Make sure that iTunes is set to either one of the two
automatic transfer modes when you are in the iPod options
screen. If you are not in one of these modes you won’t be
able to transfer the play counts, play dates, or ratings in an
easy manner to your iTunes library.
Access the Smart Playlist Dialog
You can access the Smart Playlist dialog box from the
iTunes menu file. You can break the file menu down into
three different areas: (1) the match line, (2) the criteria
lines, and (3) the limiter area. The match line will
determine just how your criteria are evaluated. The line
will change in a contextural way depending on the criteria
lines. When you have specified multiple criteria the match
line will show the any/all pop up. If there is no multiple
criteria the pop up won’t appear.
