iTunes, this should be easier

There must be an easier way to do this or I am definitely missing something.  All I wanted to do was create a playlist that excluded all songs that were listed as explicit.  Sounds simple, right?  Well, I searched around for a bit and finally gave up and decided it would be easier to just scroll through 4000 songs, watch for the red explicit text, get info on the song, add the word Explicit to the Comment field, and then build a Smart Playlist rule that says “Comment” “does not contain” “Explicit.”

Am I missing something or should the Explicit/Clean tagging be made available as a field so we can use it for playlists, etc.?  My solution worked in the end, but it took a while to scroll through all of those songs and add to the comment field.  Thankfully I only had 4000 or so, but I don’t envy those of you that want to do this and have 10,000 songs or more.

Come on Apple, make this one easier.
