To create a smart block, click the **New** button on the right side of the Library page, and select **New Smart Block** from the pop-up menu. Like a playlist, smart blocks can have a title and **Description**, which you can edit. This helps you find relevant smart blocks in searches.

If you have a large number of files which meet the criteria that you specify, you may wish to limit the duration of the smart block using the **Limit to** field, so that it fits within the show you have in mind. Select **hours**, **minutes** or **items** from the drop-down menu, and click the **Generate** button again, if it is a static smart block. Then click the **Save** button.
