Add additional criteria for automatic playlists

Description
RhythmBox allows for the creation of automatic playlists. So do GTKPod and iTunes. Each of these offers unique criteria fields for the creation of automatic playback rules. To illustrate (hopefully formatting stays intact):
GTKPOD RB iTunes album album Album artist artist Artist bitrate bitrate Bitrate BPM NULL BPM NULL NULL Category comment NULL Comment compilation NULL Compilation composer NULL Composer date added Time added to library Date Added date modified NULL Date Modified NULL NULL Description disc number disc number Disc Number genre genre Genre Grouping NULL Grouping kind NULL Kind last played Time of last play Last Played playcount playcount Play Count playlist NULL Playlist rating rating Stars/Rating NULL NULL Podcast samplerate NULL Sample Rate size NULL Size time duration Time title Title Song Name track number track number Track Number NULL NULL Video Kind year year Year NULL path NULL
It would be nice if Rhythmbox included several of the criteria fields present in the other programs. The ones that stick out to me:
Comment Composer Playlist Samplerate Size
These may have already been included in other enhancement requests, but I thought it would be useful to see a direct comparison to several other players. This can serve as a reference point for developers as to what criteria fields users may be accustomed to.
