Often you want to filter or limit the smart playlist to things like: - Only include music you don't listen to very often - Only include music you haven't listen to for a long time - Only include music which you love (top rated tracks) - Exclude music you hate (low rated tracks) - Only include music you listen to often.
Neither Sonos nor Logitech seems to understand this need, which is why I decided to provide support for all of it through third party plugins instead. It could be that smart playlists is something that would only used by a small subset of the users and that this is the main thing that makes it less interesting for them to include support for it, but then it's strange that both Apple (iTunes/iPod) and Microsoft (WMP) has decided to include it in their products because especially Apple is usually pretty restrictive regarding including features which is only used by a few users. Possibly it might be that both Apple and Microsoft is focused at local music while Logitech is more focused at streaming from online services. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97599 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
