iPod - Delete tracks not in a playlist

TheBlueRaja · 02-10-2005, 18:47

Is there anyway that I can search my iPod for songs that dont appear in any playlist and delete them?

This would be a VERY handy feature for me as i manage all my albums and songs by playlist and if you delete a playlist it dosent delete the music behind it in iTunes so im sure i have left quite a bit lying around.

Even if you know of any third party apps that would do it.

Isn't that the synch feature? It checks what is on the playlist and deletes what isn't?

Not an IPod user myself so not sure, think Stu C may have more idea to be honest.

Ah, well - i dont have all my music on my PC and my iPod - just my iPod so a sync will not work unless i backup everything and then restore. Which will take ages as its a full 30 Gig iPod.

There must be a way to do this though.

Sorted it - i am a registered user of Anapod and there is a, albeit well hidden, funtion in there that allows you to see what tracks are assigned to what playlist and how also which tracks arent.

Freed up about another Gig - need a bigger Pod!
