Pro Tip: Make iTunes Smart Playlist With Multiple Genres

I wanted to cre­ate a playlist which included both “Blues” and “R&B/Soul” but I didn’t think it was pos­si­ble until I learned this trick. When you cre­ate a Smart Playlist in iTunes you are able to add rules to build it. The playlist can either match all or any. This setup does not allow you to include mul­ti­ple gen­res. While creating/editing a Smart Playlist hold down the Option key, this changes the ‘+’ (plus) in the rules option to a ‘…’. Click on the new “…” but­ton it cre­ates a new rule option that allows you to choose either ALL or ANY of the same type.
