Hi Daniel, I agree in almost every point. Thank you for clarifying the concepts, I'll use your terminology from now on.

Regarding the member of crate/playlist filter, I'm sorry to keep insisting on the same thing but my concerns are about the user experience.

If users want to use this filter with a smart crate and we don't allow it, they might wonder why they can't. Sure we can inform of that in the manual or even show an info pop-up if they try to do this, but they might feel frustrated.

On the other hand, if we allow the filter to match smart crates, the issue gets even more difficult. As soon as an user tries to do some smart crate configuration that would lead to the reference cycle situation, we should warn him/her and let him/her know which smart crates are affected.

I asked if someone had any idea on how to handle this.
