I am now able to do most things with iTunes, and it is pretty good.
I have a lot of lecture series, and listen to them on and off. Sometimes I forget which I am up to in a series. But those smart playlists are pretty good. First I set all tracks in the series to remember where I finished listening. This is handy as some go for an hour and have two lectures in one track. Next I make a list that selects only the lecture series I am listening to. But the trick is to also make that playlist exclude any tracks that have a playcount greater than zero.
Now to listen to wherever I am up to I just need to go to the playlist and select the first track. If it is new for me it will go to the beginning. Otherwise it will go to wherever I left off. If I dont listen to the last few seconds of a lecture and start that one again, it goes straight to the end, plays those last few seconds, and moves to the next track. Very clever.
Two criticisms of iTunes.
It is laggy. Sometimes this pisses me off, but it is looking at over 10,000 tracks, with album art so not a small task.
I wish there were a way to it sort albums by date when you have the main sort as artist. Abbey Road should not be the first Beatles album in the list of Beatles albums.
