Hello - When creating a new Smart Playlist in iTunes, I can’t seem to apply more than two rules without the Smart Playlist showing up empty, and a message in the iTunes window that says, “No items currently match the smart playlist rules” Click the Edit button to modify the rules”. I have the playlist to match “all” of the rules I input, and it shows up fine with the first two rules, but after clicking the “+” and adding more rules — even just one — I hit OK, and it’s right back to the empty window with that message. For what it’s worth, the first rule is to match “Media Kind” “is” “Home Video”. The added rules are set to match a “Name”. The weird thing is I have two other Smart Playlists with similar criteria, and they work fine. Any help would be much appreciated.

Well, if you had a Home Video named "Introductory Beginner Intermediate Advanced Expert," it would be in there! You need to nest the last 5 rules. Try this instead: Posted on Mar 21, 2015 6:01 PM Smart playlist won't accept multiple rules

You can create a Smart Playlist that automatically organises songs into playlists based on criteria you specify. Whenever you add items to your music library that meet the criteria of a Smart Playlist, the Smart Playlist is automatically updated to include them. For example, you could create a Smart Playlist that includes your most highly rated rock songs that were released before 1990 or after 2000. When you import songs from a CD, they’re automatically added to the Smart Playlist if they meet the criteria. Smart Playlists you create have this icon next to them.Tip: Select All Playlists in the sidebar (below Playlists) to show all your playlists with cover art and organised by playlist type.

How do I refresh my smart playlist?However, there is a relatively simple way to accomplish this: Go to your Smart Playlist that you want to refresh, select all of the tracks in that playlist, and hit the “Delete” key. These tracks will be removed from the playlist (not your iTunes library), and replaced with a new random selection.
How do I refresh a smart playlist in iTunes?You can refresh the content of a smart playlist by selecting all and pressing delete. Tracks aren't removed from the library, but a random selection would be updated, for example. Check the rules of the smart playlist to make sure that automatic updating is enabled.
Why is it not letting me share my playlist on Apple Music?If your playlist contains songs from your local files only, you won't be able to share it until you sync the playlist with the Apple Cloud Music Library. Turn on the "Sync Library" function on your iPhone or iPad to do it.
What is the difference between a playlist and a smart playlist?Standard playlists are lists of music that you create manually by placing specific songs in the playlist. Smart playlists are created by iTunes based on criteria you select. Genius playlists are created based on songs that “go with” a song you designate.
