| I was hoping that I could get by without creating a million playlists.
Maybe if I could get AS to create a playlist, put the songs I want in there, play those songs, then delete the playlist when I am done.
I have over 5000 songs with probably 3000 artists.
I will look onto seeing if I can make the first one work.
My overall goal is to send a text to Mail and have it tell iTunes what to play. I already have playlists controlled by a wireless remote but there is only 20 total that I can choose from. My cell phone would all me to type in whatever artist I want to hear and have it play.

You can't make iTunes play an arbitary list of songs via AppleScript. You need to make that a list of songs somewhere in the iTunes interface first and then play that list. There are several ways you may be able to do this. I am not sure if they are all possible with AppleScript. I'm not on my Mac right now.
1. Create a new playlist containing those songs.
2. Add the songs to iTunes DJ and play them there.
3. Display the playlist in the window, do a query to reduce the list to the desired songs and then play them. This one is not advisable as it won't work if the user changes what is displayed in iTunes.
Your best option I think is the first one, where you can have a specific playlist for your result. This one is definitely scriptable.
