Need help with iTunes from a pro

[randym431]

I got my other half an ipod touch for santa day. Thats not the problem, its using iTunes.
On a usb hard drive, I have two folders. One of a lot of their ripped music cd's in mp3, and a second folder of my mp3 music.
In iTunes, it wants to mix both folders of mp3's into one "library".

I made a play list with one name and brought all one folder music into it.
Now I want to make a play list of mine only music, but how?
I can make a second play list for me, but how to get only my music into that list?

In the "library", all the music is mixed together, tons of mp3's.
So figuring one from the others and dragging song by song from the ?library? would take forever.
There must be an easy way to keep all separate?
Or put the music from my usb folder into my play list in one process?
Or better, separate "libraries" in the first place?

Drag and drop the folder containing 'your' music to it's own playlist.

I really want an iPod Classic, but I despise iTunes greatly and it seems as if Rockbox won't be coming to the newer iPod's due to firmware complications. Is there any software or alternative methods to placing music on an iPod?

Add the "Date Added" field for all of your mp3's. As long as you added the folders/files at different times you should be able to differentiate/sort by the two sources.
