Take a look to this screencast that I did when i was on songbird




iTunes has a feature that allows songs in playlists to be "disabled" using a checkbox next to the song. This means that the song is skipped permanently every time it, otherwise, would be next in turn to be played. This still allows one to import full albums to iTunes + skip playing some of the songs while keeping the album intact. This is an extremely important feature to me and is (believe it or not) the ONLY reason why I still use iTunes.

To make that feature available somehow would be SO nice! It'd make me switch to Songbird in a jiffy Smile

Cheers!

I know that this should be doable - I don't think it'd even be all that involved...

For all I know, an addon for it may already exist. GeekShadow, rsjtdrjgfuzkfg and lots of guys here would probably know..

This is Issue #56.
I currently use PartyRuffle as a workaround. I set the probability of 1-star rated tracks coming up in it to 0%, so I never get these in there..

Additionally to freaktechnik's workaround, you could also add a playlist with all songs to sync (could be a smart playlist based on other playlists, comments, etc, whichever system is working for you - if you use freaktechnik's solution all songs with a rating different from 1). Then use that playlist with the synchronization feature.
