The other night I was driving around, a little bored and decided to go back through my stack of burned CD's. It was pretty awesome, each CD reminded me just a different time over the last year when I was listening to it. Good memories.

Now, when you burn a CD in iTunes you have to make a playlist first. But I usually find myself deleting them soon after i burn them as they would quickly add up and be too numberous. I know this is all kind of lame making a suggestion for the next revision of iTunes, but I would love to see a new feature that let you browse your history of burned CD's. I'm sure I'll eventually lose of scratch all those burned CD's and its too effort to remake the playlists, but it'd just be really cool if they were always saved right there at my fingertips.

This belongs in the Applications forum.

It sounds like you already have this feature, but you delete them immediately…

Sassy, Sassy, Sassy.

It still seems like a good idea to me. And you could view them by date created and you could look back years later at what you were listening too. And if you were really hardcore about it you could look back on it and view the soundtrack of your life

My thoughts exactly..

Instead of deleting the playlists, just stick them all in a "Burned CD's" CD's folder.
Is it not almost identical to what you want?

Err ... TimeMachine anyone? If they can integrate it into iPhoto, I'm sure iTunes will be a piece of cake.

But what he's asking for isn't a backup and restore mechanism — it's a list of playlists that he's burned.

What I was thinking too. Additionally, you could put the date in the name of the playlists.

I'm just not sure that a "Burned CDs" feature would be something most people would care about.

This is a neat idea - what I would like though is that it remembers what you were listening to, so you could have smart playlists along the lines of "March 2005" that will always have X number of songs that you played most March 2005. so in a few years time you can look back and see which songs you listened to in a certain month.

basically - highest played songs for a specific month. Unfortunately you can't do this no unless you reset all your play counts each month.

Personally I don't burn CDs from iTunes, but even if I did I'm not sure this is the kind of feature that most users want, and more likely it would just end up contributing to bloat and complexity. You can already do what you want. Make a folder called "Burned CDs" and everytime you burn a playlist, move it into that folder.

[Peter753]

Thats actually a good idea. I didn't notice the folder feature till just now. THat'll actually work great. It could still be a cool feature haveing it automated, I dunno. I understand the arguments against it though.

Thanks for the interest everyone.

And that wouldn't work either.

How not? You start at 0 for all songs, then on the last day of the month you make a playlist (normal, not a smart one) of the top X songs played.

You then reset everything to 0.

I suppose a nice app could be written for this, that does nto involve resetting the playcount. It would read the songs and playcount on the first of the month, then on the last of the month, and work out the difference, and do it that way.

Ah. I see. It just wouldn't work with Smart Playlists.
