One-Question Poll: iTunes Playlist Folders

[rsadelle]

People always look at me strangely when I talk about folders in iTunes, so let's have a poll.

[Poll #1413920]

To quote Lucille Bluth, "I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it."

My iTunes automatically organizes by artist-name folders, and then I have playlists within the program. Is this what you mean by playlist folders?

[rsadelle]

*snicker* Bluth quotes are never inappropriate!

If you go to File in iTunes, one of your options is New Playlist Folder, and then you can add playlists to a playlist folder or even have playlist folders within playlist folders. I use these all the time, and nest them sensibly and use them to shuffle things together. Maybe this needs a screenshot:



dedalvs said he didn't even know such a thing existed, which makes me wonder if it's something iTunes added in a later release after people who aren't me already knew how to use it and never bothered poking around.

Yeah, for the purposes of your poll, I responded "iTunes has folders?", even though, thanks to you, I now know iTunes has folders (and I use them, too!).

[rsadelle]

Aha! This says folders were introduced in iTunes 5. I'll bet you've been using it since before then.

Ah, I see now. I just have a bunch of playlists and didn't know that folders thing even existed.

I hope you have Mark's cover of "Keep the Mood" filed under Mark. ;-)

That's part of what makes me think it must be a newer feature.

Of course! (I keep thinking that TAI and Remember Maine should really be under a William Beckett folder.)

Aha! This says folders were introduced in iTunes 5. I'll bet you and the other confused people have been using it since before then.
