some sounds we like

I downloaded about 40 tracks from the de:bug podcast in itunes, and dutifully put them into a playlist so I could listen to them back to back without having to go back to itunes and play each file like you have to with podcast files. (problem 1) Then I wanted to delete them from the podcast list because holy crap, that podcast is super active, and if I didn’t, I’d have a mile long list of files, quickly (problem 2). “Do you want me to throw these files in the trash, or keep them in the library?” Oh, well, keep them in the library, I added them to a playlist. That should be ok, right? I go back to the playlist, there’s no songs in the playlist now…(problem 3) nice. so, I have a couple hundred megs of files that I can’t locate easily, because they’re in the gordian knot that is my music library. You can’t search by origination point (problem 4) (podcasts.. ok, which podcast did this come from?), you can’t search by music label like “Show all ninjatune songs” (problem 5), you can’t search by “added on” date if they’re not in a playlist (problem 6). Man, I know we have to love itunes, but.. dang. Lots of room to improve here.
