I have about 2,000 albums in my library, and I am using RiverMote to control jriver through a touch iPod.
Rivermote has a limitation of 1,000 songs per playlist because of iTunes memory limitations.
I want to set up a bunch of smartlists (which RiverMote does recognize) so I can rapidly find all my songs by genre and album name.
So I need a smartlist, for example that shows all albums with the genre of jazz and an artist name that begins with a through j.
Is there an easy way to write this query/list?

A simple way (though there may be others) to do this would be to start out by creating 3 standard playlists and call them A-I, J-R, and S-Z. Then pull up ALL of your music and drag all of your artists from A-I to the first playlist, the J-R to the second, and the S-Z to the third. Once these playlists are created you will be able to create the desired genre playlists to be accessed through the RiverMote.
For example, you could have a smartlist matching all files in the A-I playlist with the genre of Jazz and so forth.
This will require you to update the 3 stock playlists as you add music, but all of the smartlists will automatically update once you have done so.

The following should give you exactly what you want:
[Media Type]=[Audio] [Genre]=[Jazz] [=IsRange([Artist],A-J)]=1

Brilliant, eba, thank you!
