    flashback friday

    If you’re like me and have an embarrassment of digitized music in iTunes, here’s a fun thing to try: The College Years Smart Playlist. Here’s how to make it.

    1. Create a new Smart Playlist (File: New Smart Playlist). I called mine “College Years”.

    2. Select “Year” and “is in the range” and put in the year you started college “to” the year you graduated. (If you didn’t go to college, use another date range that’s meaningful to you.)

    3. Optional: Omit any song that you skip a lot. Click the plus icon, select “Skip Count” “is less than” and put in a small number (I picked 5). Make sure the top says “Match all of the following rules.” In the end, it should look like this.

    4. Click “OK” and enjoy the sounds of your formative years.

    My playlist turned out to be 9 gigs of awesome and embarrassing musical throwbacks, heavy on the early hiphop and flannel rock. It’s kept me smiling all week.

    What’s on yours?

    Happened across this blog post -- sounds like something I'd try just to see to what degree I've held onto some of my bad musical taste from high school and college.

    My name is Greg Verdino. I'm a marketer, writer and speaker currently working as VP/Strategy & Solutions at Powered. My book, microMARKETING hits shelves on August 13, 2010. When I procrastinate by surfing the web or manage to step away from the computer and get outside for a few minutes, some of what I find ends up here.
