i'm trying to set up a smart playlist of a group of quite a few artists. unfortunately it seems that if i have more than twenty-four playlist conditions, the bottom of the window goes below my screen and i can't see it. i'm on an ibook, so screen real estate isn't exactly in abundance.
But, increasing screen resolution is not a solution for everyone.

yeah...i'm on an ibook, so i can't up the screen size at all. the problem i've found with adding more from the top, is you can't access the bottom stuff without deleting the top ones.

Well, this won't really solve the problem of the ill-designed dialog box, but you could try doing two separate playlists with 12 artists in each, then make a new playlist that references something like "track is in Artist Playlist 1 or track is in Artist Playlist 2". That would glom them both together.

You could try to use a virtual desktop system, so that your iBook thought it had more realestate to spread out onto. VirtualDesktopPro (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7966) is one choice, or you can pursue the free Desktop Manager (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12682).
