Hey guys,
This may have been requested before, but years back when I used to use ephpod to sync my ipod, they had a great feature whereby you could click on a track and select "create playlist from album" and it would automatically create a playlist in the form of "artist - album" with all the tracks in order.
I manage a rather large collection on my ipod (classic 160) and constantly add and remove items. When you have 1000s of albums (and a bad memory lol) it becomes hard to remember what new music was added so I usually make playlists for newly added albums and delete the playlists over time as when I either listen to them or get bored of them etc.
At the moment, the easiest way I've found to accomplish the above in MM is by right clicking a track, going into properties, and copying the relevant info from the file path (as my folders are named by "artist - album - year"), creating a new playlist and pasting the copied text to name the playlist.
The "recently added" playlist is helpful to keep track of what has been added but it doesn't differentiate between albums meaning it's just a big mess of tracks when accessed through the ipod... so I usually just make playlists of new music then delete the recently added playlist.
Anyway, it's a simple feature that I always found really helpful and missed in MM. My process above is a bit faster than manually tying in the artist/album name, but it could be simple as a single click
Just my 2 cents, thanks for all the great work... MM rules.
