My autoplaylists are made up of other autoplaylists then all auto synced to my iPod whenever i connect, which means i can have access to LOADS of songs in the overall massive autoplaylist in one go, or whittle is down depends on a loads of factors (of my own choosing).

Anyway forget it i know i'm flogging a dead horse

Nowt wrong with flogging dead horses

I do exactly the same as you, smart playlists and then other smart playlists based on other smart playlists on set criterion. The list of things that can be used to make the smart playlist is huge!

I reckon both programs now have similar functionality and each probably have their own plusses and minuses.

Here's a small section of one of my smart playlists, note the scrollbar, if I scroll up and down there are about double the number of rules that you can see controlling the list...


Now I must go to work. Great new job I've got in "Bob's horse flogging factory"

I don't create all this playlist crap I just select all, press on "random" and just click on next if I don't like the song. Furthermore I have many thousands of songs that are not tagged and I'm definitely not bothered about tagging them all either

Windows = Winamp or MediaMonkey (see Alex, sometimes people do listen).
Mac = iTunes

Code your own.

I don't have a Linux choice. It's be pointless as my Linux box doesn't have any speakers connected.

Amarok on linux probably, although i have very little experience myself, i probably wouldn't be able to get the sound working unless it worked out the box

And mediamonkey is based off winamp anyway

Defo get gold and you can get it for free, sign up to one of the trailpay things like emusic it gives you an instant 3.x key and you can cancel your subscription without paying anything in your 7 day trial 100% free no hassle no fuss and you get to keep the key I've done it a few times (except i used lovefilm and they were a bit more of a hassle at cancelling but it worked out anyway).
