my iPod/iTunes @ACTION folder

i'm listening to my iPod, and then I think "Oh, I should put this song on that mix I'm making for so-and-so" or "this track sounds distorted, I should re-rip this CD." How do I capture that? I've reserved the one-star rating to denote ACTION (using ratings 2-5 for their customary use), so I tag the song with a one-star rating on the fly. Then I have a smart playlist on my home machine that only includes one-star songs, called, unsurprisingly, @ACTION.

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
