Thanks Keith, sometimes I have my brain set to the old system and forget that
first letter is a defacto search/go to method in a source list.
I found the podcast I mentioned that did a good job of describing the basics
of creating and populating a playlist in iTunes, but I can't find the source
website. If anyone wants it, email me off list and I'll send it directly.
Cheers,
Ian
