smart playlists of the form ( A OR B OR C ) AND X

[Alex]

Amarok 1.4 allowed you to set "Match Any of the following conditions" as well as "Match All of the following conditions" for smart playlists. This allowed you to create playlists with conditions like "( Artist == A OR Artist == B) AND ( Rating >=4 AND Genre == 'Rock' )".

This would be a great feature to bring to Exaile's smart playlists, which seem to only allow you to set a list of conditions joined by AND or OR.

Could you give a screenshot of this?

[Alex (alex-public-account+launchpad)]

Certainly.

The following screen shot shows a playlist which selects songs by Mozart, Beethoven, or Mossorgsky which have a rating of greater than 3.5 (so 4 stars and up).

probably the easiest way to do this in 0.3.x is to just allow users to enter custom search queries in the smart playlist editor. then you could do something like this directly:

(artist=="A" | artist=="B") rating>=4 genre=="rock"
