[iTunes] How to Manually select a portion of a library without individual clicking

[Scott Stamper]

Steve,
Here's how I set up the Smart playlist:
	"Match All"
	"My rating is 5 star"............I've rated the music I like best with 
5 stars
	"Size is 3800MB"...........hoping this correlates to the playlist 
size, rather that the song size
	"limit to 500 songs selected by Random" ............figuring 500 songs 
will probably exceed 3.8GB.....true, false?
	"live updating" checked
Thanks for your reply. Let me know if you (or anyone else on the list) 
thinks this is how to set up the Smart playlist.
