Is there any way to do a non-additive search, where it would be using an OR instead of an AND.
Example: create a playlist with songs that have artist name as "TMBG" or with titles that have "cities" in the custom 1 field.
Non-additive search for auto-playlists
Moderator: Gurus
For that use Use 'Contains' or 'Starts With' In condition of Advanced search/AutoPlaylists.

I tried that, and I get no results.
What I'm looking for is a playlist that contains the songs that have TMBG as the artist and the songs that contain "cities" within the Custom 1 field.
I don't want songs that meet both criteria, because there are none. I want songs that meet one OR the other of the criteria. In a web query, this would be an OR query, with the results meeting one OR the other of the keywords searched for, instead of an AND query, which requires the results to match both keywords searched for.
Is there a way for an auto-playlist to do an OR query of this sort?

Well you can't do it in one Auto-Playlist but you can do it in two
Criteria for first one should look like:
1. Artist -> Equals -> TBMG
2. Custom 1 -> Doesn't contain -> cities
Criteria for Second one should look like:
2. Custom 1 -> contains -> cities
1. Artist -> Doesn't equal -> TBMG
Adding both Lists to now playing gives you what you want.
