Make Smart Playlists in iTunes

In standard playlists, you choose the songs to include and the order of the songs. If you want something a little smarter—for example, a playlist that includes all the songs by an artist or composer or all songs with a certain star rating—and something that automatically updates when new songs are added, create a Smart Playlist. With Smart Playlists, you set the criteria and iTunes automatically creates a list of songs that match and updates it with new songs every time you add one that matches its parameters. Smart Playlists can only be created in the desktop version of iTunes, but after you create them there, sync them to your iPhone or iPod Touch.
