Smart Playlist Help

I am in need of a little bit of assistance in creating a smart playlist in iTunes on Windows. Now that's important because i can't use Applescript. I want to create a Smart Playlist that will automatically shuffle the settings inside the playlist every time iTunes opens, so i don't have the same playlist each time i sync my iPod. Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong (or if it's even possible to do what i want without Applescript )


Artist - Contains - Dylan

Limit to - 900 - Songs

Selected by - Random <<<<< That's the issue, although that is selected the playlist is sorted alphabetically.

Match only checked songs

I just want a playlist that will shuffle all my Bob Dylan songs for me, is that so hard? It's a pain to have a regular playlist and manually reshuffle it, since i have about 10 of those type of Artist-specific playlists

 

I did that all and it still doesn't work, it creates a playlist by album still, even with the leftmost field sorting.... And with the last played it is no different than before other than limiting some of my songs to not being played

 

That didn't do anything... thanks for trying though, especially for even going so far as to go on a windows machine later for me

 

well currently my Bob collection is 826 songs but im looking to acquire the entire catalog soon, bringing it to about 900... Anyway the entire reason for the playlist is just to shuffle all of one artist on my iPod, i don't really care about it on my computer so the party shuffle isn't really what i need anyway.

 

well i didn't know you could actually set the iPod to do that with the whole shuffle thing so that's fine for me... anyway it's a 60GB 5th gen so i get 20ish hrs of playback which should suffice for shuffling an artist

Thank you all.
