Play songs from multiple playlists in iTunes

This may be well known to many, or it may seem incredibly obvious, since folders have been allowed in iTunes' playlists since iTunes 5 was released four years ago, but I just figured this one out...

If you have a bunch of playlists in a single folder, you can play all of those playlists as if they were a single playlist by selecting the folder and playing it. Anything you can do with an ordinary playlist -- shuffling, sorting, etc. -- you can also do when playing a playlist folder. The hint works with folders that contain ordinary playlists or smart playlists.

[robg adds: I thought we had this documented here somewhere from years ago, but I couldn't find it. As far as I know, though, there's no way to combine playlists from multiple folders (i.e. Shift and/or Command don't work to select more than one playlist).]
