There is a feature I wish iTunes had or if it does have it I wish it was clearer on how to do it. My question is this: I would like to have playlists with sub-playlists inside. To make this clear, here is what I would like to have it do. All I can do right now is make a playlist say called "Garth Brooks" and "Shania Twain" for example. What I would like to do is make a playlist called "country" and the inside have multiple playlists. Graphically, this is what I mean:

What I can do now:

playlist:

Country-->
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Song 4
etc., etc.

OR I can do this:

playlist 1:

Garth Brooks-->
Song 1
Song 2
etc.

playlist 2:

Shania Twain-->
Song 1
Song 2
etc.

Now here is what I would like to do but cannot figure out how to:

Playlist:

Country-->

sub-list 1-->
Garth Brooks-->
song 1
song 2
etc.

sub-list 2-->
Shania Twain-->
song 1
song 2
etc.

Do you get what I mean? If this isn't possible, I hope someone at Apple reads this and includes it in the next revision of iTunes. Thanks!

Marty

Well, aside from stop listening to Country music, here's what you can do:

Select 'Browse' in iTunes (I think it's a little icon at the top-right. You now 2 or three selection lists at the top ("Genre", "Artist" and "Album" - you have to specifically turn on 'Genre' in the preferences). You can select any combination of these lists, and any tracks that qualify will be listed in the song list area. You can just play from this list, or use it to create a new playlist (command-A, File->New Playlist from Selection)
