1. I use SQL Playlists and Trackstat quite a lot. My most common selection method by far is a random dynamic playlist of never played tracks and while I'm listening I will rate the songs and occasionally play a random selection of top rated songs. I also have a selction of SQL playlists which are a bit less general - e.g. Rock music from 1968-74. If I'm in the mood for a particular artist/genre I will use (custom) browse to get to it. Quite often I will hear a song from a random playlist and it will remind me of another song I would like to listen to. To find these I prefer to use Lazy Search, as this seems the quickest way, and insert them into the playlist. I do not use any static playlists.
Generally, I like to hear a random selection, sometimes modified by certain criteria, but with the ability to add individual tracks at will. 2. I think the combination of SQL Playlists, Custom Browse/Scan and Trackstat already gives plenty of scope for future ways to listen that I've not yet thought of! I'm also quite intrigued by the LastFM similar artists feature of Custom Scan. It seems to allow a Pandora-like selection from my library. An option to permanently exclude the currently playing artist from a 'similar' playlist would be useful. -- MillmoorRon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MillmoorRon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6413 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32202 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
