Dale,
I created the Smart Playlist after clicking on the iPod Touch in the  
Devices list.  I have elected to manually manage the music on the iPod  
so I don't sync any playlists.

One more interesting note, while the Touch is connected to my MacBook  
it counts down the number of songs just as it used to when disconnected.
