greggw,
... lol
I'm quite surprised that there is no "not equal to" int he advanced autoplaylist section for rating... this should definitely be put in.
as for a work around (those dreaded words)
and a work around that will only work in MM3 no less!
when you get MM3, make a playlist that says match "ANY" of these criteria
rating = unknown
rating >= 3
that will do what you want.. and if that's all you want, easy.
if you want to add some more MANDATORY criteria you have to do it by combining playlists (MM doesn't have a complexe query builder, which is unfortunate - I don't shut up about this btw).
so... create another autoplaylist that says match ALL of the criteria
playlist = is in playlist 1
other criteria
as for magic nodes... that supports a query type string and you can probably do it there... (though it would be more complicated than rovingcowboys example)
- but while people always suggest magic nodes as an answer, 'I' find it's rarely an answer when working with playlists... quite often you want playlists for transferring to ipods and the like.. and you don't have that same functionality with a magic node.
hop that helps, shame it's only available in MM 3
