Can I create a smart playlist based on # of tracks?

One hit wonders!
I have a lot of single tracks by artists and would like to create a playlist of these. There doesn't seem to be a sort option based on the # of tracks, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
Basically, i want to identify all the artists with only 1, 2 or "x" # of tracks in my library, then build my best one-hit wonder playlist.
I thank you! Along with Kajagoogoo, Toni Basil and Flock of Seagulls.

SERIOUSLY!!!  I was pretty shocked when I realized iTunes DJ isn't on my iPhone.  It seems like it should be, seeing as 1) it's one of the main perks/rewards of going through the hassle of rating all your songs, and 2) for many people (including myself) most music listening time is spent on their iDevices (listening in the car, at work, etc.).  So the fact that it's not there to be utilized is pretty weird and slightly upsetting.  Also the DJ mix should sync between iDevice and computer so you can continue listening to the same list going to and from home.

  • How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums?

    Hi,
    How can I create a smart playlist of least played complete albums? (of a specific genre, say jazz)
    What I would like to do is to have a playlist that will always automatically pull the least played albums of a specific genre (ideally, but not necessarily, with a random album play within that playlist) Hope you are getting the concept!
    Thank you for any idea!
    Daniel
    p.s. there have been solutions for earlier versions of iTunes, none working with iTunes 10 apparently

    As you say, you can't access the Gapless property in a smart playlist rule.
    The obvious way that comes to mind would be to create another playlist with stuff to exclude from your final list and put the gapless tracks and anything else that won't filter out easily into it.
    Yes you say but I have oodles of gapless tracks and I don't want to gather them up by hand.
    OK, so you'll need a script. Here is one I've just created for the purpose: GaplessToPlaylist

  • Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to...

    Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to play one after the other on your iPod? I want to combine podcasts of the same topic in a smart playlist. When I tried to do this I chose smart playlist, album starts with, and then did it again for each podcast I wanted. That didn't work. If it can be done how do you do it?
    I have a fifth generation iPod which is always updated to the latest as well as the itunes.

    Say for example I want to put different car related podcasts in one smart playlist. Car related podcasts such as Wall Street Journal Car Cast and NPR Car Talk. Can it be done and if so how?

  • Can't create a smart playlist of podcasts in iOS 7?

    I've got to iPhone 4Ss, one on iOS 6, the other on iOS 7. On the iOS6 device, I have created a Smart Playlist that contains my podcast subscriptions for the last two weeks. This playlist is the major use of my iPhone. However, on the iOS 7 device, The Recent Podcast playlist is there in the Music app, but it is empty. Is iOS 7 forcing me to listen to podcasts only through the useless Podcasts app?

  • Can I create a smart playlist on my iPhone without using iTunes first?

    I often find myself on my iPhone, away from my computer, wanting to further refine the currently playing smarlist, say only play tracks with three stars or more. It would be nice to have this, or just iTunes DJ (iPhone DJ?) on my iPhone, with an option to play higher rated songs more often.

  • Smart playlist based on play counts within specific time period?

    I have tooled all around with the smart playlist options, and this is not a possibility, based on the options iTunes gives you. So I'd like to know if there is a posibility that a script can be written for something like this.
    What I want is to be able to create a smart playlist that generates a list of songs that I played a lot during a certain time. For example, if I want to listen to a collection of songs that I had been listening to a lot back in October, I would want an option to do something like this.....
    Plays (from [10/01/13] to [10/31/13]) is: (greater than) [12]
    Meaning I played it more than 12 times in October alone. Could've played it before that, could've played it after that, but I only want the 13+ October plays to be considered.
    Using the options "plays" and "last played" isn't going to work, because that's just gonna eliminate any song that I played again after that time period.
    So can a script be written for something like what I'm looking for?
    I don't know if it's a posibility because that would mean that iTunes would have to log every single play on a song, and I don't think it does that. I think it erases its memory of the previous play date each time the song is played again.

    The last iPod update I had is at least 3 month ago (iPod click wheel, system version 3.1). I am pretty sure that the live update at least those based on play count still did work after that. After updating to iTunes 5 it definitely was gone. I don't know if it is iTunes 5, but this is when I realized it and I did not install anything else for my iPod the last couple of months.
    I am pretty sure that it worked before, because I used to listen to audio books that consist of 5 minutes track. The live update helped to avoid listening to the same track twice. I would have recognized the missing live update earlier otherwise.

  • Can you increase the smart playlist directly on an ipod

    Can you increase the song number above 25 on an iPod touch when you create a smart playlist directly on the ipod

    Have you followed the notes I gave you two days ago? Although your question then did not refer to changing the Playlist directly "on the iPod", I did let you know what you have to do.
    I suggest that if you are still having issues, you stick to one thread, preferably the other one since it has the necessary instructions, and let us know what your problem is.

  • Can I create a saturation mask based to a gradient map?

    Hi
    can i create a saturation mask based on a gradient map?
    for the example a gradient blue from 2441f6 to 6075f6
    and have a luminocity mask based of this gradient
    can i do it?
    how can i do it?
    thanks
    cheers

    The gradient maps are not use to sample color, but to recolor, so you cannot use it to create the selection, use the selection to limit the gradient map to the blue areas of the sky.
    You could MASK a gradient map using the saturation of the sky, to recolor based on the actual saturation of the sky.
    Select the sky with your favorite method, jump it to a new layer (CTRL+J)
    Use the technique in the linked tutorial to extract the luminosity, it should land on its own layer.
    Hide that layer, and delete the selective color one.
    Now add your gradient map adj layer, enter the two colors as desired.
    Show the layer with the saturation converted to a layer. Select all, copy.
    ALT+click the layer mask of your gradient map adj layer, and paste. You might need to paint in black the areas you do not want affected.
    I tried it here, and had semi satisfactory results given the very heavy compression of your file, and also because the colors are pretty unrealistic.
    Here is the image showing the saturation mask, and the results on the side:

  • Creating New Smart Playlist by Album name - Missing From Drop Down List

    I hope i'm not the only person with this issue but since upgrading to Windows Vista i have noticed a very annoying little bug with iTunes.
    When trying to create a Smart Playlist there is no longer the option from the dropdown list to create a smartplaylist using the perameter 'Album'.
    Any lists created when my PC was using XP still have the correct parameters in place but you cannot create any ne ones.
    I have tried creating a new library without success. If i revert back to XP there is no problem.
    Are Apple aware of this issue? If not, how do i contact them to report this bug?

  • How do I create a smart playlist on the iPhone?

    I want to create a smart playlist on my iPhone without needing to resort to iTunes or syncing. Is this possible?

    No. The music app on the phone does not support creating smart playlists.

  • How do I create a smart playlist of songs that are not in any playlist?

    I have zillions of songs and many playlists to manage them. So how do I create a smart playlist that shows songs that are not in any playlist?
    An easier answer would be " Playlist > is > None" but this option is not available.
    Any other creative solutions?
    (...and a long list of "Playist > is not > Playlist AA" through "Playist > is not > Playlist ZQ" is not a manageable answer as my playlists are too dynamic for that. Such a playlist would always be broken.)

    Maybe one of these will help:
    This AppleScript will create a text file that will list the iTunes Library tracks which have not been assigned to any playlist.  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylist
    This script searches your iTunes or iPod Library for tracks which have not been included in any Playlists and copies them to a new discrete Playlist.  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylistplaylist

  • Use applescript to create itunes smart playlists

    hi
    is the subject possible?
    my setup uses an intricate system of smart playlists building other smart playlists. when i add a new "theme", as i call it, like "party", "chart", "sad", "happy", etc, i dont want to have to go back through and create dozens of smart playlists each time... that is a job for my friend, applescript!
    regards
    jingo_man

    I am also interested in an answer on this. I'm not an AppleScript guru but I'm learning. My goal is to create a Smart Playlist with two criteria -- one is that the tracks exist in a specific other Smart Playlist and the other is that the track's play count is less than the average play count of all tracks in the other playlist.
    I have already managed to use AppleScript to find the average play count of all tracks in a selected Smart Playlist, I just don't yet know how to use that to automatically generate a second Smart Playlist.

  • Siri can't create a genius playlist?

    I have an iPhone 5S on Verizon with iOS 7.0.4.
    Whenever I ask Siri to create a genius playlist based on the current song, it doesn't work. I'll ask Siri to "Play more songs like this" or "genius" and Siri will say that it is playing more songs like the current song, but it never creates the genius list. If I manually create the playlist via the Music app, I don't have a problem. Anyone else have this problem too? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Chaiya

    I've had the same problem since having my 4S on AT&T and now on my 5. Siri responds with "playing similar songs" but the previous playlist or shuffle keeps going. This used to work but I'm not sure which iOS update broke it.
