I just bought my first portable MP3 player (a Rio One) and, until now, never had a need to do anything with iTunes. I'd like to create playlists randomly from the Library or another playlist, given a maximum amount of memory space to fill. I would then take that playlist and download to the Rio. However, I don't see anything in iTunes that would allow me to do that.
Does anybody know how to do something like this, maybe using AppleScript? From what I can tell, iTunes is not scriptable, but could something be set up on disk that iTunes could use?
TIA.

I've discovered a roundabout way to do it using an AppleScript to randomly create aliases to MP3 files in the iTunes library that can be dragged-and-dropped from the Finder onto an empty iTunes playlist. I'm in the process of getting the script to generate folders of aliases for all the tracks in the library or in a playlist (using an exported song list).
