Sub Genres or associating to SmartPlaylists ?
Hi Simon,
I searched around the forum without conclusion to the following: Is it possible to have MinimServer configurable to present a Recently Added genre or similar, and also is it possible to have it present sub genres such as I effectively have created in iTunes, a.k.a- Smart PlayLists ? As an example of the SmartPlaylists I've created, I have made all tracks in my iTunes library defined by every resolution from 16/44.1 to 24/352.8, with a separate SmartPlaylist for each. This is very easily determined by assigning the field (sample rate) (is) (xxxkhz) field which is the Rule that is then used to auto populate each associated SmartPlaylist. Likewise I have a primary Classic music genre, but a SmartPlaylist for Classic Harp so that when searching or shuffle playing the Classical music genre nothing is excluded, but I can also limit my listening or shuffle playing within the Classical Harp sub genre SmartPlaylist. In the above case I use the Grouping field, which in iTunes is present for each track, so I tag it .classicalharp. and assign this tag to a SmartPlaylist with the Rule (grouping) (contains) (.classicharp.) Such groupings can be stacked with multiple rules although I haven't done this. As far as I'm concerned the Smart playlists are an incredible powerful defining feature of iTunes which greatly facilitate easy sorting of my near 60,000 track library. Further to my first query as to the mapping of Recently Added music, I actually have a folder named Recently Added which contains 4 such playlists using the rules (date added) (in the last) (xxxdays) One each for 2 days, 4 weeks, 6 months and 12 months. Anyway, if you can incorporate the ability to associate ANY of the SmartPlaylists functionality into MinimServer I would be absolutely head over heels as I no longer directly use iTunes to replay music :-) |
