How do i "play all" from a Playlist

Question

I'm a 1st time iTunes user trying to organize my music.  I want to setup a category for 'piano' music and created a new playlist.  But I don't see how I can 'play all' the music in that in one session.   Is there a way to 'play all' in a Playlist?

When you access the metadata for an album, you can obviously pick a genre from the dropdown that appears when you click on the up/down arrows next to the genre field:
The values listed are the ones built-in to iTunes plus any you've defined yourself.  However, instead of picking one of these values, you can click in the field itself and start typing.  Initially iTunes will try to match what you type to an existing genre (so when you type "P" it'll select "Podcast") but keep typing until you've completed the new genre:
Now, having entered this once "by hand", your new genre is added to the dropdown for future selection:
You can now define a smart playlist that uses this new genre, as described in my previous comments.  Whether this is then recognized by the Bose system I don't know - its not technology I'm familiar with, though I would assume that it would be picking up "genre" as a piece of metadata from the iTunes library and/or media files and would just use whatever values it finds there.  The only exception I can think of is that the Bose system is somehow "hard-coded" to iTunes' built-in genres only (which would be a pretty dumb thing to do, but ......).
