PC iPod software is a joke!

and yes, musicmatch was a joke even before the iPod existed.

I completely agree. I was playing around with what music app to use on my pc, usually using WINAMP, until it would randomly refuse to play any of my mp3s, saying they did not exist...

And then I went to WMP, which was ok because it loaded in > 1 sec, and always played my mp3s fine.

Then I wanted to see what else was out there so I tried musicmatch, which had the same problem as winamp with my music, and was EXTREMELY BLOATED and worse of all took like 5 minutes to load even with a system containing 384mb ram!

Yeah Music Match is to be avoided like the plague, whether you're used to good HIG compliant software, or not.

I was wondering if it was possible to view music on my ipod by date, for example music from the 90's or 70's etc. Which out having to put music in seperate folders 70's Soul, 80's Soul?

whoah, you replied to a kindof old thread. i just tried it on my first gen. ipod. and you can't really do that - are you using itunes for windows ? by now i hope you are - you could make a playlist and name it 70s music, 80s music by going into the library without anything in the search field, then go to edit/view options/and have the year radio button checked, and you can click on year in the library window to organize which year each song was ripped. that is of course, if the id3 tag info is up to date, if not - you'll prolly have to update it yourself. anywho, just drag your 1970s tracks to a new 1970s playlist.

the steps may be a bit different - i'm in os 9 on iTunes 2.0.4
