Pensieri di un lunatico minore

A minor nit with iTunes

Generally, I consider iTunes to be a pretty well designed program. Discoverable and easy-to-use, and all that mumbo-jumbo. There is one major glaring error in my mind. When you are setting up your syncing on your iPod for things such as podcasts, TV shows, etc., you can’t tell it that you want the n oldest shows, only the n newest shows, which is counterproductive when you are trying to catch up with something.

Not a major issue, but it is certainly quite annoying. This means that if you’re not careful, you could end up missing older stuff. How about a minor fix in 7.3.3 Apple?

What I tend to do is have a smart playlist of “podcasts with a play count of 0” then sort that by ‘date added’.

This gives me a playlist that gives me an ordered “radio station” of unheard content.
