Using this new 'finder method' how can you time efficiently load select albums from computer to phone?

I'm wondering how you are supposed to load select albums on to your phone using the new Finder method. It seems that you have to know the exact name of an album or if you know the name of the artist, you just have download every album you have in your library by them. This can't be right and is punishing for people with giant music collections.

For example, Radiohead. I have 15 Radiohead albums on my iMac, I want to put several on my phone but don't have room all 15. Am I supposed to scroll through the 100's of albums in the alphabetical list to try and remember which ones are Radiohead?

There was a time when iTunes only supported syncing with playlists, rather than playlists, genres, artists, and albums. It was a simpler time, with a lot less room for confusion. Make a playlist that has all of the content that you want on your device. Or more than one if you to. Sync with selected playlists. Thereafter you tweak your playlists, connect and sync. Easy as.
