Summary	0015773: Auto-Playlists with multiple criteria limits are not supported or imported from MM4
Description	Auto Playlists with Multiple Limits fail to import in MM5 as adding multiple limits to Auto-Playlist is not available in MM5 When Playlists have two enable Limits they fail to import and all but one limit is lost.
Steps To Reproduce	Create Auto-Playlist in MM4 with these settings Using ALL Match and Entire Library: Status -> Is accessible Type -> Music Rating >= 5 Track Length <= 660 Seconds (To eliminate long Tracks) ----------- Sort -> Random -> Z..A ----------- Limit -> 100 Tracks (At that time my Car Stereo could read up to 100 tracks) Limit -> 80 Min (If I want to limit that to an Audio CD)
Tags	No tags attached.

I guess that using multiple limitations is rather rare case, probably just the Audio CD example (100 tracks / 80 minutes) ? Assigned to Rusty to decide whether the UI should be re-designed because of this, but sounds rather as a low priority item to me.

rusty 2019-06-20 14:07 administrator ~0053912	I agree that this is probably not that common, so, 1) In the short term: Assuming this isn't hard/risky to implement, MM5 should import such playlists from MM4, but with only a single limit (preferentially use limits of minutes, MB, files) 2) In the long term we'll see if this is really a problem. If it is, we can update the UI with a '+' to add a second limit (but not a second option to 'Select by' e.g. [ ] Limit to _50_ _files__v . . Selected by: _random_ [+] . . Limit to _100_ _MB_ . . [-]
