A smarter playlist for iPod mini

“When you plug an iPod mini into a computer that bears an iTunes library larger than the mini’s 3.7GB capacity, iTunes offers to create a playlist that contains a subset of the tunes on your computer.

This is a very cool feature, but not as cool as it could be.

You see, when iTunes creates that playlists it gives no consideration to file size.”
