iTunes 7

Organize your music song by song or let iTunes do it for you. iTunes playlists give you flexible options for playing DJ at a party, selecting music for your iPod or iPhone, and sharing your taste by publishing an iMix playlist on the iTunes Store.

Mix it up.

iTunes lets you create playlists that match your musical whims and fancies. Simply drag and drop songs into a playlist, then group your playlists into folders to organize them as you please. Keep, say, a folder of mood music with playlists for every emotion. Or a folder of playlists perfect for any road trip.

Get smart.

Have iTunes create a playlist for you with Smart Playlists. Simply indicate your desired criteria — like all the rock songs you’ve added to your library in the past month or songs you’ve listened to more than 10 times — and iTunes finds the songs that match your rules and creates a playlist that updates itself automatically.

Try some selective listening.

Your party deserves a great soundtrack, and iTunes helps you jump-start your set list. The Party Shuffle feature creates a dynamic playlist from either your entire library or a specific playlist. Review upcoming songs to reorder or remove on the fly, or add songs to the mix at any time.

Share your taste in music.

Take your playlist talents to the people by publishing an iMix on the iTunes Store. Then display your iMix on your blog, social-networking profile, or website. Just click "Publish to the Web" on any iMix page, and iTunes builds the Flash code for your website and creates a feed of your iMix. Or try My iTunes for an easy way to keep your friends up-to-date on your favorite music, TV shows, movies, and more with self-updating web widgets.
