Design your own list view

With SmartPlaylistv 5.8 you will be able to configure exactly what information you want to see in the list view. You can select up to 6 different song attributes (3 in the main line, 3 in the sub-line) from the 11 available ones. You can also specify how (with which characters) to separate the different additional infos.
Here is an example:
Line 1: Title & " • " & Duration
Line 2: Artist & "  -- " & Album

... which is configured like this:

With the "⌥"-button you can select from the different available attributes:

  

Some more suggestions (for line 1 or 2), to show what is possible:

• Artist & ": " & Title & " (" & Track# & ")"
• Title & "  / bpm:" & BPM
• Title & " | " & Year & " | " & Duration
• ... 

Note:

• Don't overload it. On old hardware (e.g. iPodTouch2) it is best to just use Title / Artist
• On the iPad there is much more space that can be used
• Rating, PlayCount & LastPlayed can be displayed seperately ("hide" / "as ▯▯▮▮▮" / "as text")

Problem with SmartPlaylist v5.6 & v5.7 on iPad with iOS < 5.1

Due to a bug, SmartPlaylist v5.6 & v5.7 does not work on iPad with iOS less than 5.1.

What you can do to solve the problem:
Update your iPad to iOS 5.1 or wait for SmartPlaylist v5.8 (due to be out approx. on 25. April).

v5.6 out already

Simple enough: Go to ⌘, "Settings..." and untick the rules you never use. They will be hidden.

If you hide a rule which is still used in a SmartPlaylist, you will still see it when you use ⌘, "Show only active rules".

With the next release (v5.7) you will also be able to configure what you want to see in the MusicBrowser "Genres➤Composers➤Groupings➤Artists➤Albums➤Titles", e.g. to make just "Genres➤Artists➤Albums➤Titles"

v5.5: Options for list display

Some examples of how you can configure your list display in ⌘ > Settings:

This is the most basic and therefore fastest configuration

With artwork "medium" line 2 is folded into 2 lines, if necessary

With artwork "large" you get up to 4 lines.

Changing the artwork size can be done directly in the list view by using the "pinch" gesture.

v5.4: More concise list-view

As you can see, the list-view now shows only the most important infos at a glance:
Artwork, title, artist and composer (in []). On the iPad you also get the album's name.

Plus: 3 graphical playback indicators on the left for each song.

The 1. indicator on top shows the rating (0-5):
"-" no rating

"▮"  ★····

"▮▮"  ★★···

"▮▮▮"  ★★★··

"▮▮▮▮"  ★★★★·

"▮▮▮▮▮"  ★★★★★

The 2. indicator in the middle shows the play count as graphical bars:
"-" never played
"▮" played 1-3 times
"▮▮" played 4-6 times
"▮▮▮" played 7-12 times
"▮▮▮▮" played 13-24 times
"▮▮▮▮▮" played more than 24 times

The bars at the bottom (3.) show how long ago the song was last played:

"-" never played

"▮" last played 1-6 days ago ("some days ago")

"▮▮" last played 7-30 days ago ("some weeks ago")

"▮▮▮" last played 31-180 days ago ("some months ago")

"▮▮▮▮" last played 181-365 days ago ("more than half a year ago")

"▮▮▮▮▮" last played more than 365 days ago ("more than a year ago")

Hope you like it.
