Thanks, that looks like what I'm after!

I was just thinking of a generic playlist which could replace a lot of
my more specific ones.

For example, 4 parameters (genre, year, 'customtag', artist)

If 'all' was an option in the drop-down lists you could create a varying
degree of customisation to suit the mood without needing lots of
different SQL files.

I might one day want to listen specifically to tracks which are tagged
as metal from 1994 by Finnish bands (country of origin is one of my
custom tags) but the next day I might fancy pop music from any year by
Belgian artists - though that could be a very short playlist - or all
genres from a year, or all from a year by a specific artist, etc.

Similar to how the dynamic mixed tags Custom Browse menu works but in a
more structured way.
