I have several playlists in my ipod, but I noticed that I have a hard time mixing Prince into my other playlists and that I rather keep his music seperate and that I enjoy it more that way.

Anyone else have this problem?

Yes.

I wouldn't call it a "problem" though. It just is.

Though I don't see it as a problem, I keep ALL my Prince music separate from my other music. On my computer, mp3 player even down to separate storage boxes. Even my Prince cd's are separated, Cds, Singles & cassettes all have separate boxes. Ive just always done it this way, I don't know why!!!!! Oh & They are catalogued so they go back in Chronilogical order....... Strange I know but that's just me!!

other music?

I have 7 - His released stuff, associated & proteges, b-sides, bootlegs, extended & remixes, outtakes & misc.

It's necessary.

Oh wow..........there is someone else like me !!!!!!!!!!

I thought I was the only weird one

I even have a seperate portable hard drive labeled PRINCE - with only his stuff on it.

Yes

I don't think I've ever made a mixed Prince/non-Prince music playlist

Me Too........... I bought a 2 gb portable harddrive just for my Prince stuff, Pics, Videos, Music etc...... My partner was complaining because the computer was too slow due to the memory use on Prince........ Problem solved now!!!!

Lovesexy - that is so funny - now I am even more paranoid I am thinking of buying another hard-drive to backup on as well, in case one drive fails !!!

Mind you, it is much easier storing boots and things on a HD than burning on to original discs like years ago and storing those. So a couple of hard drives really is a good investment - also when you think of the $ you spend on CDrs - then you save in the end.

But all the official stuff like CDs and DVDs and some of my fav boots are stored in a box - WHICH IS PURPLE MAY I ADD - with HRH Prince on it - LOL

All the other artists can hang out in the "other" boxes.......afterall you cannot mix common folk with royalty now can you ????

I dont have Playlists setup, I just have my P music set up like an imaginary remastered release of the album. eg

1999 (Standard Album)

1999 Disc 2 (all B-sides, ext re-mixes, and "perfect" sounding alternate versions. ie Something In The Water & DMSR)

1999 Disc 3 (the Demos, and any other song released during that time, good or bad quality)

I have a few dedicated entirley to Prince. Post 90's (Prince//NPG) Pre 90's (Prince/Revolution) Boots. Live TV. and Live Concert/Aftershows. I find this takes me wherever my mood fancies.

Prince stands alone in his own genre/s, and so deserves playlists seperated from anything else. For me this also applies to all phisical formats. My entire collection, Tapes CD's, Vinal, VHS, DVD's, Programs, and other memorobila is housed completly seperatly (and cronologically) from my other music. Good work Lovesexy06!

On my Windows Media Player on my PC, I have a playlist 4 just Prince, then one 4 Elisa Fiorillo, one 4 Alicia Keys, and several others unrelated 2 Prince.

Bottom line - Prince is in a class all by himself as far as I'm concerned, and it just makes sense 2 make a Prince-only playlist.

No you can't mix Prince with mere mortals of the music world !!!!!!! I have purple boxes with his Symbol on each lid & my family think it's great to do the old switcharoo with them now & again... That's ok but, I just tell them dinner will be late while I sort them all out again!!!!

iTunes also has "Favourites" and "Top Pissed Party Tunes". Kiss and Girls and Boys are in the latter.

other music

Prince doesn't play well with others.

several playlists with Prince mixed in.

however, I label all of his stuff and related-artists stuff as "Prince" in the genre field in iTunes so that I've got quicker access to only that stuff so that I can only sift through that material if I need to. helps when you've filled up a 160 GB iPod Classic and have several tens of thousands of tracks in your iTunes.

I have a 2 TB external hard drive...not full by any means....but still exclusivy Prince....practically. with storage...I think overkill is always best...the cost is so low...its always better to have too much space than not enuff....cuz at Tue end of the day...to much space ALWAYS leads to not enough eventually....lol.

^^ I corrected my post it's 2 TB not GB........ 2 GB just wouldn't be anywhere near enough space!!

On my iPhone I have a playlist called Prince 78/88. And another playlist called 89-present. Each list contains my favorite P jams from those time periods.

I only have Prince ( and the Related Artist ) music on my iPod

Not really. I have a three playlists....

The Purple Xone - That has Prince and Prince related material...

Purple Passion..all his slow songs

Purple Funk all the funk tunes. Some MPLS style songs I should put in the Purple Xone though since they still sound Prince like anyway....hmm.
