No luck on updating smart playlists on the iPod, I imagine.

i wish they would make it do Any and All's in one smartlist. like if you wanted to get the best of 3 different bands, you would do ANY of the bands and they ALL have to be < 3. oh well.

why cant we add songs to 'on the go' from the now playing instead of backing out and manually finding the song?

This helps with songs that need to be re categorized or deleted.

I'm still using iTunes 4.6 (neglected to upgrade to 4.7). Anyone have any experience going directly from 4.6 - 4.8? Any problems folks have run into?

Thanks!

Yep, i also didn't grab iTunes 4.7.
No upgrading troubles whatsoever.

MR, if you make a smart playlist in iTunes limited to five songs, sorted by most recently played, that playlist will update dynamically on the iPod and show you the last five songs it's played.

Then, to add the now-playing song to on-the-go, you just wait until the song is over (or scrub to the end), and open that "5 latest" playlist, scroll down to the song, and click the center button.

warning! I updated to 4.8 and within 2 days my Ipod was dead. Luckily it was still under the year warranty so I got a new one. Then after spending hours uploading my songs, 2 days later the new one died as well (the same death--total failure of the ipod to be able to find the drive--bad noises ensue and the geniuses don't understand it.) So on a hunch, I cleaned itunes off my computer and re-installed 4.7 for my third ipod. a week plus later and it's still going strong. Apparently not all updates are a good thing.
