Autoplaylist - logic bug?

Post by adamlove »

This software is awesome by the way!

So, I have Parent Autoplaylists set up with conditions such as 115-135 BPM like below:

I have Child Autoplaylists set up to use only their Parent playlist (eg 115-135), but to also filter ratings conditions (such as 5 Star):

However you'll see, I'm getting false positives - Child Autoplaylist contains a 5 Star track with no BPM set (Show Me What You Got). This isn't contained in the Parent Playlist or any of the other Child Playlists.

The workaround for the meantime, will do for now but a little tedious, has been to go through and click parent, then unclick all child autoplaylists.

It appears to be logically incorrect - would this be undesired behaviour?

Anyway, thank you for all your great work!

Chech which Playlists are actually included. The 5 star Playlist includes the 5 star Playlist. As it can't include itself, it likely is different playlist with the same name, thus explaining the included files.

Why You use double Criteria when you can set BPM -> Between -> 115-135 ???

Ah - yes I did previously have two more playlists (outside of this family of lists) that were named the same thing. Have since deleted them however as I fine tune my mobile sync/DJ software playlists.

Thanks again.

Hi,
I am curious what DJ software you use on Mobile? Somehow this feels that you loose much time maintaining the playlists rather than enjoying working on your DJ software and that more you expand number of playlists it become harder and prone to mistakes.
