Tony,
  I was about to complain that I had already mentioned this, but I went back and read my thread and realized it was about as clear as mud.  Sorry, I really shouldn't write things like that in a hurry!
  Anyway, I've been doing this already for about a month and I figured out a few other cool things you can do.
  - Under each artist, you can "weight" songs by creating two playlists, a "favorites" and an "others" (make sure you select to only play one item out of each list) and putting songs you want to play more in your "favorites" and everything else in "others".  Then copy the "favorites" folder again.   Only one of the three playlists (favorites, others, favorites) will be selected, and then one song out of each of these.  Of course your "favorites" has better odds of being the selected folder.  I put all songs I don't know in "other" playlists and this causes them do be in the mix every so often and I discover new music I didn't know I had.
  - You can also "bind" two songs together (like say "Eruption" and "You Really God Me") by putting them in their own playlist and NOT selecting the options to only select one item.  When this playlist is selected, both items will be played (in order if you have "shuffle" off).
  I've been really playing with this stuff and have had excellent results.  Sorry if this post isn't very clear, I'm just not very good at describing this stuff.
