Regarding the "explicit" functionality, I agree with you in theory.
Unfortunately, SlimServer tag support is quite limited (at last check
Title, Artist, Album, Genre) so I am not sure how one would "easily"
create playlists without manually doing so... something I wouldn't be
interested in investing much time in.
I certainly agree a "smart" or "dynamic" playlist feature is highly
desirable. It would not only eliminate any need for this as a separate
feature but would allow for a simplified and varied listening
experience. Expanded tag support will be necessary for the feature to
fully realize it's potential.
something I've been imagining since the announcement to go
database-backend is non-id3 based attributes... so instead of mucking
with genre, you could toggle the kid-friendly, holiday, and
spouse-music-that-i-hate flags. I suspect that this sort of feature is
back-burner until the database is so solid that no one needs the Clear
Library Before Scan option.
