Hi all, I've had two squeezeboxesv3 for many years now, and previously
i've got most answers i needed by reading these forums, but now i have a
problem that needs your help with a special type of playlist.

Playlist goal: create a playlist (random tracks at this stage) by
looking at artists that have tracks in one date range, then playing only
these artists tracks from a different date range. An example: an artist
has had tracks in the 80's, 90's, 00's etc. I want to play their early
tracks, not their latest tracks. The date range may not be actual
decades, it could be early 90's and late 90's, in this case i want only
the early 90's.

This scenario usually occurs as i'm listening to random playlist and an
artist plays a track, and i think, i'd like to hear some of their early
work, or their work in the x-y years. I would also like to work in
reverse as well.

Another way i thought this could work with less user input would be a
dynamic playlist that first selects only artists that have tracks in 2
date ranges ie 70's & 90's then plays only the artists 70's tracks. this
would be multiple artists, not just one.

If this is also possible using other plugins, i'd been interested in
that too.

I hope i'm not asking for too much here.

Other info:
On complication albums by a single artist, I tag each track so the year
is set to the year when the track was first released.
I also have a lot of single tracks with and without album tag across
multiple years.
