Doug Adams has posted an awesome new script which will make the sharing of smart playlists a simply a matter sharing a file. Expect to see this tied into the next version of SmartPlaylists.com coming soon.

Export Smart Playlist Criteria will export just the criteria of a selected Smart Playlist to an XML file--similar to the "Export Song List..." command--which any iTunes can import using the "Import..." command in the File menu.

I'm shocked that no one has commented on this! Being THE smartplaylist geek, I'm obviously overjoyed.
If you have smartplaylists to share, send 'em in- contact2005@smartplaylists.com
I'll be adding this as a feature to the website in the near future. ;)
