I was hoping someone with a little more experience would answer you, but I’ll give it a try. I am not aware of any process to randomize the actual playlist, but one can always use the shuffle feature to achieve the same thing. I resigned myself to that when I first moved to iTunes. As for quickly adding the music, if there’s some common feature of all the music, you could easily set up a smart playlist based on that feature. For example, I use the Grouping field for such things. I think it is used for classical tracks by iTunes, but I’ve never seen anything in it that I didn’t put there. Granted, I only have a handful of classical selections. Otherwise, I think you could use the multiple selection feature to highlight a group of songs and add them at once to a playlist using the context menu, (sorry for the windows terminology) but I haven’t learned how to do that with Voiceover yet. I don’t typically build playlists that large all at once, but what I did recently was perform a search and then move individual tracks as I found them to the playlist I was adding to. Once you have moved one, a menu item appears in the context under “Add to Playlist” at second from the top that will add to the last playlist you used.
