Feature request: albums in playlists

This is the one aspect to the iPod that drives me insane. I have about 7,000 songs in my library. I add to it all the time. I have a number of smart playlists, such as "Added in Last Day" and "Added in Last Week." This enables me to quickly check out the new stuff I have added.
In iTunes this works like a charm, but in the iPod it's "less than excellent". Why? Because when you go to Playlists and choose one, the playlist doesn't subdivide by album. So, let's say I add five new CDs at once. The next day at work, when I go to my "Added in Last Day" playlist, I get nothing but a linear list of five CD's worth of music.
Apple, please... in the options window for Smart Playlists, please add a checkbox to subdivide the playlist by album. You're killin' me here.

FEATURE REQUEST: Allow Smart Playlists to sort by Release Date

I listen to my iPod in my car and have a one of those kits where you can control your iPod through your stock stereo (i.e. select playlists by pressing buttons 1-6, and changing tracks with the next track/ last track buttons). One of my playlists is a smart playlist that looks for all downloaded audio podcasts that have not yet been played. As of right now, I have to go into the playlist after every update and reorder the podcasts manually in order from earliest release to newest release. The only date-sorting column right now is "date added". This doesn't work because if I update and download two or three episodes from one podcast, they all have the same date in that field, even if they were released on different days.
Please iTunes, allow a column heading that sorts podcasts by Release Date. This would make my life a lot easier and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know when I'm looking at all my podcasts from the Podcast-Manager portion of iTunes that I can see the Release Date column, however it is not an available column outside of that view.
Anybody else wanna see this feature?

I was looking for the exact funtion too. Please don't make our life any harder

Has anyone been able to use the download all feature in albums and playlists in iTunes Match using iOS 8?

SInce updating to iOS 8 I can no longer use the download all feature in iTunes Match. Only 25 tracks download and then the downloading stops and I have to click on each individual track to download the rest. Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone suggest a solution?

FEATURE REQUEST: Sticky editing of feed info

I love iTunes 6 on Windows as pod-catching software. It's great. But a minor feature request.... (since I don't see anywhere else on Apple.Com for iTunes feature requests, I'm posting it here).
Most podcast authors seem to do a lousy job of creating intuitive feed metadata information (Artist, Description). And since podcasts seem to be sorted by default on my iPod by Music > Podcasts > [ARTIST FIELD], I always edit the Artist Field in iTunes before I sync with my iPod. I do this by selecting all items in a feed group, right clicking, choosing Get Info, and editing the Artist field to something short which makes sense to me.
However, this edit isn't sticky. When new items in a feed are downloaded to iTunes, they have the original Artist field. So I have to edit this a lot.
What I'd like is to be able to edit the Info of the feed once in iTunes. Then, every time a new item is downloaded to that feed in iTunes, I'd like iTunes to go ahead and edit that item's info to match my sticky feed setting. This way, I only need to edit the info once when I add a new feed, and each item subsequently downloaded will inherit those settings.
Make sense? A "power user" feauture, I'm sure. But it'd be nice....

Can't be done currently. Interesting idea, though.
However, I've found that podcast creators tend to be pretty responsive to criticisms along these lines. I've had this same problem with some podcasts, and after I mentioned it to them, they started tagging their podcasts appropriately. Some of them even started adding "album art" after I explained how it would show up on newer iPod's when playing the track, if the iPod user uses iTunes.
I'd email the podcast author and let them know what's up. This is generally a better long term solution anyway, as it helps everybody.

NMT - Thoughts, Feature Requests & a Question - No...

After using Nokia Multimedia Transfer for over a day now with my N97 I am very happy with the software, it's a very good piece of software that looks at home on a Mac. I initially had problems with my mp3 collection not having embedded album artwork (this is the fault of iTunes not NMT) but have solved this by converting my mp3 collection to AAC (iTunes plus) and now have embedded album art.
The image transfer works but it just dumps all of the transferred images into an iPhoto structure that is not visible by the phone and as a result all of the images appear in the download folder of the image browser. This is not very practical when you have a lot of photos and it would be nice if NMT could duplicate the organisation of images in iPhoto (ie events, albums and folders). After all, you spend a lot of time organising your images in iPhoto and don't want to have manually repeat the process on your phone.
In another post I found a link to NMT feature requests that had been posted by a Nokia employee but I'm unable to find this link again. Does anybody have the link? If so could you post it to this topic?
The features I would like in NMT are:
The ability to duplicate the organisational structure in iPhoto (ie events, albums and folders)
Transfer of keywords/tags from iPhoto to the phone
Nokia, Great work on Nokia Multimedia Transfer!
Keep it coming for us Mac users (including an iSync plugin for the N97)
Nokia N97 (RM-507) v 22
iPhone 4 (Coming Soon) - Lemon N97 - SE - Nokia 8210 - Nokia 7710 - Nokia 5100

I am very agree with the most you talk.
But since the last update, the synchronization with iPhoto loose all the improvements done before with my N95.
1) The Delete after transfer do not work.
2) Photos deleted from the selected album in iPhoto, are not in the phone.
3) The phone never again is identified as a camera. And imports the files as a folder.
Any suggestion?

Feature requests

I'd like to submit some feature requests and complaints I've had with both the desktop and mobile apps.
1. Larger "add to queue" buttons for mobile- I always end up accidentally playing the track when I try to add it to the queue. This is extremely annoying because it stops the current song, and there is no way to easily go back to it.
2. Ability to jump to alphabetized artist in "your music" by typing the letters of their name like on iTunes, or some filter/search method. I have lots of artists and songs in that section, and it's incredibly annoying to have to spend so much time scrolling just to get to "z"
3. Always go back to specific location in scroll when hit "back" button.
4. Easy ability to remove item from playlist from "current song" screen as it's playing on mobile (and just in general, I couldn't figure out how to remove a song from playlist on mobile)
5. Ability to make each artist in your music as a small, narrow list element for ease of jumping around (both desktop and mobile)
6. Side alphabetical thing that you can tap to jump to a letter as in iPod music
7. Easy explicit versions of tracks. Sometimes a track will even say it's explicit but will be edited to have cuss words removed. This is ridiculous

Updated: 2015-07-27Hello there!
Thanks for the feedback, as mentioned, unfortunately we can only handle 1 feature request per topic, otherwise it's impossible to manage the received kudos / give the idea a proper status.
If you want to start a general feedback topic, that's great! But please use the respective help forum then. ;)
When you're re-posting those ideas in separate topics, please make sure to use the search function, since a lot of ideas might already be out there in the ideas forum. Thanks again!

Feature request for iTunes: Rating from iPod to Library.

I'm not able to send feature requests via the 'Provide iTunes feedback'. So I'm posting here. I use my iPod more often to listen to music than my computer. I don't have time to sit at my machine and rate files. But My commute is an hour so I've got a LOT of time on the train & bus to rate my songs as I listen to them. However when I plug in my iPod to update it, etc. the ratings on my iPod stay there and my songs in my library stay unrated.
I'd like for there to be an option for this. To be able to transfer song ratings from my iPod to my iTunes library.
Many thanks for the music.

Please teach me how to use this feature because it doesn't work for me. Even after restoring my iPod. Please note, I'm using an iPod Nano and I manually control my library & iPod. There is no syncing of playlists nor libraries.

Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

I'm very excited about your MTS support!
Feature request: Slide show module support for video files...
Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
great job!!!
Max

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

Feature request for radio on Nokia 5800

I sent some suggestions regarding Radio directly to Nokia but I'd like to post this request there as well so I can see what users think about this.
Also I'd like to know how many radio stations are available in your city. I have access to 27 stations but Nokia 5800 can store only 20 stations.
The original feature request is posted below. I made 2 mistakes but developers should be able to understand anyway.
1. The station list shouldn't display empty slots: there is no point in having gaps in the list and it makes the list longer even if some slots aren't used. The last slot should be displayed and named as "Add station"/"Empty" so user could add a new station at the end of list.
2. Add some basic functionality for organizing stations: "Sort by name", "Sort by frequency", "Move up", "Move down". The last two should be buttons rather then menu items so it would be easier to move station around.
3. Phone supports up to 20 stations and I have 27 stations in my city. It should be hard [note: I meant "should not be hard"] to increase this limit to 4294967296(2^32-1)[note: actually 4294967295]. It's not like we have to reserve space for these stations in advance and the list won't be filled with unused slots.
4. It would be nice to see RDS on Home Screen.
5. I have updated to V40.0.005 and RDS doesn't work anymore. Also Radio occasionally becomes frozen.
See /t5/Software-Updates/Nokia-5800-updated-to-V40-0-005-Radio-RDS/m-p/607102

This is a user to user forum so it is unlikely that anyone from Apple will see your post.
Try using "Provide iTunes feedback" on the iTunes help menu.
You can drag radio stations into a regular playlist if you want to keep ones you like together.

ITunes Feature Request: Shared Library Enhancements

I didn't see a section of the forum specific to feature requests so I'll just post here and see what kind of feedback pops up.
I use iTunes to manage the music library for my home network, then share the library to each system on the network. The only gripe I have is that I can not make my local systems load the artwork from music in the shared library. I am also a bit dissapointed that the "jukebox" view doesn't work for shared libraries, and that you can't make a playlist containing songs on a shared library.
I'm assuming these features were left out to conserve network bandwidth, which makes sense, however I think it should be an optional feature that that can be enabled for people with the hardware to support it. If you're running a gigabit home network then there is certainly enough bandwidth to spare to support this.
I'm a windows user and will always be, however I'm very impressed with iTunes and how efficiently it operates and handles tagging and other features. I just think that the shared library capabilities should be expanded. It'd even be nice if you could grant permission to a specific computer name or IP range giving systems permission to edit the library. Remote Desktop/VNC solutions work well for this, but it'd be nice to have an internal feature to support it.

Feature Request: itunes iphone-ipod interface

I think the iphone UI is fantastic and I'd like to be able to control itunes in a way that would replicate the iphone's ipod UI on my PC screen. I have a very small 800x600 in case touch screen monitor on my media PC, and it would be awesome if I could get a layered interface with big buttons to work on that screen (I can pull up itunes in that small screen, but its too small to navigate - especially by touch). I've searched and searched all over the web but have not been able to find anything like this. I have heard that it is possible to skin itunes, and I have found alternative skins, but so far the only skins I've found do nothing other than change itunes's color. Likewise, I've searched for various desktop widgets to accomplish this task. All I have been able to find are simple remotes which really can't do anything by way of album/song/playlist navigation.
This seems like a natural feature for itunes, and I can't believe that I'm the only one who would want something like this.

Feature request: filtering compilations

If any Apple developers are following this community, I have a small feature request that would be useful. In creating a smart playlist, there is an option to include only checked songs. I'd like to see a checkbox next to it marked "Don't include compilations." I know it's possible to do this in the playlist rules, but that's true for checked songs as well. Making it a checkbox would allow the user to easily toggle back and forth to see how the playlist changes when compilations are included or excluded.
Thanks!

Top Five Feature Requests for vs. 1.1

I love my ATV and it's working pretty well - Clearly there are hundreds features we could use - and want - apparently ANYtime we can expect vs 1.1 (will that be automatic? or do we have to manually stab for it)
Curious as to YOUR top 5 ATV software - "we need it now" feature requests...
Mine?
1. Video playlists
2. 720p content from the ITS
3. independant music select for different photo slide shows.
4. smother fast forward rewind - (if this remote can even deal with that)
5. Separate main menu section for music videos - (like movies, tv shows, etc) - They seem the odd child mixed in with the audio files)
Fritz
(who just sold the farm to order the new 8 core mac pro - should have it next week - woo FREAKIN' Hoo)

Rental content!
I'm not one to buy movies/tv-shows. I watch something once, and on very rare occasion twice. If Apple wants more money, they need to figure out how to offer a rental option.
Let me rent a movie for $2 and have 48 hours to watch it from the time I start to watch it (kind of like the failed DIVX when DVD players were new to the market). This way I can start watching it, rewind, pause until the next day (hey, sometimes you get that unexpected phone call and have to stop your movie).
People who want to own a movie will see the value in paying $10 for some movie, and Apple will pick up plenty of revenue from people like me paying $1.99 a pop to rent a movie, cause we aren't buying now, nor ever will.
Renting TV shows could be nice, great way to try out a series you missed. Do something like $0.79+or- to rent an episode of show. Maybe you heard some episode of South Park was hilarious, you missed it, and it won't be repeated until who knows when, but you have no desire to "own" it for $1.99. Cough up 79 cents and you could watch it.
I think there is pent-up demand for something like this, and Apple/Movie-studios could make quite a bit of money by fulfilling this demand.

Nokia 5310 Alarm Feature Request/Improvement

Hi,
I started using the Alarm with my Nokia recently. As alarm tone i selected a song. Unfortunatly the alarm switches itself off after 1 min? Can this be changed. It quite annoying if you sleep deep and cant hear the alarm or want to keep listening to the song while waking up.
It would be nice to have the alarm keep running. Or even make it play a playlist.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not doable, the phone will just repeat the alert tone when snoozed.
