTunes on Mac, it shows the new content.  When I update my iDevice, it shows the set songs to date on the device, using the view from iTunes on Mac.  When I disconnect the device and check the reading list, there is no songs.  All the songs in the playlist have disappeared.  The songs are really there, but the device iTunes lost them or they were never really copied.

  It does not have other types of playlists. It seems to only affect smart playlists with date restrictions. My iPod Touch always behaves very well with the same smart playlists.  So maybe not a problem with iTunes on Mac, but iTunes iOS 10.

  I also found that the smart playlists which depend on other playlists (i.e. they understand a rule "Playlist is... ") are similarly broken and empty in the iOS 10 (but they agree in iTunes on a Mac (for now)).  This is true if the original selection is also a smart playlist, or just a regular manual selection.

  However, I followed the tips in this article, and that fixed it for me: http://www.techradar.com/how-to/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ios-10-pr oblems-here-s-how-to-fix-the-most-common...

  In short, everything Unsync broken playlists (i.e. remove them your phone) and then add them in.  It took a bit big for me to understand how juggling UNSYNC all my playlists without him also remove the associated music (mainly because I did not want to wait that it will copy my entire library over), but after I made, my playlists all started working for me again.

  Maybe he'll help with date rules as well?

• illustrations of 12.5 iTunes no sync for iPhone & smart playlist in disorder

  Hello

  I've updated to iTunes 12.5 and I have two problems, the work which has come mainly from apples when Sync you to my iPhone ios10.01 it synchronizes approximately 10% of the covers...

  the second thing is on the smart playlists, I can't find a way get the list of reading to stay in the newer supplementary order. You add a new song, and he ends by below, rather than above

  I have the same problem on the cover art not sync... I got it in the last 3 betas, I would say. Expected to get fixed for GM, but it didn't. I tried to reset my iTunes (copy my media on the desktop and delete the "iTunes Media" folder, and then add it again any music) with no luck... I pointed out twice in the application of your comments also. I hope that someone will find that a fix/Apple will fix it soon...

• How do I rate songs in the smart playlist in 12.4.3?

  The "evolution" If iTunes makes me crazy. I have a smart playlist, songs that I have evaluated. I want to play songs in the list and rates but can't find the rating column and don't see side option, when I right-click.

  The only way I found to do this is to open the Info on the song and he do. It is a ROYAL pain.

  Check more carefully, the ranking column is always available.
