Hello,
My apologies if this has been asked before......
I'm trying to speed up the process of locating the desired album / artist on my 60 Gb 5th generation iPod Classic by creating a top-level folder structure. For example, my playlist folder structure in iTunes is as follows:
Classical
Groups
Male
Female
The Groups folder contains smart playlists for all rock/pop groups, Female contains all solo female artists etc.
I was hoping to replicate this structure on the iPod to enable any required artist / album to be located quickly via the folder - ie without having to scroll through a very long list of playlists, but no matter how I try, I always end up with just that - a very long list of playlists! The top level folders (Classical, Groups etc) are not replicated onto the iPod. I have tried manual and auto-sync to no avail.
I have looked elsewhere and have seen claims that this is possible but have been unable to achieve this. If it is possible, is this something that can only be done on 'the dark side' (Windows arghh).
If this strategy can be replicated on a Mac based library, I'd be very grateful for precise instructions on how to accomplish it.
Many thanks
