One more thing about smart playlists: the more information you give it to work with, the smarter it works. Until just now I've always set out in creating a smart playlist to do something specific such as playing the newest podcasts in the order I receive them. But just now I wanted to put on some good songs and not think about picking anything. So I created a smart playlist that would assemble a list of songs I have rated four stars or above, and have been played more then 5 times. So in other words, songs that are so great I like to listen to them frequently (I've rebuilt my iTunes library recently). To my surprise, all 25 songs in the list are great!
