Smart or dynamic playlists are lists of songs automatically generated and managed by your computer, based on criteria specified by you. There are many ways of achieving that. There's the Apple way and there's the Erland way. Don't forget that you can also create crude smartplaylists by using the browse menu on your Squeezebox. Select "browse by genre", scroll down to "jazz" and then press play. Voilà! Slimserver will automatically generate a list of tracks, based on the criteria you just specified (genre = jazz) So if you use that function, your are using smartplaylists, even if you're not using Apple's smartplaylists or Erland's dynamic playlists plugin. Now, the question is: is this good enough for me? My answer is "no". Its much too crude. I want slimserver to generate track lists, based on multiple criteria, like genre, artist, comment, rating... -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29368 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
