Checking if a title/album is part of any playlist

Hello,

I am looking for a way to know which albums I have added into my iTunes collection are currently not part of any of my current playlists. A simple flag indicating that a certain title or album is already part of at least one playlist would be nice, of course the absolute kicker would be if there was a way to tell to which playlists this album or title was added.

   Hi,

   AFAIK neither iTunes nor beaTunes offer such a feature at the moment.
   May I ask why you are interested in this?

   Thanks,

   I was one of the early adopters of CDs, and purchased titles for about 30 years now. I still have LPs as well, and several of them I have digitalized, cleaned up with Sound Forge, and placed into my iTunes library. When I visit Beatport or JunoDownload, I feel like a child in a candy store. So my library is, as you can image, pretty big. :)
   Now, my musical taste is quite ecletic - I have early synthesizer music from Tangerine Dream, Tomita, etc. but also every album from Nine Inch Nails, which is of course a completely different style and wouldn't go together well in a shuffled playlist. So basically I use playlists to organize the music in my library into styles and listen to similar tracks. Although I have several lists already, I know that there are still albums in the library that were not placed into any playlist yet, so unless I play everything, certain things will never play. Here is where my suggestion comes in - if there could be some kind of list or flag showing which titles or albums are not part of a playlist yet, I could add the albums I forgot, or set up additional playlists for the music that does currently not fit into the existing lists.

   I see your reasoning, but assume that there are very few people like you who would actually take advantage of this feature. What do you think?

   I understand fully. Please take this as it was intended - a simple suggestion, not a demand. :)
