spake thusly:
set the_playlists to the name of playlist {"_Recently Added", "Chill"}
This isn't going to work because:
1) "name of playlist" is a string not a list, name of every
playlist returns a list of strings, You're trying to set
"the_playlists" to the name of a single playlist whose name is a
list of strings.
2) You've already got the names you need in the statement and
don't need to get them again.
This works fine OMM, just change the playlist names as required.

set {pick_random_pl, pick_random_song} to {true, true}
tell application "iTunes"
set the_playlists to {"Joe Kubek", "J.J. Cale"}
if pick_random_pl then
set the_choice to some item of the_playlists
else
set the_choice to item 1 of (choose from list the_playlists
with prompt ¬
"Pick a Playlist:" without multiple selections allowed and
empty selection allowed)
end if
if pick_random_song then
set the_track to some track of playlist the_choice
else
set the_track to first track of playlist the_choice
end if
play the_track
end tell
