Duplicate existing criteria in iTunes' Smart Playlists

This one might not be new, but it is pretty useful. When you are designing a Smart Playlist in iTunes, you sometimes want to specify the same criterion a number of times -- Playlist is Often and Playlist is Rare and Playlist is New, for example. If you click the Plus (+) button, you're offered an empty Artist criterion. You then have to manually select the criterion type you're after in the pop-up menu (and with iTunes not being keyboard controllable ... what a waste of time!).

But a nice feature is hiding in this dialog: Just option-click the Plus button next to the criterion you want to replicate, and iTunes will create an exact copy. Enjoy!
