[REQ] "OR" logic operator in Autoplaylist

Post by terryo »

It would be fantastic if I could use an OR operator in Autoplaylist. Here's the scenario:

Right now "Match ____________ of the following criteria" has only two options, "All" or "Any".

I would great to be able to build an Autoplaylist that can mix, for example, genres. Example:

OR Genre contains Africa
OR Genre contains Jazz
AND Rating >= 3.5 stars
AND Added < days ago 365
AND Added > days ago 30

"OR" is the main Boolean operator that would greatly improve my use of MediaMonkey. Without "OR", I haven't figured out how to set up an Autoplaylist that can populate itself with music from two genres except for the awkward method of nesting playlists. I already nest playlists two levels and don't want to go to a third or more because that makes playlist use in MMA more cumbersome.

You can created a [Nested condition] with ANY for the Genre's and All for the root criteria.

Also if you set Genre = Africa; Jazz you'd have an OR for Genre.

The semicolon works for one Genre and mostly likely everything else.

But my wife wants to pull up Jazz >= 4 stars AND Africa >= 3.5 stars

How can I do that?

One Nested Condition with both Jazz and 4 stars Criterias
Another Nested Condition with both Africa and 3.5 stars Criterias

All are set to Match All.
