Hi there,

I'm a newbie to this board (although I have been surfing the site for ages and ages) and I apologize if the question I'm about to ask has been covered before. I'd appreciate any advice or help.

Like many of you, I have an iTunes library that exceeds what I keep on my iPod. So I keep a playlist in iTunes called "iPod tracklisting <today's date>" that I obviously modify whenever I add tracks to the iPod; this way, if I ever need to erase the iPod, I can just automatically restore it with all the tracks from that playlist.

Occasionally, though, I forget to add or delete a track to the correct playlist, and long story short, I wind up with a discrepancy between what's on the iPod and what's in the iTunes playlist previously mentioned. And it's usually just by one or two songs, and it's impossible to scroll through over 3400 songs to find out what the discrepancy is.

My question is: is there a script available that will allow me to compare two playlists and note the discrepancies between the two? This would most likely make it much easier for me to keep track of what's on the iPod and what I have listed in the playlist on iTunes.

Thanks in advance for any help. I check Doug's excellent website often and unfortunately haven't been able to come across what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

Jason
