About Smart Playlists
Using iTunes, you can automatically create customized Smart Playlists from the
songs in your library. You can create a Smart Playlist that includes only certain
genres of music, songs by certain artists, or songs that match particular criteria.
For example, you could create a playlist that’s no more than 3 gigabytes (GB) in
size and includes only songs you have rated 3 stars or higher (see “Rating
Songs” on page 17).
After you create a Smart Playlist, any songs on iPod that meet the Smart Playlist’s
criteria are automatically added to the Smart Playlist.
