How to create a playlist from a folder in iTunes

iTunes allows you to quickly create a playlist which you can create either manually by selecting files from your library or alternatively a smart playlist based on certain criteria. However, one lesser known feature is creating playlists from a folder on your hard drive.

Creating a playlist from a folder is a simple two step process. The first step is similar to creating any other playlist. Hit + sign at the bottom left of your screen and give your playlist a name.

Step 1: Create a playlist

Once you have your playlist created, all you need to do is drag and drop the folder which contains your music on the playlist entry that you just created.

Step 2: Drag the folder on the playlist

iTunes will automatically read all the files in the folder and add it both to the playlist, as well as your music library. The next time you sync your iPod, iPad or iPhone with iTunes, the new playlist that you created will be copied onto the device, ready for you to play!

Do you have a cool iTunes tip? Comment below and let us know.

Get info about websites with Stat My Web

There are quite a few websites out there which provide you with some good tools to find out about websites on the internet. Stat My Web is one such site that can easily fetch a lot of data about any website.

The website provides detailed stats about websites like – when it was created, where is it hosted, how much is it  worth and where does it rank on the web. These detailed stats are displayed in both graphical and text  formats.

I like the level of accuracy of most of the stats. The age of the website, rank and other statistics are pretty accurate. However, you do need to take the $ amounts with a pinch of salt.

Besides this , there are also over 15 tools which help in specific analysis of the website. While some of the tools are well developed, I believe tools can do some work. One that I am especially particularly interested in is the Website Speed Test tool.

3 Disadvantages to Using a Broadband Dongle

The broadband internet market has grown significantly over the years, leading to a lot of new innovation and the ability to access the internet using a modem of your choice. One great device that was introduced over the years is the mobile broadband dongle, and it is currently one of the most popular devices used to access the internet due to its flexibility, the security it offers and several other advantages. Personally, I believe that using a mobile broadband dongle can be a smart decision, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have disadvantages and I think we all need to know about its disadvantages before deciding to use it. This article will be listing 3 major disadvantages to using a broadband dongle.

Broadband Dongle

Speed is Limited

The number one disadvantage to using a broadband dongle is that the speed you get with it is limited. With other forms of broadband internet service you can easily get better internet speeds without having to buy a new modem or take any extra measure. This isn’t the case with the broadband dongle, and presently, the two major forms of broadband dongle provide internet speeds of 3.2mbps and 7.6mbps. What that means is that if you want faster internet access you still can’t get it with such a dongle even if your ISP is providing better speeds. If you don’t think you will need to use up to 7mbps data transfer in any given period then going for a broadband dongle might be a smart decision on your part.

You are Restricted to the Same Interface

One thing I really dislike about using a broadband dongle is that you are restricted to the same interface. For example, if you are to decide to tether your mobile phone with your computer, aside your phone PC suite, there are countless applications available online to help you with that. If you decide to change ISP and as a result use the dongle you purchased from your current ISP with a new ISP you will be forced to use the interface of your old ISP.

It Isn’t Easily Accessible

Another major drawback to using a broadband dongle is that it isn’t easily accessible. By this, I’m not trying to say you can’t get it easily, what I mean is that you can hardly get a broadband dongle that isn’t a 3.6mbps dongle or a 7.2mbps dongle. I believe people should be able to get faster dongles, or if possible, custom tailored dongles, but that isn’t possible at the moment.
