iTunes - bumps in the road

So I started playing with Smart Playlists with the idea set one up that dynamically creates a playlist of tunes that I haven't played in a while. Then each time I sync my ipod, I get a fresh set of tunes. I set it up properly, but it displays and sync the same songs over and over and over. A little research at my trusty library revealed that this function to dynamically update your smart playlist works in odd numbered versions of Itune but not even numbered versions. I suspect with version 8 that Apple's desires was to push folk toward the genius playlist over the smart playlist.

Plus another beef, when you rent movies off itunes, you can't load them directly on classic or version 5.5 or previous ipods. Rats.
