[QUOTE="herrlosse, post: 1837477, member: 403638"] Hello and thanks for the welcome chscag, I fear I haven't explained myself very well. I'm aware I could delete the music from the iTunes library very easily, I am also not having any issues syncing to my iPhone 7 (13.2.3). However I download music from the internet into my Music folder (50 GB+ full) on my Macbook (El Capitan, 10.11.6) and then import the entire music folder into iTunes every week or so once I've accumulated enough new music. I'll tend to listen to an album at least twice before deciding to keep or delete. As I listen I mark my favourite tracks as Loved so they're easily separated from the rest. I want to keep the songs I mark as 'Loved' on my computer but delete the rest of the album [B]from my computer[/B] but (not just iTunes) manually going into each individual album and selecting all the songs but the 'loved' ones would take a long time. What I am asking is if the act of 'loving' a track somehow marks it in a way they can then all be searched in Finder or Terminal or something, thus cut and placed into a folder, say "Loved" then I can just delete the rest of the albums without having the click into each one and individually delete tracks. I hope this makes it more clear, if there's any other information you need to answer this please let me know. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
