Including multiple genres in one smart playlist

Including multiple genres in one smart playlist

Q: Is it possible to create a genre style playlist with multiple genres?  Say I want one that has East Coast Rap, West Coast Rap, and Dirth South. I can’t do “Genre contains ‘Rap’”, because Dirth South genre doesn’t include the word “Rap.” This is just a more simplified version of what I am really trying to do, but I can’t even make this work.


Any ideas?

In this case, make sure you set the playlist to “Match any of the following rules:”, or else your playlist will be empty.
