TUAW Tip: View all items in iTunes 7

by Dan Lurie Dec 21st 2006 at 7:00AM

One of the things that has been bugging me since updating to iTunes 7 is the inability to see all my content at once; podcasts, video, audio and PDFs-all of it. While I normally don't need to see all my content in a single view, certain tasks, such as when I'm trying to get a feel for how much media I have on my machine, can't be completed without this ability. Luckily for me, macosxhints has posted a stupidly-easy workaround for this conundrum by way of a custom smart playlist. All you have to do is create a smart playlist with the condition set to show all media greater than 0 megabytes, and sha-zam! You've got that olde-timey functionality alive and kickin'.

So.. how much stuff do you guys have in iTunes? I'm sure that plenty of people top my meagre 20GB of 763 items and 4.3 days worth.

It doesn't show the iPod games, though.

I like how we have to go to osxhints.com to make our programs do things they should do normally...

I'm using this script:

tell application "iTunes"
activate
set view of front browser window to library playlist 1
end tell
