Creating family-safe iTunes playlists

I have a rather large iTunes collection and an iPod. With today's music, often there are songs that contain harsh language. So, when my daughter asks me can she listen to my iPod I worry that she will hear stuff that she shouldn't. However, I have found a way of creating a play list that is "G-rated."

In the comments field type in 'Rated G' for songs that meet your requirements. Then, simply create a smart playlist that looks for "Rated G" in the comments field.

Now, when my daughter asks to use the iPod, I simply choose that play list and I worry a lot less.

[Editor's note: Looking at this hint in from a general perspective, using the comment field and creating playlists based on comment search results offers a lot of possibilities...]
