Limiting nested smart playlists?

Why isn't there a way to make a smart playlist out of nested playlists but tell the smart playlists how many songs from each playlist to create?

Here's an example (as I realize that makes NO sense)

Let's say I want a mix of songs I've listened to lots with songs I've never listened too -- so I have 2 playlists:

1]


playcount is over 3

and

2]


playcount is 0

now, I want to make a smart playlist (arranged randomly- lets say 25 songs)) that will mix the two of them but put lets say 20 songs from playlist 1 and 5 from playlist 2. It doesn't seem that there's a way to do something like this... ???

Just set a limit on smart playlists 1 & 2. Then create a limit on the combined, nested list. This will accommodate your design.

To clarify on dfbills (possibly unneeded), you must edit each playlist individually, not by editting the master playlist. go to playlist 1, select "limit to 20 songs</b>" and edit playlist 2 and select "limit to 5 songs"
hope that helps
