I have a huge main iTunes library that I share with another mac in my living room. My wife dislikes reggae (for lack of a better term) & I would like be able to shuffle this whole library except for any albums tagged as reggae.I don't want to uncheck 50 or so gbs of in my collection & I am not looking to create a second itunes library either, just a simple way of deciding which music I share between my macs.

I apologize in advance if this has been covered already ( I did dig in & look through the forum in advance).

Thanks

Create a smart playlist (check iTunes help for a lot more info on this) that excludes the sort of music she doesn't like; then share only the smart playlist.

Pretty smart, eh?
