starts with and contains are options for Genre in AutoPlaylist criteria.

I am trying out MM as an alt. to iTunes

I am trying to reproduce the smart playlists I had in iTunes

I had playlists which for example, were "Latin" (genre <starts with> "Latin") , "Latin Mix" (genre <contains> "Latin")

I have had a go with the basic playlist, and notice if I put "Latin" in the genre it picks up any song with Latin anywhere in the genre (equivalent to my smart playlist - "Latin Mix"

does the paid version allow me to reproduce the other lists I mention above?

Not having a trial version of the full prog. is proving a bit of a hurdle in deciding whether to purchase MediaMonkey...
