auto playist and file type??

[markeh]

File-type (think mp3 or flac) is not available in auto-playlist, either as a selection or sort criteria.
Am I missing something. Is this a feature, or a bug??

thx,

It's available as Extension in the Others Criteria section.

I guess I need a bit more help.
Extension? where do I find this.
thx,

Extension one of the available Criteria under Others when setting up Criteria for the AutoPlaylist: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... ylists/5.0

Well, not on my copy of MM ( 5.0.1.2433)
There is an OTHER in the selection criteria. Within this, TYPE selects for things like music, podcasts, etc. Not encoding type.
There is no other in the sort criteria.

Maybe I'm missing something - it happens.

thx,

Hi,
You have Extension under Other also.

Hi,
You have Extension under Other also.

Ahhh - now I see. The column heading is File Type. That's what I was looking for.
Would still like to see this as a sort criteria, that that's a start.

thx,

Although Extension isn't available as sort you can manually sort the AutoPlaylist when viewing it on File Type (this would need to be done each time you view the AutoPlaylist) to get that result.
