I use a lot of smart playlists in iTunes and could never get them to work well with SBS. One way around the problem (ie what I do) is recreate the smart playlists using Erland's plug-ins. Have a look at CustomScan (which will import ratings and play counts from iTunes into SBS), then SQLPlaylist and DynamicPlaylists to recreate Smart Playlists. There is wiki information on how to do this but if you have any questions just shout and I'll try to help. It takes a while to configure, but once it's done then it's as good as iTunes IMHO.
