When the original iPod was released 10 years ago, almost everyone wants to get hold of this compact mp3 player. Then the iPhone was released. Aside from the usual call and text combination, the iPhone is now packed with features that render the original iPod, and its succeeding models, redundant. iPhone these days is capable of storing media files that can work as your mp3 player as well.
Now that you own an iPhone, it is now your obligation to manage your music files with a good iTunes organizer to make your listening experience more personalized. Here are some tips on how to manage and organize your music collection in your iPhone.
Create playlists
A lot of people have their own preference of music depending on the mood. Instead of shuffling your iPhone until you find your song choice, why not make a playlist? You can organize your favourite songs into a folder and label it accordingly. But if you think that sorting the music manually takes a lot of time, use the smart playlist and let it do the job for you. Just set the criteria you want for every playlist such as the most played or songs with low play count and the job will be done for you.
