Just now realizing how much having an 8GB SUCKS!

Then don't make a thread if you don't want responses. Simple as that

basically i just made the thread last night cause i was frustrated and bored because i had to start choosing which albums go back to itunes.. I was NOT complaining..

There you go with your capitalizing of random words. That's no one's issue but your own. It's your fault you can't make playlists that satisfy your music needs.

The other reason i made the thread and worded it the way i did was because i have seen a TON of people say "i'm thinking about getting an iphone so that i can cut down on the amount of devices i carry ie: GPS, iPod, and Phone" should i get the 8GB or the 16GB?"

an iPhone does cut down on the amount of devices one needs to carry. Again, it's your fault that you don't know how to make playlists.

Anyways, i just posted becase in my experience, it is frustrating for a music lover to try and organize songs into "favorites" and "most listened to" because theres always going to be a random obsure song that i want to hear at some random, obscure, moment.. So.. that means i STILL have to carry my ipod on me (not complaining, just SAYING)

So... everyone happy with 8GB is a music hater? I can condense my enormous library down to just 4GB of the songs I want to hear with just a little clever tagging and some powerful playlists. Again, any problem you're having is your issue, not the fault of your phone.

Why does everyone have to even START a flame war? why couldnt people just respond.. Or better yet, why couldnt people just ignore a thread that they are annoyed at.. or why complain about someone voicing just an OPINION on a public forum? Why flame someone for posting just a straigh up thought or opinion? Why?

if your post didn't have a reason then it was you who initiated the flame war. After all flame posts don't really have reasons other than to get people riled up. I don't think every post that disagreed with you was complaining about the thread. Most people seemed to be giving you advice on how to put together playlists (something you can't seem to understand, but that's your issue)

PS: why post something in a forum if you don't want any replies? Maybe you should go and start a journal, paper and pencil sort of thing.

Because there are people who like to make themselves feel better by trying to make other people feel stupid.

Just don't take it personally, they can't help it.
 
the thing is.. i WASNT riled up. YOU PEOPLE got riled up. and who cares how i type. I use caps in place of bold or italics.

I said i didnt EXPECT responses, not i didnt want responses. I posted just to post. I was bored. but i didnt post with anger or any type of tone. I was just bored and posting my frustration.

And i can go through this again, or your can read through the thread. I dont WANT playlists. a playlist can not guess what song I am going to want to play randomly in the car when some thought pops into my head.

a smart playlist can. Do you know how to make a smart list?
 
8GB just got a whole lot bigger

Check out the SimplifyMedia app in the store. I could only dl it on my computer and sync (couldn't find it doing a quick search on the iPhone). Looks REALLY promising.

PS: I LIKE the way you capitalize certain words. :)
 
a smart playlist can only GUESS> yes, i know how to make one.. but like i said, i get random urges to listed to an album that i otherwisse woudl have never listened to. There is no cpu algorhythm that could do that. I'm sorry. i have a rather rast array of styles of music. I can not guess what i might want to listen to at whatever time.. or what a friend might want to listen to . I would rather NOT use playlist and carry two devices.

I do NOW have the simplify media (which i already posted) and have been using that. ITS AWESOME

GUESS>?

Then you're not making your 'smart' playlists smart enough. Instead of complaining why don't you just try to survive off of some smart playlists? Just go a month using smart lists and other 'necessary' lists to sync to your phone and see how big of an issue it is.
 
because i DID try the smart playlists, and although it can figure out what i MIGHT want to watch, it will not have everything when i want it. The thing is, and i have said this, is that my music listening isn't habitual, so no algorythm is going to figure out that I might be in the mood to listen to a random song that i havent listened to and didnt even LIKE last week.

Also, what about my friends. What if I'm int he car with my cousin who LOVES 80s pop and she wanted to hear something other than my typical punk rock> What then? my "smart" playlist can not account for all that.

You are giving to too much credit. I play music for more than just myself, so i need/want all my music.

Like i said, this can END now because i have SM.. AND i already said that carrying my ipod is not that bad! I was just making a point that the iphone doesnt REALLY cut down on carrying multiple devices like people intially hoped it would

And I'm just saying that the iPhone DOES cut down on the amount of devices that you need to carry. but for some reason you're set on the idea that because it didn't happen for you that it won't happen for anyone. Sure there's no logic to that sort of thinking, but since you can't take anyone's advice I assume you're not a very logical person.

PS: look! I did your random caps lock thing :) hopefully people don't mistake my post for yours now ;)

Hi
I liked the logic in your smart playlist, however I am unable to recreate it. When I do (what I think should work) I get an extremely short playlist. Could you fill me in on what the rules to your smart list is?
Perhaps post a screen shot?

Attached is a screen capture of the smart list I use. Let me know if you have any questions.

Like kicking those dead horses do we?

It was pretty annoying, but she quit. Give her a break.

And simplify media seems pretty promising. Can't wait to get home and set it up.

Looks like that 'dead horse' is still kicking (random CAPS and all).
