Anyone know how to share a playlist ?

Educate me?

I was thinking, it would be "nice" to create a playlist for the GH 10-disc set, and share the list with other RM folks.....

You can't share music outside of your subnet using iTunes. You could create a playlist and share it with other computers on your local network, but Apple disabled the feature that used to allow people to share playlists and stream music across the internet.
You can create a playlist for display on the iTunes Music Store, like the celebrity playlists. Simply create a playlist and click on the little gray arrow next to the name of your playlist. Your playlist will be made available for all to see and rate, but will only include songs available at iTMS. You may have to rename some of your tracks and albums to match iTMS to make the songs appear in the iMix list.

Yeah, only the ones they can sell you... got it.

I've noticed on more than one occasions so far that the database information coming down from iTunes/Apple has errors (when you import songs from a CD and it queries the database, I've gotten wrong information on at least 2 out of 95 CDs so far). I suppose that isn't a bad average, I sent the track info back using the feature in the tools menu, but I don't know how they go about updating their database to correct inaccuracies.

I also noticed when importing No Code, their database comes back with both Yield and No Code and asks the user to pick one. You would think they would have fixed that long ago.

Thanks for the playlist feature information!!

Just to clarify, it's not Apple's database that gets the cd track names. iTunes uses the CDDB database by Gracenote, which is what almost every other music player uses to get track names from the net and it not unusual at all that there are errors (e.g I think it was the Benaroya CD? (can't remember) that had Lukin labeled as Lunkin from the CDDB).

Right, and Gracenote's CD database is completely contributed by users. They don't check the database for errors, so there are bound to be tons of typos.
