how do you set up nested rules for iTunes smart playlist

Hello \"alice\",

It sounds like you want to add additional criteria to your Smart Playlists. I found an article with steps you can use to refine your Smart Playlist. Step 2 specifically has what I think you are looking for:

2. To have iTunes add songs that match specific criteria, make sure to select "Match the following rule," then make your selections from the pop-up menus.

• For example, you might want iTunes to only add songs that are by a particular artist, or songs with at least a four-star rating.
• To add additional matching criteria, click the Add button.

You can find the full article here:

iTunes: How to create a Smart Playlist

The article says it is archived. In the current version of iTunes, in step 1 you will select File>New>Smart Playlist. Also, if you need to edit an existing Smart Playlist, you can right click (or hold command while you click) on it and select Edit Smart Playlist.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Best,

Sheila M.

In Windows, click the ellipsis button.

On a Mac, hold the Option key.

Either will let you enter rules nested to the rule above. See picture.
