Special Playlists
Party Shuffle
Party Shuffle is a playlist that shuffles the contents of your entire library or another playlist. Songs can quickly be added, reordered, and deleted from the lineup.
At the bottom of the Party Shuffle window is an area that allows you to change the source of the songs. You can choose your library or any playlist.
Notice that you can also designate how many upcoming and previously played songs will be displayed. If you don't want an upcoming song in the playlist, just highlight it and press delete. The song will be removed from the playlist but not from your library.
Smart Playlists
iTunes comes with several pre-created playlists, including My Top Rated, Recently Added, and Recently Played. These are smart playlists dynamically update themselves as you listen to songs and change your library.
To create your own smart playlist, go to the File menu and select New Smart Playlist. Also, if you hold down the option key (or shift key on a PC), the picture on the Create Playlist button in the bottom left corner of the window will change from a plus sign to a gear. Click on the gear button to create a smart playlist.
Here, you can specify criteria for the songs you want in your playlist. For example, here, I want my playlist to include only my rock songs that I've rated with four stars. Now, whenever I add a new Rock genre track and rate it with four stars, it will automatically appear in this playlist.
