I didn't know this about iTunes...
« on: May 08, 2007, 09:09:10 PM »
I'm not sure if others already know this about iTunes--I didn't until tonight. As my iTunes library grows, I've accumulated several versions of many songs that I like--studio version, multiple live versions, "covers"--each a bit different, etc. Often, when I find a different version (usually a different live version or a cover) of a song, I want to replace an older version of the same song that I may have buried in more than one playlist.  I can't always remember which playlists I've put them in. (I have many "compilation" playlists.)

Until tonight, I didn't know that if you highlight a song in your iTunes library and "control-click" on it, among the many options you'll get is to "show in playlist." Select that option and you'll see which playlists you've placed that particular version in. Makes replacing a song very easy.

A couple of IMacs, an iPad, a bunch of iPhones...two of which don’t live here, but I still pay for. Oh yeah, wife, daughters, and yes—a grandson!

Just what we all needed: a way to find where those songs are. Now if I could just remember where I put my iPod...

Oh yeah, I don't have an iPod. wink.gif
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.
