I have autoplaylists that are based on my songs' ratings (1 list for 5-star songs, 1 list for 4-stars, etc.). I also have a list for unrated songs so that I can just listen to those and rank them as I do so. Back in the bad days when I was using iTunes if I was listening on my PC via iTunes, changing a song's rating would immediately move it to the applicable playlist...meaning that if I changed an unrated song to 3-stars, it would immediately move to the 3-star list.
When I was listening to my unrated list on my iPod, if I were to rate a song and then reload the playlist (select a different playlist to listen to, then go back and start listening to the unrated list again) the newly rated song would be gone from the unrated list.
Question 1: Does MM have this "on-the-fly" updating feature when listening on my PC? Or do I need to rebuild an autoplaylist to have it recognize changes to tag attributes? If MM does do this, what am I missing that it's not happening?
Question 2: Can MM-created autoplaylists automatically update even when they're on my iPod?
I'd imagine that even if the answer to Question 1 is currently "no" that this feature would be on the wishlist. Question 2 seems to be stretching, but I wouldn't put it past you guys...you've made a great product, so anything's possible!
Thanks.
