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.

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 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 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?

  • I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

    First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.

  • 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?

  • Cannot create Smart Playlist for tracks to upgrade using iTunes Match

    I just subscribed to iTunes Match and am trying to use a Smart Playlist to identify the tracks that can be upgraded following the instructions in this article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1163620/how_to_upgrade_tracks_to_itunes_match_fa st.html
    When I try to create the smart playlist, I get "This smart playlist contains one or more conditions which are empty or conflict with each other. This will result in never matching a song. Are you sure you want to save this playlist?".  I've narrowed it down to the iCloud Status settings.  I can create a playlist with either Matched or Purchased; however, I get the message above when specifying both.  Any ideas?

    You need to make sure the rule for these 2 is Match Any, not Match all.

  • Why can't I delete a playlist from my iPhone without it being deleted on my kids iMac?

    I consolidated music on my Macbook pro with my family iMac using iTunes Match. What I can't understand is that I can't "turn off" certain playlists. When I deleted some of my daughters' playlists from my iPhone, it removed the playlist from the iMac. Am I missing something? I had over 100 playlists  listed, many of which I will never use. I can't imagine that Match isn't more versitile.

    Now that you mention it, my parents don't need to see my playlists, either.  Hadn't thought of that.
    I accidently stumbled on an "ad-hoc" workaround that helped me.   The downside is that it only works with smart playlists so it may or may not work for you.  But here it is anyway:
    Smart playlists will not be uploaded to the cloud if they refeence another playlist on the cloud.  So I created a "catch-all" smart playlist and added a reference to that in all the smart playlists I don't want to share. 
    I also noticed that playlists with more than just music are not uploaded.  You could add a short video or something to the playlists that are only for the iMac.  This obviously won't work if your daughter needs them on her iDevice. 
    I know these aren't good solutions, but I hope they help someone. 
    Cheers,

  • Can I create a dynamic report in the server without using a report template

    Hi,
    My company just bought a Crystal Report Server XI and it didn't have a report designer.
    I can't start creating report without the designer.
    The question is can  I generate a dynamic report at runtime (on the crystal report server ) without using report template?
    My project requirement is to use a crystal report server to manage the reports.
    Some client web application will just access this report server.
    I  hope the experts can provide me some guidance.
    regards,
    Rulix

    Hi Rulix,
    The latest version of CR Server is 2008. Therefore I'm assuming you are using CR Server 2008.
    New in CR 2008 is the .NET report modification software development kit (SDK). The report application server (RAS) SDK is now available for users of Crystal Reports .NET API without the use of a RAS server. Report modification such as changing, adding, or removing database providers, or adding, removing, or creating report objects, parameters, formulas, and sections can be achieved by accessing the RAS SDK through the Crystal Reports .NET SDK.
    Java developers however receive the JRC and Java SDK documentation through the free Crystal Reports for Eclipse download. This product will be updated on a separate schedule from Crystal Reports.
    Further Information and samples are available in our [Developer Library|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects?rid=/webcontent/uuid/5001d5de-f867-2b10-00bf-8d27683c85a0]
    Kind regards,

  • How do you play music from a playlist on an iPhone without using WiFi and iCloud?

    I travel in a RV and frequently park in campgrounds that do not have WiFi. I've been told I can copy iTunes playlists (selected from my copied CDs on my Mac) onto my iPhone 5S. I can then, using a mini stereo jack go from the output on the iPhone to the aux input on my DVD player and thereby play my playlists of copied CD music on my RV sound system. All well and good except I tried my Music app on my iPhone and could not find a play function. I found the iTunes Radio but that only seemed to work with a WiFi connection. What am I missing?
    As you can tell, I am not experienced with the iPhone although I've used a Mac for years. Is there a basic tutorial on how to accomplish my stated task or at least use the basic music function? I've tried to find something on the Apple website but haven't been able to find anything yet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Chris -
    Those 2 playlists were a total of 498 songs. I have just been using the default rate when I load a CD and click on import into iTunes. Is there a better way? My second 2 playlists have about 330 songs plus about another 20 I'm going to load today and then stop and see about syncing them on my iPhone as well. I've gotten about half of my CDs imported. This is obviously a do-as-you-get-time task that will take quite a while. Not so much importing the CD, but listening to at least a couple bars of each song to see which I want to put on a playlist.

  • 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.
