Thanks Paul,
This feature is great fun -- and very useful in a classical collection. Am I missing the UI for adding categories, too? (for now, of course, using mysql directly does the trick).
As a general feature, I'd love to build on this one to display search results as options for the "select music" or "play music" screens, without putting them into a playlist per se. For example, search music for recordings featuring Yo-Yo Ma, then select one or a few to add to the temporary "active" playlist. If no one else is thinking along these lines, I'll see if I can dig into the code.

This patch allows you to create playlists that are dynamically updated every time you select one by running a simple SQL query on the musicmetadata table. It allow you to, for example, create a playlist that contains all the tracks by a particular artist, all your favourite tracks, all the tracks from a genre etc. You can also create an order by clause which allows you to order the tracks how you like and limit the number of tracks in a playlist. Playlists can be grouped together by category. You could for example create categories called 'By Artist', 'By Genre' etc. that way you don't get one big list of playlists but several playlist grouped together by a category. The patch adds a few demo smartplaylists to get you started.
