Help creating auto-playlists with different rating-based song limits

[cyberphil]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for help setting up an auto-playlist in MediaMonkey. My goal is to create a playlist that selects songs based on their rating (stars), but with a different number of tracks for each rating.

For example:
50 songs rated 5 stars
30 songs rated 4 stars
20 songs rated 3 stars

I’ve tried playing around with the auto-playlist rules, but I haven’t figured out how to limit the number of songs per rating level within a single playlist.

Does anyone know how to do this in MediaMonkey? Is it possible natively ?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can't, however you can create an AutoPlaylist for each, and then create an AutoPlaylist that includes those AutoPlaylists with the Playlists is Criteria.

Thank you, Lowlander!

That was simple enough.

I never thought of using three different playlists to do the job.

It can get complicated, mine are, but you get really fine control over the mix of files in your playlist. I personally use sub-playlists per type of Genre, further divided by decade.
