| Summary | 0000216: Relative Queries for AutoPlaylists | ||||
| Description | Very often, users want to create playlists where the criteria are relative e.g.: -50 Most frequently played -100 Most recently played -650 Minutes of highest tempo music, where occasion = party I'm not aware of a means of constructing these types of queries with build 1.473 (correct me if I'm wrong). Building this functionality would imply: -specifying exactly what relative queries should be supported -support constraints on the # of songs / duration of the generated playlist What do you think? | ||||

Currently you can use advanced queries to limit # of songs (Limit results to ...). I agree that limiting the length could be useful too (possibly even by size in kB or MB). Also there are two examples (Top 50, Last 50 Played) of such auto-playlists after installation (you can try to use some installer), which are available in the free version too. |
|
|
I haven't seen the canned autoplaylists that you refer to?? (I just checked my build which was installed via an installer + an update...). Am I missing something?? |
|
|
When you use the installer (1.3.5 definitely works, but others should too) and install Songs-DB to a new folder (in existing the database isn't overwritten) then these playlists should be in Playlists node. |
|
|
OK, so I'll resolve bug #215 based on your comments, and test it as soon as we have a build with an installer. As far as this bug goes, though, I still haven't been able to figure out how to construct what I've termed as a 'relative' query... |

Closing. The better constraints/sorts and proximity sensing defined elsewhere better describe what's needed. |
